Michelin Guide "Modern, minimalist hotel on a quiet residential street in an elegant district."
Frommer's "The Periscope is a concept hotel with an unusual concept: surveillance." Full review
Concierge "This contemporary design hotel may be more suited for solitary business travelers than couples on vacation."
Fodor's "This sleek concept hotel combines minimalist urban-chic design, amenity-filled rooms, and exceptional service for a truly relaxing experience." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The periscope mounted on top of this 21-room boutique hotel in elegant Kolonaki means even the ground-floor bar gets an aerial view of Athens (displayed on a TV screen)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Just a 5-minute walk from Kolonaki Square, this smart design hotel opened in 2005. All rooms have wooden floors and minimalist furniture in blacks, greys and whites."
Rough Guide "Designer minimalism on a shopping street in Kolonáki; the name refers to a periscope camera set up on the roof, which guests can control and view the pictures."
Star Service "As much an outpost for hip Athenians as for travelers, this artistic haute-spot has been transformed from relatively banal boarding house...into a trendy magnate." Full review

Afar Magazine "Kolonaki is the affluent neighbourhood of Athens, but it's by no means a stuffy one." Full review

Michelin Guide "Professionally run hotel set within a 75 acre complex on a private peninsula. Extensive facilities include private beaches, a spa and a wide range of water sports."
Frommer's "The Arion offers a more classical aesthetic, and its sea-view rooms are arranged in such a way so that even the bathtubs have prime water views." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This huge complex on a private peninsula jutting out into the Saronic Gulf is a legendary resort... that has had a major makeover in the last few years." Full review

"Set on the Vouliagmeni peninsula, and one of two properties in the Astir Palace Resort complex, it’s "away from the chaos of Athens, but close enough to see the sights"." Full review
Jetsetter "Family-friendly seaside Athenian resort with an Olympic-sized pool, tennis court and spa." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"Greece’s first Four Seasons hotel is a triumphant revival of a modernist landmark, where guests can enjoy a beach holiday, destination spa and city break rolled into one glamorous, authentically Greek experience." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Set the scene. Screened by pine trees and security gates, this 1960s landmark has made a glorious comeback. All glittering blue views and subdued glamour, Greece’s first Four Seasons has..." Full review
New York Times "Opened on a pine-clad peninsula...offering 303 rooms and fine dining with a sea view at its Michelin-starred Pelagos restaurant."

Frommer's "The 74 acres of gardens, with palm and pine trees, are admittedly wonderful...almost all the accommodations have sea views, and there are extensive facilities for tennis, wind surfing, and sailing." Full review
Michelin Guide "The interiors are sedate compared to the Sixties but quite stylish by Four Seasons standards...creature comforts are plentiful — the pools, the spa, the sea-facing cabanas and among its several bars" Full review
