Elounda Mare Hotel
Hotel and restaurant on the seafront (Elounda) On the native island of Zeus, the King of the Greek gods, sits the Elounda Mare Hotel, with its white cottages that look out onto the turquoise waters of the Mirabello Bay. An ethereal light bathes this retreat and its maze of sweet-smelling gardens. The spacious and intimate bedrooms, the bungalows, all different but all with a private pool, enjoy magnificent panoramic views over the Mediterranean. The private beach, the tennis courts, the nearby spa and the golf course offer plenty to fill your days. The hotel’s location is the perfect place from which to discover Crete and its legends, monasteries and chapels bequeathed by the Byzantine civilization. There is even a chapel overlooking the hotel’s private bay.
Zannos Melathron
Hotel and restaurant in a village (Santorini) It is a pleasure to wander through the labyrinth of alleys in the authentic little village of Pyrgos, where, between the whitewashed houses, your gaze will plunge down to the turquoise waters below. Crossing the threshold of Zannos Melathron is like walking into a delightful dream. Standing with its back to the rock face, this house used to belong to a local ship owner and is a maze of vaulted rooms and romantic alcoves, with high ceilings and mellow lighting. Head for the outdoor terrace to wine and dine while gazing into the eyes of your loved one or at the blue sea all around you, for this is the highest hotel on the island and there is a 360 degree view. In the evening, the flickering candle light mingles with the twinkling lights of the town far below.
