Great Escapes Greece. The Hotel Book

Mythical places, dream beaches

A journey to Greece's most beautiful hotels.

The art and culture of ancient Greece are the cradle of Western civilisation, and its monuments and museums are still telling that story. But Greece is also unique for its landscapes, the hospitality of its people and its fabulous hotels. Fresh cuisine, crystal-clear seas and picture-perfect sunsets do the rest.

Angelika Taschen travels from the mountains of Macedonia to the Peloponnese — with mythical places like Corinth, Sparta and Olympia — and down to the southern archipelagos. She opens the doors of the Imaret in Kavala, set in a former Ottoman complex; the Tainaron Blue Retreat, in an isolated defensive tower on the Mani peninsula; and The Windmill, a converted mill on the island of Kimolos. She also visits great classics such as the Eagles Palace in Halkidiki and the Poseidonion Grand Hotel in Spetses, along with charming B&Bs like Mèlisses on Andros.

Alongside hotels on well-known islands — the Mystique in Santorini, the Soho Roc House in Mykonos — there are remote properties like the Mediterraneo in Kastellorizo, and architecture- and design-led choices such as The Rou Estate on Corfu, the minimalist Olea All Suite Hotel in Zakynthos and Ammos in Crete, where no two pieces of furniture are alike.

Multilingual edition: the texts in this volume are published in English, French and German in the same book.
