Very good food, big variety, lots of choices of cold and hot dishes, some prepared in presence of guests. Selection varies slightly over the days with approx 60-70% repeatable day to day. Well seasoned and mostly well cooked, with some exceptions. Lots of seafood and usually 3 meat types to choose. Occasionaly a lobster spaghetti, gyros every second day, baklava every third.
The weak spots are the quite often noticeable sewerage smell coming from outside and the understaffed table service. The staff is busy like bees in a hive but they are simply too few to handle all traffic in high season, which results in long searches for a ready table and noticable wait time on placed orders.
Restaurant Athena is the Kalithea Horizon Royal resort’s main place to eat, offering a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet every day. The food is generally of great quality during each time of the day, with enough variety for most diets such as vegetarians. It offers a great view on the ocean with plenty of space to sit down and enjoy a cool drink from the in-house Helios cocktail bar. The staff is fast and works very hard, similar to Kalithea Hotels’ sister restaurant Thalassa. The difference in our experience, apart from the separate bar that Athena offers due to it being available only to all-inclusive guests, is that the staff at Athena treats German guests with priority. Drink orders get resolved quicker, tables cleaned faster and they address people in German by default. As soon as they realise you’re not German, they seem to treat you with less urgency and even enthusiasm, which is a shame because they all work very hard and do their best to satisfy the customers as best they can. Other than that, the diverse food offerings do not differ much over the course of several days, although some dishes do get switched out to provide some variety. This is why Thalassa is the restaurant we preferred in the end. All in all, Athena offers a solid, if very busy at rush hours, breakfast, lunch and dining experience where nearly everyone will find something they will enjoy. The breakfast takes the cake for us, and we can only recommend experiencing the view and the food for yourself.
