Great family hotel
From arrival we had a fantastic time. Vasillis was very helpful to the point where he gave us directions to a village in the hills for some cracking food.
All the staff are friendly and helpful, Aggi on reception, Asteris the main barman, Max the head of entertainment and George the restaraunt manager all work hard and are really helpful. We do not consider them staff anymore, they are friends. The room was spacious and kept clean with good aircon and modern bathroom. The food was excellent, it was repeated after one week but there is so much choice you can have something different every meal. Drinks are really good, lager is nice, wine is good and a fair choice of cocktails.
Kolymbia is not Falaraki so don't expect bouncing nightclubs.
This is our second time at this hotel and will be going back again. Would like to finizsh with a big thank you to Vasilli for arranging everything, making us feel so welcome and for promising to keep an eye on my daughter when she comes out with her boyfriend next year.
Thank you Marathon Hotel.

Second Visit, Same Magic — We’ll Be Back!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A hotel that feels like coming home – we’ll be back!
Where do I even start? We’ve just had our second stay at the Marathon Hotel, and if anything, we loved it even more this time.
The hotel itself is excellent, but what truly makes the Marathon special is the people. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed and genuinely friendly from the moment you arrive.
And a special mention has to go to Aggi on reception. Her cheerful smile is one of the first things you see when you arrive and, every morning, she is there with the same warm welcome and attention to detail. She somehow manages to make everyone feel noticed and looked after. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her, and that genuine friendliness really sets the tone for the welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel. ❤️
Vasilli, the manager, deserves a special mention. He is everywhere — always keeping an eye on things, checking that guests are happy, and taking the time to stop for a chat. You can see how much he cares about the hotel and the people staying there.
George and his restaurant team work incredibly hard and are always welcoming and friendly. The food was consistently enjoyable, and there is plenty of choice. We loved the pizza during the day and the gyros around the pool in the evening. There’s also coffee and cake at teatime and an early coffee and breakfast option for those who are up before everyone else.
Asteris and the bar team are fantastic too — friendly, good fun and always happy to have a chat.
And then there’s Max and the animation team! They do such a brilliant job of keeping the atmosphere lively and fun without ever making you feel pressured to join in. There’s always something going on, and they really add to the holiday atmosphere.
Honestly, nothing seems too much trouble for any of the staff.
And perhaps that is the biggest compliment we can give the Marathon. After two visits, the staff no longer feel like hotel staff — they feel like friends we’ve made on holiday. That’s what makes leaving so difficult. We genuinely will miss them.
The hotel is also in a great location. It’s an easy walk to the beach, there are good bus connections, and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants nearby if you fancy a change of scenery. But with food, drinks and such a great atmosphere at the hotel, you really don’t need to go anywhere!
Our room was spotless, cleaners come every day, and the grounds and pool areas are beautifully maintained. Everything feels well cared for.
We’ve stayed in plenty of hotels over the years, but there is something genuinely special about the Marathon and its staff. It’s not just somewhere you stay — it’s somewhere you feel welcome.
A huge thank you to Vasilli and every single member of the Marathon team for giving us another fantastic holiday. We’ve loved every minute and we’re already talking about coming back for visit number three! ❤️
Highly, highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
