Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, Athens

Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens - A Mediterranean beachfront resort with three private beaches, Michelin-starred dining, and a Hippocrates-inspired spa

Set on a 74 acre pine-clad peninsula, this 5-star Athens hotel combines three distinct accommodation settings across its waterfront location. The modernist Arion wing features retro-chic design and houses the Hippocrates-inspired spa, while Nafsika offers sea views from every room with select suites featuring private pools. The historic Bungalows, dating to 1961, retain their original glamour from the era of Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis. Eight restaurants and bars include the Michelin-starred Pelagos restaurant and the beachfront Taverna 37. Three private beaches connect via a 300-meter boardwalk, complemented by two outdoor pools and comprehensive water sports facilities. The property sits 13.5 miles from Monastiraki and 15.5 miles from Eleftherios Venizelos Airport, with the Temple of Poseidon located 31 mile south at Cape Sounio.
