Greece
Greece and its constellation of paradise islands is one of the top destinations for the summer. The musky scent of oregano and sage carried on the breeze. The faint jangle of goat bells. The distant throb of an outboard engine, slipping over the horizon. Moonlight over marble. These are the flavors, smells and sounds of Greece: a land of plenty, simplicity, and infinite variety.
Mykonos
The whitewashed island of Mykonos, located in the heart of the Cyclades, provides you with glamour, luxury and plenty of parties for those who want them. With its marble streets, flowering bougainvillea trees and tucked-away churches, it’s a paradise for anyone looking to unwind in the baking Greek sunshine.
Preferred Accommodations
Santa Marina
Low-slung whitewashed bungalows built into the hills above a secluded beach. The accommodations feature an organic, modern style and light tones with natural island accents of wood and raffia, enhanced by brilliant blue views of the Aegean Sea. The resort also boats its own private beach area, a rarity in Mykonos.
Belvedere Hotel
Stone walls surround this luxury hotel atop Rodari hill. The mostly white rooms in the 1850 mansion, one of the oldest in the area, echo the white townscape below. The rooms and suites have a touch of warmth and color with walnut closets and teal accents. The resort is also known for its outdoor Japanese restaurant Matsuhisa Mykonos, from world-renowned chef Nobu.

Preferred Accommodations
Canaves OIa Suites
On Santorini’s northern tip, near the tranquil village church, Canaves Oia Suites is a whitewashed hideaway just steps from Oia’s lively boutique-lined streets. There's a chilled-out swim-up bar, a small infinity pool and a relaxed restaurant.
Mystique
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 may just be the most perfect place in the word. The sixteen suites and two villas within the hotel range over varying degrees of spaciousness, all of them much more than adequate — and the terraced construction, tumbling down the hillside, means there’s not a sub-standard view in the house.
Athens
Athens was the birthplace of democracy, theater, and Western civilization, and the city's cultural richness and history is evident in its architecture. Travel to Athens is a must for history and archeology buffs, but the city's hillsides and picturesque vistas will be equally appreciated by nature lovers.
Preferred Accommodations
Hotel Grande Bretagne
The Hotel Grande Bretagne is a bit of a departure for a Greek luxury hotel: rather than some sprawling compound out on a rock by the Aegean, this one is a Victorian mansion right in the bustling heart of Athens. he rooms are palatial, elegant, yet tastefully pared down to avoid antique overload. Some have balconies overlooking no less a landmark than the Acropolis.
King George
Located in the center of Athens since 1930, King George represents the absolute essence of a fascinating boutique hotel. The hotel features 102 rooms and suites and incomparable views of the Parthenon.
