This summer, I found myself in the sun-kissed paradise of Greece—a destination that never fails to inspire awe and wonder. July may be peak travel season, but let me tell you, even during this bustling time, Greece managed to surprise me. The hotels, dining, and shopping? Delightfully reasonable and refreshingly accessible. Yes, you’ll encounter crowds (so pack a little patience), but the tourist economy didn’t take advantage of the season with sky-high prices. Instead, Greece delivered on luxury travel experiences without, as the locals say, Πληρώνω τα μαλλιά της κεφαλής μου—which loosely translates to “paying an arm and a leg” in English!
What truly impressed me was how effortlessly affordable it was to enjoy Greece in all its splendor. Luxury doesn’t always have to mean extravagant prices—just smart choices. Here are five handpicked hotels from my travels, each offering a unique flavor of Greece. Find your perfect match and start planning your 2025 adventure today with Andare’ Luxury Travel.
The NEW Hotel Athens
Art, Comfort & Culture in the Heart of Athens
Our home base in Athens was the iconic NEW Hotel, nestled in the historic Plaka neighborhood. If you’re someone who loves to be at the heart of culture and history, this ultra-luxe spot ticks all the boxes. The Acropolis? Practically your neighbor. Dining? Steps away. And let’s not forget the rooftop bar—where sipping cocktails with a front-row view of the Acropolis illuminated at night was pure magic.
The hotel’s eclectic design, attentive service, and blissfully air-conditioned rooms made it a perfect retreat after days spent exploring the city. If you dream of a seamless blend of art, culture, and comfort, this is the place for you.
Porto Zante Villas & Spa
Your Private Island Escape
Dreaming of a hideaway where it’s just you, the sea, and endless zen vibes? Zakynthos’ Porto Zante Villas & Spa offers exactly that. Here, you’ll have your own private beach (yes, really!), surrounded by peace and tranquility, with just the waves for company.
Feeling adventurous? Charter a private speedboat to Navagio Beach to see the famous shipwreck, or sail over to Marathonisi Island to swim with the endangered Caretta turtles. Or, simply unwind at the lavish spa, where stress melts away faster than you can say, “Ahhh…” It’s no wonder this secluded retreat is a favorite among those who need to disconnect in style.
