Herodion Hotel
Athens, Greece
Situated in the historic Plaka neighborhood below the Acropolis, the Herodion Hotel is just steps from the Acropolis Museum and a great base for exploring Athens. Rooms are simple and well-appointed and welcoming common spaces both indoors and out add to the comfort of your stay. From the restaurants or from the pool and jacuzzi, guests can enjoy expansive Acropolis views.
Hotel Europa
Olympia, Greece
A short walk from the center of Olympia, the Hotel Europa offers you a convenient base for exploring the sights of the ancient city. The 86 spacious rooms are divided between two buildings and decorated in a classic style, each one offering a balcony or terrace. Outside, the large, inviting swimming pool is surrounded by loungers and umbrellas for relaxing on hot Greek afternoons. Another highlight of the hotel is its outdoor taverna, frequented by locals, where you can enjoy traditional Greek fare under a pergola in a peaceful garden. With a games room and plenty of outdoor space for children to play, the hotel also caters well to families.
Grand Sarai
Nafplio, Greece
The Grand Sarai in the Old Town of Nafplioo originally served as the first Court of the Modern Greek State in the 1830s, and later a police department and private residence. Today it houses 12 airy rooms, two suites, a breakfast room, restaurant, and bar. The rooms offer panoramic views of the Gulf of Argolis, the Old Town, and Palamidi. Their outer window frames and shutters are characteristic of the local traditional architecture. The hotel is situated within a five-minute walk of the historic Syntagma Square, the waterfront overlooking Bourtzi and quaint bars and taverns.
Mykonian Korali
Mykonos, Greece
Perched on the hills above the historic harbour, the Mykonos Korali is an elegant haven minutes away from the cafés of Little Venice, boutiques, tavernas and famously alluring nightlife of Mykonos Town. Its contemporary spaces come alive with international design that lends a air of sophistication to complement gracious hospitality, haute cuisine, and exceptional views.
