Plaza Resort Hotel ★★★★★

Although this 5-star retreat is less than an hour’s drive south of the bustling capital of Athens, it feels like it could be in a world of its own. The very definition of exclusivity, as soon as you walk onto its grounds you are swept up in a haze of tranquility where nothing else seems to exist. Set in lush gardens and surrounded by rolling hills with nothing but the vibrant blue of sea and sky to catch your eye, you’ll feel completely content in this secluded cocoon.

Palm trees line the sparkling springwater swimming pool, with comfortable loungers simply beckoning for hours spent gazing happily out to sea. In fact, from wherever you are that sea view follows you like a watercolour backdrop that doesn’t quite seem real. Whether enjoying a gourmet lunch of fresh Greek cuisine at the outdoor restaurant or sinking into the warm golden sands of the private beach, you have plenty of vantage points to choose from. And of course, in your Exclusive Sea View room that boasts its own private balcony you can make the most of this dazzling vista from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep.

Elsewhere on the resort, you and your family can indulge various holiday desires. Watersports and tennis courts keep the active occupied while the spa, which uses ancient Greek herbs and treatments, promises a harmonious and rejuvenating experience. Take a moment to live as the Greeks do and indulge in all of life’s pleasures, from the luxurious to the simple, here at the Plaza Resort Hotel ****.
