Greece
Greece delivers hotel experiences that are impossible to find anywhere else. Santorini's caldera-edge suites with infinity pools overlooking the Aegean have become icons of luxury travel. Mykonos blends cosmopolitan energy with whitewashed boutique charm. Crete — the largest island — offers everything from beach resorts to mountain retreats and restored Venetian mansions in Chania. Athens has undergone a hotel renaissance, with rooftop-pool properties overlooking the Acropolis and converted neoclassical mansions in Plaka. The Peloponnese, Corfu, and lesser-known islands like Paros and Naxos provide quieter luxury for those who venture beyond the famous destinations. Greek hospitality (philoxenia) makes every stay feel personal.
