Artistic Environment
Both inside and outside, guests will find art, crafted mostly by Konstantinos Liatakis, one of the three siblings that opened Aris Art Hotel back in 1988, and other local artists. The walls are inspired by the Greek sea, sky, and nature. Bespoke, hand-crafted wooden headboards were made by the family's artist, Kostas. The hotel has a vinyl records corner where one may enjoy music, exchange opinions, and make suggestions. Lush gardens feature tropical flowers and local flora. A ground floor terrace provides a colorful, shaded sitting area with art installations.
Relaxation and Exploration
Guests can enjoy massage and healing therapies in the garden or on the roof terrace, depending on the winds. The chill out roof terrace includes hummocks and a lounge area.
