Four Seasons is one of the most luxurious hotel brands in the world, and it is natural to ask the question, is there a Four Seasons in Greece on the Islands of Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Santorini, or Mykonos? Surely there must be a Four Seasons on the Greek Islands? If there were, it would surely be one of the best Four Seasons in Europe?
The good news is that there is a Four Seasons in Greece. This beachfront hotel is wonderful but is located on the edge of Athens. The Four Seasons Astir Palace Athens offers the best of both worlds: a laid-back seaside escape just 30 minutes from the historical city center. Discover the wonders of ancient civilization at the Acropolis, then return to Four Seasons to unwind and relax.
Located in the former legendary Astir Palace, a convenient 30 minutes from the airport, this 1960s landmark is an iconic destination that has welcomed VIPs, from foreign leaders to film stars. The secluded private beach inside the complex was the beach where Brigitte Bardot famously posed for photographers in her pink bikini in 1969.
Review: Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens
Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens is the best luxury resort hotel in Athens. It is on the coast rather than in the center of the city but offers an outstanding base from which to explore both. Athens' eclectic and dynamic nature stretches from the city’s center to its sun-kissed coastline and Blue Flag beaches. Amid the surroundings of nature and the deep blue sea, visitors can experience an entirely different pace along the Athenian Riviera. The dramatic Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens is pictured above.
Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens offers three private beaches strung together by a thousand-foot (300 meters) boardwalk, three pools (free-form family pool, sleek infinity pool, and indoor lap pool), five tennis courts, myriad watersports from windsurfing to sea kayaking plus a sunset sail every evening, an onsite basketball court and a golf club just steps away, extensive trails for jogging and walking, a fully-supervised complimentary Kids for All Seasons program housed in its own facility, boat access, and even a helipad – in the words of Hotel Manager Panagiotis Sopiadis, “need we say more?”.
Wherever you are in the world, Four Seasons hotels are consistently one of the best hotels in that city or resort. Because there isn’t a Four Seasons rewards program, you will never be able to book a free stay by racking up and redeeming points, or by collecting points on your credit card and spending them on a Four Seasons hotel stay. It can’t be done. But you can get discounts at Four Seasons hotels and loyalty style benefits at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.

Where Should I Stay?
For now, just head to the Four Seasons Athens or try one of the other incredible luxury hotels on the Greek Islands.
Our top picks include the Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Crete. Escape to the wild beauty and unrivaled island style of a bohemian luxe hotel on a private beach with incomparable views and crystal waters. The 251 luxuriously appointed guestrooms, suites, and private villas (142 of which boast private pools); the inspired cuisine; the award-winning Elounda Spa & Thalassotherapy; premier facilities; and unbeatable service set this idyllic resort apart.
