Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Mitsis Selection Rinela for its beautiful design and convenient location, a short ride from the airport and near local attractions accessible by bus. The rooms are well-appointed, some featuring private pools and Netflix, and the mini-bar is restocked daily. Dining options abound, with the Taverna often cited as a favorite; while the Asian restaurant's seating area might not appeal to everyone, many enjoy the variety of choices, including gyros, burgers and pizza by the beach, complemented by great cocktails. The beach stands out with its soft sand, although a few guests have mentioned early reserving of sunbeds.
