Time travel in Athens

Marvel at the UNESCO-listed citadel of the Acropolis, perched on a rocky outcrop, sheltering several historical structures. Here you’ll see the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, Odeon of Pericles, and the Theatre of Dionysus. Within the ancient quarters of the city, stroll along medieval lanes, go on an eerie catacomb tour, or explore other historical attractions like the Roman Forum and Ancient Agora. When you’re done for the day, enjoy stunning views of the romantic Athens skyline from a heritage five star luxury hotel room decked out with an impressive blend of traditional Greek and modern comforts.

Cliff-top towns, picturesque fishing hamlets, and characteristic blue-domed churches are characteristic of this Greek island. Spend a dream holiday here in an ideally-located Greek 5 star hotel, high atop a cliff in Santorini, overlooking the Aegean Sea. Romantic sunsets over Oia, chic bars, cobblestoned streets lined with white sugar cube homes, and the bustling shopping district of Fira—these features have earned the island its popularity amongst honeymooners and couples.

The suspended cliffs of Meteora

Visit Meteora to see spectacular cliffs rising 365m and which appear suspended in the air. Perched on these cliffs are UNESCO listed historic monasteries, dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries. From atop, enjoy spectacular views of Kalambaka and Kastraki villages. A stay in a luxury hotel built on the highest point of Kastraki is recommended for an incredible visit. Stunning views of the Meteora Rocks greet onlookers from every corner.
