The majority of lodgings are located along

the waterfront. The marina is lined with res-

taurants and tavernas; good options are also

found in the old town.

Hotel Rex HOTEL €€

(%27210 22334; http://www.rexhotel.gr; Aristomenous

26; d/ste incl breakfast from €99/199; aW) The

Rex has a superb central location and will

appeal if you like unapologetically retro de-

cor, a Fawlty Towers–esque attitude from

some staff and a touch of faded grandeur.

The rooms are reasonably modern but the

air-con struggles in the summer heat. The

corner room 403 has good rooftop views.

Hotel Haikos HOTEL €€

(%27210 88902; http://www.haikos.gr; Navarino 115;

s/d €57/75; pW) One of the best choices

along the beachfront is this business-like,

modern hotel, with funky wallpaper, balco-

nies and beachfront parking. Rooms at the

front catch the sea breeze (and street noise).

Breakfast €5.

Street Pasta ITALIAN €

(%27214 01328; Amfias 20; mains €6-11; h2-11pm

Tue-Sun; v) Hip, tiny eatery specialising in

oodles of pasta, with imaginative sauces

alongside good ol’ bolognese and pesto. El-

bow your way in and be prepared for leisure-

ly service if the place is full.

Burgery BurGErS €

(www.theburgery.gr; Navarinou 93; mains €5-8;

h1pm-midnight; W) One of the very, very

few places along the marina that doesn’t do

seafood, the Burgery grills up huge, freshly

made burgers, generously stacked with top-

pings that slither out the sides and ooze all

over your fingers as you try to take a bite.
