Why it made the list
The pool
Blue mosaic in a chequerboard pattern covers the floor of Ellinon Thea's indoor pool, with a dolphin picked out in tiles and gently curving steps down into the shallow end. White curtains soften the walls, loungers line the edge, and a separate plunge pool sits alongside. It's right in Arachova village, open all year and free to use.
All ages are welcome and towels are provided, so it suits a family weekend as easily as a quiet swim for two; opening times apply. There's a wellness area too, and afterwards the lounge, with armchairs facing the mountains, is an easy place to wind down. The hotel heats the water to 29°C, which suits a winter stay.
Checked against the property's official facilities on 3 Oct 2026. We re-check monthly.
Air: meteo.gr station Arachova (1,069 m), mean daily max 2019-2020 (rounded). Pool water: stated by the property.
The stay
Ellinon Thea is in Arachova village itself, with suites and rooms that pair wooden floors with stone features. Every unit opens to a balcony and has air conditioning and a minibar, and some come with a fireplace. Breakfast is built around homemade products, and there's a bar and a communal lounge.
Delphi's archaeological site is 11 km away and Parnassos Ski Centre 17 km, so you drive to the slopes rather than step onto them. Ski storage is on site.
Worth knowing: parking details are mixed, so confirm with the hotel before you drive up. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 22:30, and pets stay at no extra charge.
Good to know
