The Four Seasons Astir Palace – just 30 minutes from the historic centre of Athens – was last month voted one of the 50 best hotels in the world, coming in at number 27. And it’s easy to see why. Firstly, the location is drop-dead gorgeous – tucked away at the tip of the pine-clad Vouliagmeni peninsula on the Athens Riviera, the views are stunning. It’s a setting that over the years has attracted the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sophia Loren, Aristotle and Jackie Onassis, Maria Callas and The Beatles.
Open all year round, the resort still draws a glamorous crowd but the vibe is laid-back luxury. There’s a range of accommodation to suit all tastes, with 200 rooms, 42 luxury suites and 61 beachfront bungalows. Each of the three distinct spaces that make up the resort blend Greek elegance with modern comfort, featuring private balconies with sweeping pine grove or Aegean Sea views. Select suites and bungalows offer private infinity pools and direct beach access. The beauty of the Four Seasons Astir Palace is its proximity to both the airport as well as the cultural treasures of Athens such as the Acropolis. You can combine a city and resort stay or base yourself at the resort and nip into the city when you choose.
