Sweet treats are never far away thanks to the creperie and ice cream station, a favorite among both kids and adults.

The resort also offers an impressive selection of bars and lounges, including an all-day bar, a wine bar with a curated list of labels, a beach bar, a pool bar, and a “Secret Bar” reserved exclusively for guests staying in superior suites and villas, where drinks and snacks are served directly to the sunbeds.

Mitsis Rinela is particularly popular with families thanks to its fantastic kids’ facilities, which include a mini club, two freshwater children’s pools, two water slides, and plenty of daily activities. Each evening, young guests can dance and have fun at the lively mini disco, while adults can take part in sports and wellness activities, from beach volleyball to yoga and aqua gym sessions by the sea.
