My lists

Aigialos

Aigialos is open annually from May 1 - Oct 31. Santorini is a place that doesn’t need much introduction — the question is simply which blinding white cliffside villa you’ll choose as your home base for your time overlooking the deep blue waters of the Aegean. Among the classics ...

Astarte Suites

Astarte Suites is closed November - March 2008. Children under 13 years of age are not permitted at the hotel. Sometimes it really does all come down to location. Trends in travel come and go, but Greece’s volcanic islands have been a hot destination for just about as lon...

Blue Palace Resort & Spa

Please note: Blue Palace Resort & Spa is closed for the winter season and will reopen again April 22, 2010. Greece used to be known as a bargain holiday spot, a fact that may seem astonishing, given its almost unbearable natural beauty. Today Greece is home to some of Europe's...

Chromata

High above the sea, at the highest point of Santorini’s volcanic caldera, Chromata would be remarkable enough for the view alone. In fact some of Santorini’s hotels stop with the view, perhaps reasoning that any attempts at arresting interior design would be overshadowed by the natura...

Fresh Hotel

Just when we were beginning to worry that “design” had become a synonym for “monochrome,” along comes a place like Athens’ Fresh Hotel, a place that’s bursting with color. And by color we don’t mean muted earth tones, or burgundy and brown leather—think, instead, of a palette that’s not found in ...

Hotel Katikies

Please note: Hotel Katikies does not accommodate children under 13 years of age. On Santorini, the view’s the thing, and there may be none better than that from the pool deck at Katikies, looking out over the island’s submerged volcanic caldera and the sea beyond. This hotel is a...

Mystique Hotel

For sublime views there really aren’t many places in the world that can top Santorini. So a luxury hotel perched on a cliffside overlooking that famous caldera has already got a pretty substantial leg up on competitors just about anywhere else. Of course that doesn’t mean the job stops there — as...

On The Rocks

There’s no metaphor here. On the Rocks is literally on the rocks. Like the rest of the tiny village of Imerovigli, this elegant hotel balances atop the cliffs that overlook the famous caldera of Santorini. The only danger is in trying to decide when to move the umbrella shielding your deck chair ...

Baby Grand Hotel

Hotel designers far and wide strive for interiors that are hip and eclectic, but these days a few zebra-print pillows and some potted bamboo in a minimalist setting hardly qualify as edgy. Enter the Baby Grand, an Athens hotel that’s delightfully avant-garde, splashed with colorful artworks, and,...

Periscope

There’s a lot more to Greece than just fine beach weather and whitewashed waterfront villas. One might expect that the birthplace of Western civilization would remain a forward-thinking, cosmopolitan city, and one would be right. Signs of sophistication are everywhere: restaurants, shops, galleri...

Semiramis Hotel

One look and it’s obvious that Semiramis is a radical departure from the norm: bold swathes of day-glo color set it immediately apart from the icy cool of most modern boutique hotels, not to mention the monochrome white of the typical Greek luxury hotel. Puzzling, unless you happen to follo...

The Tsitouras Collection

Please note: The Tsitouras Collection is open from March 10th through October 31st. Stunning sunset views, check. Whitewashed walls and complimentary cocktails, check. What distinguishes Tsitouras Collection from the various other high-end lodgings on Santorini is the hotel’s str...

Vedema Resort

Please note: Vedema Resort is closed for the winter season and will reopen May 1, 2010. Some don’t bother with Santorini unless they’ve got a front-row cliffside view of the caldera — but visit in high season and you’ll soon find you’re very far from alone. There are alternatives...

Spirit of the Knights

Spirit of the Knights is an exclusive Eco Friendly Boutique Hotel set in the medieval old town of Rhodes.
