Why it's on the list
The Atlantica Kalliston Resort offers a variety of swimming experiences. Guests can enjoy the main outdoor pool, which is adults-only and offers sea views. Additionally, there are suites with private pools and swim-up rooms for direct access to shared pools. The hotel also features an indoor pool and a hydro plunge pool in some suites.
Why it's not higher
While there are multiple pools, no evidence confirms if any are heated or open year-round. There is also a mention of sunbed reservation rules at the main pool not being enforced, suggesting potential overcrowding during busy periods.
