Iliessa Beach Hotel

Argassi seafront four star on a coast that still allows dogs

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 63-room seafront hotel at Argassi run under the Hotelbrain management group, 550 metres from the old Argassi stone bridge and about ten minutes from Zakynthos town. It's a plain, well-placed beach hotel rather than a design property, and it earns its place here because Argassi is on the short list of Zakynthos beaches where dogs are still legally allowed on the sand. Dogs are accepted, on terms that have to be agreed at booking.

Why it's in the collection

You can walk straight off the terrace onto sand that a dog is actually allowed on, which is a short list on this island, and the shoreline east towards Vassilikos gives you a flat kilometre before breakfast.

Argassi beach isn't a Blue Flag beach, so the unorganised stretches are open to dogs on a lead. Where a sunbed operator runs a section, the answer there is whatever that operator's sign says.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
