The location of the two Artina hotels is pinpointed by the red marker on this Google aerial image of Marathopoli

The hotel swimming pool and sun terrace. In late May the water was chilly but we saw several guests take a quick dip.

The Artina hotels’ spacious breakfast room. A daily buffet breakfast was included in our room rate.
Sea view from the breakfast room. The hotel has a number of tables outside on the lawn, and that’s where we had our coffee and breakfast each morning.
Our room in the Artina Nuovo
The big bed was super-comfortable and gave us a good night’s rest
This was one of the most comfortable hotel rooms we have stayed in during our many visits to Greece
The room had a sitting area with sofa and coffee table
The sitting area is adjacent to the balcony
Furnishings included a desk and a wall-mounted flat screen television
Our room included a well-equipped kitchenette. We didn’t do any cooking, but we did use utensils, cups, plates and wine glasses. The room also had a small dining table with two chairs.
The WC was fitted with contemporary fixtures, including a shower enclosure boasting an array of adjustable water sprays
One of many great features of our room was its large seaview balcony, where we sat with glasses of wine to watch the sunset each night

The balconies at the Nuovo are almost terrace-sized, and are larger than the balconies on the older Artina hotel. The rooms in the Nuovo apparently are larger as well.
