A few steps from the temples, the Helios has cottage-type rooms in a garden setting surrounded by olive trees. Seven rooms have their own whirlpool baths. A pleasant restaurant ($) serves local specialties. The ricotta and mozzarella made on the premises are especially good. The hotel also organizes visits to a local mozzarella producer and excursions on horseback. Pros: Cottages surrounded by pretty gardens, very close to archaeological site, good value. Cons: Skimpy facilities in rooms.
