Facilities

Swimming Pool

There are 2 swimming pools in Glyfada Beach. One pool is located on the hill near the tennis court. The second swimming pool and Jacuzzi is located near to the beach and our Greek taverna. From both our pools there are spectacular views of the Ionian See towards the Greek mainland and Corfu.

Both pools have a good mixture of sea and salt water, which is constantly refreshed with a state of the art filtering system. There is also a pool bar at the pool near to the beach with soft drinks, spirits, ice creams and coffee. During high season there are often organised volleyball games for children. At times during the day both pools are mostly quiet, perfect for some relaxation and sunbathing on the comfortable sun loungers.

There is strictly no diving in both pools for your own safety. The deep end is 180 cm (just less than 6ft) and the shallow end is 90cm, ideal for children.

The Tennis Court

The tennis court is situated near the main entrance of Glyfada near the reception and pool.

It is a hard court which is surrounded by traditional stone walls and cypress trees which offer plenty of shade in late afternoon.

If you are a very keen player, you are advised to bring your own rackets and balls because number are limited. All sessions need to be pre-booked at the reception or with the manager in Glyfada. Please ask at reception for prices.

Greek Taverna

Glyfada has it’s own Taverna close to the sea with a bar and a large terrace with a beautiful sea view. Breakfast is served from 8.30am and lunch from 1pm (both are included in the accommodation price). All the food is freshly prepared in the traditional way with the finest local ingredients. There is also a choice of vegetarian dishes, children’s food and a variety of salads, including our very own Glyfada salad.

Museum 

The small Museum in Glyfada is very interesting as it presents a variety of artefacts found on Paxos. For example, there are oil lamps and old tools used for collecting olives (a speciality on Paxos). The musem can be found on the left, as you walk up the hill with the villas on your right. We recommend paying a visit because it provides a good insight into how people lived in the early days on Paxos.
