Our full take on Ikos Olivia

The Ikos that put Halkidiki on the map, seven à la carte restaurants, a 300m private beach, and the upgraded Deluxe Collection suites. It's the more grown-up, gardens-and-greenery side of the Ikos family, though still family-capable. A safe bet for refined Greek all-inclusive. Best May through September.
