From the moment we stepped foot inside we quickly switched into holiday. The atmosphere is sophisticated but not formal, it attracts a variety of people from couples to families, all get something from their stay.

Our room was stunning, perfectly captured the essence of the brand, with floor to ceiling windows of sea views .  The spacious balcony quickly became our favourite spot, offering the perfect setting to enjoy a glass of wine as the sun dipped and watching the infamous Greek sunsets. The rooms are perfect blend of " Greek elegance with modern comfort, featuring private balconies with sweeping pine grove or Aegean Sea views.

One of the greatest luxuries of staying here is having access to several private beaches. We spent the afternoon moving between the beach and the beautifully designed infinity pools, Despite the resort's popularity, it never felt crowded. There was always a quiet spot to be found.

Dining is another highlight. The Four Seasons has nine exceptional restaurants, each offering a distinct culinary experience. Fresh seafood, locally sourced ingredients and contemporary Mediterranean flavours dominate the menus, celebrating the very best of Greek cuisine with international flair. Breakfast the following morning was equally memorable, with an impressive spread of seasonal fruit, freshly baked pastries, made-to-order eggs and authentic Greek specialities enjoyed against the backdrop of the spectacular coastline.

The resort's world-class spa deserves special mention. Inspired by ancient healing traditions, it offers an extensive menu of treatments designed to restore both body and mind. Even if time only allows for a visit to the relaxation facilities, the peaceful surroundings and calming atmosphere provide a welcome escape from everyday life.
