Arriving to this after 24 hours of traveling... worth it.

Checking in at Perivolas... one of the best hotel experiences in my life. The service was simply amazing! It was rated as one of the 100 best hotels in the world by Conde Nast Traveler in 2011, 2010 and 2009 and was also featured on their Gold List.
