Hotel Acropole

Delphi


On the quiet street that runs parallel to and just below the main drag, the Acropole has decent, spacious rooms with wooden and wrought-iron fittings. Most rooms are at the back; the higher you go, the better the uninterrupted views down to the gulf and over the hiking path that sets off downhill to ancient Kirra from nearby.
