Mystique on Santorini...
 
Wanting to know if anyone has experience with this hotel. Hear that the steps are pretty challenging. I have a bit of a knee problem and was wondering whether or not it would be a deal breaker for the hotel. Also wondering about the size of their main pool as I like to swim laps for exercise. Any help would be appreciated.

It's been a few years but I do remember just how challenging the steps were and how small the pool was. Your knees will not enjoy the climb up and down. I also remember just how bland and neutral the interiors were, all beige and white with not a lot of "pops" of color. That said, there was an excellent restaurant on site with a fantastic international wine list.

Most of the pools are small because of lack of outdoor space. There is, however, a large public access pool in Oia where you can swim laps. It's free as long as you buy food and/or drinks. It's also a great place to sit with a glass of wine at sunset. Lioyerma Lounge Pool Bar - Enjoy the unique sunset in the world!

Thanks for your helpful and quick response. Guess I should find out how long the pool is at Mystique.

It's quite small, nothing but a plunge pool. Three strokes per lap! https://tinyurl.com/y9bb7xgd
