Athena's subdued style features tasteful timber finishes and a classy ambience. The beds are marshmallowy delights, and dimming inlaid ceiling lights let you illuminate them in many ways. The cosy pool is most welcome after a day out on dusty roads and there's an upmarket thatch-roofed sala for relaxing (or photo ops). It's about a 10-minute walk from the tourist centre.
