You'll love this place! We did, great beach next door!

A very nice place to stay in Aegina. Crownview Suites are located in the town of Marathonas, turn right off the ferry and drive for 5 minutes on the coast road, private car park. The self catering room was very clean and spacious, nicely furnished, everything worked, eco friendly in mind. The views to the beach from the verandah are lovely. Situated right on the beach with good clean clear swimming waters. Lots of Tavernas on the beach serving great food. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Room included light breakfast delivered to your room. Highly recommend Crownview Suites, Marathonas, Aegina.

These apartments are basic, clean and white. Tiled floor, with air conditioning. Little kitchen area, small bathroom, balcony.

So far so good, but what makes this even better is that the bright blue shimmering sea is a *very* short walk from the apartments (see photo).

Very nearby are several tavernas, the sandy beach, kayak hire and a small supermarket. The apartments are located at about 10 minutes from the Aegina port (it cost us €7 in a taxi I think).

Just when you thought you'd have to make your own breakfast each morning, a lovely woman comes round about 9.45 with a tray of tea, coffee, juice, biscuits, crisp toast and jam. We preferred to make our own toast but the rest was useful.

The staff are very friendly and will happily call a taxi for you (you could try having dinner in nearby Perdika or back at the port, for example). Free parking should you need it - we hired a quad bike from the port which is a great way of seeing the island.

Only one negative point in this glowing review - the shower was a hand-held one, and no bath. Useful for washing all that sand away but not great for washing long hair!

I can't say enough about this Hotel and its owner. We were a party of 10, 4 parents and 6 children ages from 14 to 23. (4 boys 16-19) Now we all know how boys can be, but Nick, the Hotel owner could not have been more understanding. He was fantastic. The rooms were clean well decorated kitchenette was ample, fully equipt A/C TV and good value. Will most certainly return. Everything that Nick says about on his website about his hotel is true, unlike others. Well done Nick keep up the excellent service.
