The beachfront property features Mr. E Restaurant serving modern Greek cuisine and an outdoor pool with a stylish bar, while the cliffside suites provide sweeping Aegean views just a short drive away. Together, they provide a unique combination of intimate event spaces and upscale lodging for groups seeking a sophisticated, authentic island experience.
