Grecotel Egnatia Location and Grounds

The Grecotel Astir Egnatia occupies a 430600 ft² property that includes gardens, two outdoor pools, a private beach area, and a sun terrace with a pool bar. The outdoor pools operate seasonally from mid-April through October; the indoor pool and spa are open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM. The sea in front of the hotel is shallow and calm, with a sandy bottom that extends about 200 ft from the shore. Just past the property's main gate, a walkway follows the coastline into Alexandroupolis - about 0.5 miles to the lighthouse, the port, and a row of seaside restaurants. The city's archaeological museum of Alexandroupolis is 2 miles away. The hotel's front desk organizes half-day excursions to the Evros Delta's observation hides, where herons and flamingos are commonly sighted. The Dadia Forest Reserve, known for its population of black vultures, has two marked hiking trails that start at the visitor center. Car rental can be arranged directly at the hotel. Free onsite parking is provided for 80 vehicles, along with eight electric-vehicle charging stations.
