Frozen coffees, cold drinks, lovely cocktails and delicious club sandwiches are served. Where should we sit, at the bars or at the wooden tables around the pool? I can’t help noticing that the wooden stripes of the chairs are the same as the ones of the trellis that provides shadow while permitting air circulation.
Everything is lovely here and the “holiday spirit” peaks. You will not know what to choose: swimming in the sea, sunbathing on the sandy beach, swimming in the pool of Copla or relax in the Jacuzzi? You can start from the sea and return to Copla later when the afternoon parties with the shots begin.
The owners wanted to create a building in perfect harmony with the natural environment that would reflect memories from their childhood when people would go to the beach to pick the "copla", woods brought to shore from the sea.
"Wood is a corruptible material. It brings in mind wooden huts, wooden ships of a past era. Copla lies on the beach as a sensitive surface of wooden “breathing” extension of those memories." - (source: akkm.gr )
