Ippocampi is popular with families, especially during the school holidays. The villa is not designed with child safety in mind and we do not have a child animation program. Despite that, the kids feel very much at home at Ippocampi with our garden, pool and kids’ shack. Babies and toddlers are very welcome. We provide a free baby cot and a high chair.

You can use our free wireless Internet access.

Pool towels are on request at the reception desk. We provide hairdryers on request as well.

We support the ‘hotel-cat-café-program’ (trap-neuter-return) in order to control the stray cat population in and around Ippocampi. These healthy and happy cats are fed at a certain spot in the garden area and are not allowed in the rooms.

The Greek summer season stretches from April until November.
In May the island is blooming and has less tourism, ideal to explore the island and enjoy the empty beaches.
For beach holidays June and September are the perfect months.
July comes close to perfection too, when the island becomes more lively. August is a beautiful month, but is peak season. The pleasant sea breeze (Meltemi wind) tames the heat.
April and October are mild and sunny months, but you can still fall on the occasional gray-sky day.
The seawater temperature ranges from 20 to 26 degrees Celsius, which makes it enjoyable to swim the whole year round.
