Athens, Greece

One&Only Aesthesis

In Glyfada, Athens’ coastal forest meets the beach, and the bungalows date back to the early days of the Athenian Riviera, retaining their original fireplaces and outdoor showers. The Thimisi bar, facing the setting sun, was designed in memory of Maria Callas and Jackie Onassis, whilst the Alelia bar is centred around an olive tree, serving cocktails made with olives and herbs from the garden. Try the ‘Archaeologist for a Day’ programme, for the chance to get hands-on with late Roman excavations. At Ora, Ettore Botrini, a Michelin-starred chef of Greek and Italian heritage, oversees the hotel’s Mediterranean cuisine.
