A Greek Odyssey

Above Athens’ busy Ermou Street, Elia Ermou combines soundproofed rooms, marble bathrooms and a rooftop restaurant with direct views of the illuminated Parthenon, alongside a wellness center with a hammam and cryosauna.

Housed in a restored 19th-century mansion in Nafplio’s old town, this hotel has dramatic interiors with crystal chandeliers, dark wood furnishings and high-ceilinged suites, plus a restaurant specializing in Wagyu steaks and Greek wines.

Built into the hills above the Bay of Oitylo, this stone-built Mani retreat features sea-facing terraces, an infinity pool and coastal views, while spacious rooms include wood furnishings, stone accents and large windows that bring in natural light.

Overlooking the Lousios Gorge, this Arcadian guesthouse has exposed stone walls, fireplaces and flower-named rooms, traditional Peloponnesian cooking and terraces facing Dimitsana’s hillside rooftops.
