Andronis Arcadia

The hotel was built in 1874 and is full of old-world charm. Each of its 320 rooms and suites are beautifully styled, with antique furnishings, chandeliers and traditional tiled floors. With such spectacular views, you’ll want to head up to the rooftop pool and bar. Seeing the Acropolis illuminated at night is a truly spectacular sight so make sure you try one of their signature cocktails and enjoy the sparkling lights of the city. There’s also plenty to draw you inside, including the bright and airy Winter Garden Lounge, an extension of the hotel’s beautiful lobby. The cellar is filled with over 3,000 bottles of wine and it’s well worth enjoying a drink at Alexander’s Bar which features an original 19th-centuty tapestry depicting Alexander the Great entering Gaugamela. For when you need to relax and unwind, make a beeline for the spa and fitness centre, complete with indoor pool.

This seaside resort and spa is a beautiful Mediterranean escape where you can relax beneath the bright Aegean skies and gaze out at inviting blue seascapes. Find yourself surrounded by an oasis of tropical vegetation, banana, and palm trees. Set above the beach, the reception offers uninterrupted views of Chania town, thick bamboo fields and beyond. It’s the perfect place to call home while you explore Chania and its surrounds. The 102 rooms range from lavish villas to well-appointed family bungalows. While away the hours beside the pool or head down to the resort’s private beach. The buildings have been designed to appear woven into their natural surrounds. The charming bungalows, inspired by a traditional Greek village, boast private gardens and have been built around a central gathering agora. The decor has been handcrafted using organic materials and textures reminiscent of those you’ll find in the tropical oasis outside. Domes Zeen Chania offers an array of culinary options inspired by the wealth of flavours, colours and textures of Greece and Crete. Discover creative local and fusion dishes, prepared using freshly-picked ingredients.

Set in the charming, whitewashed village of Naouss on the island of Paros, with the clear blue Aegean sea all around, lies the Cosme hotel.

A short walk from the authentic fishing village of Plaka on Crete’s north east coast, Blue Palace is a large luxury resort with everything you could hope for on a relaxing Grecian break by the sea. A collection of 251 rooms, suites and villas sprawl down the hillside to the private pebble beach, enjoying views out to the historic island of Spinalonga. These range from rooms with balconies to those with private pools, two-roomed set ups ideal for families, and a collection of secluded villas. There are six dining options, including a traditional Greek taverna for relaxed local fair, a smarter Asian restaurant and a steak house, linked by their chefs’ sourcing of the best regional produce. A collection of bars make the most of the views and the Isola Beach Club is a hip setting day and night. The spa has 24 treatment rooms, state of the art facilities and a plethora of treatments available, while the Diving and Water Sports Centre is your hub for activities such as scuba lessons, snorkelling and wake boarding. Cruises aboard the motor yacht or traditional wooden caique are another great way to spend time at sea and young ones are kept more than entertained at the kids club.
