The Four Seasons Astir Palace is a must see property less than a half an hour from Athens airport. Set on the ocean with beautiful yachts moored in view, with outstanding dining options and fantastic chaises and cabanas to soak up the sun, this property and its staff impresses at every turn! While it is not inexpensive, you absolutely get what you pay for here. SPECTACULAR!

City retreat
Beautiful resort based hotel 15 minutes drive from the centre of Athens. We were a couple traveling and found the Arion building / bungalows much more suited to our needs - close to the adult-only infinitely pool and seaside deck beds, all rooms with endless views across the ocean, a bar with a large terrace the perfect place to watch the sunset and multiple restaurants across the site.

had reservations in the hotel's resturant - Beefbar. while we are sitting and having quiet dinner, the waiter who so an arab family enters shuted "free palestine" which made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe. we are sure he knows nothing about the situation and it made us feel unwanted. of course said it to the hotel managment - which said they will be in touch with us but no one adressed us after this event. we would not go back to this property, as beautiful as it is. no politics supposed to be, we are guests as much as they are.
