The Aegeon Beach is situated in a truly spectacular and beautiful location (see photo). The Temple of Poseidon ovelooks the temple and is fantastic to look upto during the day while having breakfast or at night from your room balcony when the 450BC temple ruins is lit up (see photo). We stayed for 2 days in the off season in the Junior Suite wiith 2 kids. The suite was spacious with good decor and a fair sized balcony overlooking the Aegean sea. The Hotel staff were helpful and courteous.
The water is shallow for a good distance and safe for kids to play in. Unlike a resort hotel closeby where you have to cross route 91 road to reach the beach, the Aegeon hotel is on the Beach and it is 40 metres walk from your room directly on the beach which is the way it should be. The views from the beach is great with small sail boats moored around.The facilities on the beach provided by the hotel is fairly good and the beach is clean. Next to the hotel on the beach is a shop which hires water sports equipment and make sure you hire the Pedal boat for 8 Euro an hour and go out on to the sea to enjoy the nice views of the neighbouring area. There are two taverns adjoining the hotel and for variety food you can enjoy decent sea food for lunch or dinner there.
You can walk up to the Temple of Poseidon from the hotel beach (slow walk uphill for 20 minutes). Visit the temple an hour before sunset to enjoy the breathtaking sunset from the temple on the hill (see photo). The breakfast is good but was surprised they did not serve orange juice. The nearest shops for any grocery or other items is 10 minutes by car. If you are in Athens it will be worthwhile hiring a car and driving to the hotel in Sunio as the drive for 50kms is along the Aegean sea coast the scenery is really worth it and relaxing driving on the quite route 91.
Negative Points -
The sea view from the Junior Suite balcony was spoilt by a dining extension area metal roofing which is ugly in front of the spectacular view of the sea. We wondered why the beds were not made up properly when they cleaned the room daily. Be careful while having a shower in the bath as the water will spash out on the floor as there is no proper shower glass or curtain - Bad design. No pool is a disadvantage as the sea water is cold outside July-September for long swims.
