Greece is one of those rare places where ancient history is still very much a part of modern life. Visitors are as much drawn to the country’s epic intellectual history as its beauty and charm. Make time for the iconic features of the Acropolis of Athens, which include the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Mythology buffs will appreciate Crete, Olympia, Samos, and Naxos for their mythological significance. For a peaceful beach vacation, the island of Santorini is perfect.

The quality renowned Atrium Palace Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas is the ideal destination for marvelous vacations and relaxing holidays. This architecturally innovative hotel combines luxury with its delightful blend of Greek Classical styles and ambiance meters from the crystal clear beach. The hotel is situated in the tranquil bay of Kalathos, close to the picturesque village of Lindos, on the Southeast area of Rhodes Island. Its unique beauties of nature and cultural heritage characterize it as the most intriguing region of the island.
This is our first time visiting Rhodes and we really wanted it to be a special, memorable experience as so many holiday makers would after a couple of years being unable to go abroad. We do use Trip Advisor as a guide when booking holidays and hotels, this occasion was no exception. Atrium Palace already has almost 5000, 5 star reviews - almost too good to be true but ratings like that, shouldn't dismissed and we're so glad we bit the bullet and booked our holiday here. This is another 5 star review and also the first I've ever written for a holiday. The hotel complex is stunning. The buildings are immaculate. Grandeur is definitely the vibe they are going for and they have completely nailed it. The grounds are beautiful - so much greener than we expected. A tremendous selection of trees, shrubs and flowers are planted in every available space and add to the the wow factor of the complex. Both the buildings and grounds are cared for to the highest standards. Staff are continually, yet unobtrusively, going about their business making sure the surroundings are kept in pristine condition. The food is wonderful too - there are several restaurants on site to choose from. The main restaurant is buffet style but the selection of food ensures that there is something for everyone. The quality of the food is exceptional and as you would expect, the fresh fruit and vegetables are full of flavour - I'm sure that has something to do with the 300 days of sunshine Rhodes is gifted with each year. We have a garden view room (439) which also, and was a surprise to us, has a small pool just outside the patio doors. This is not a swim up room, which are also available, therefore was completely unexpected so another little bonus for us. Our room has been kept immaculate throughout our stay - the house keepers work tirelessly and always greet guests with a smile. It is so hard to pick out individual staff, there are so many who have made our stay special and all the more enjoyable however, the few who we seem to touch base with most days and have been particularly attentive and welcoming are Rena, Mariana and Francesca.... no doubt, by the end of our stay, we'll have learned a few more names and need to add to our list and edit the review. Of course, there are so many behind the scenes, the chefs and groundsmen & women who we can't name unfortunately but their contribution to the overall impact of this hotel's stature cannot be overlooked. This truly exceptional facility would not receive such ratings if the entire team were not working so hard behind the scenes and ensuring the high standards are maintained across the board. I'm sure the management are already aware of this but hope this review reinforces that fact. Thank you to all the staff and management - we will be back to finish our site seeing of the island because one week, simply isn't enough.

The most beautiful hotel, such a big property but so well maintained. Gardens and walkways are beautiful. Plenty of pools, lovely beach. Traditional in style but not at all dated. The food, even in the buffet restaurants is ridiculously good quality with so much variety. Even snacks at the water park are outstanding. Cocktails are good quality and they don’t hold back on the spirits! Loads for kids to do. A short walk takes you to some nice beach bars if you fancy a walk out (one with a small kids area, perfect for us). I just can’t compliment this hotel and how it is run enough! Would love to return one day.

Mitsis Laguna Resort & Spa lies on the beach of Anissaras in the area of Hersonissos in Crete. It is a majestic and luxurious five-star hotel with a state of the art Wellness Spa that provides premium service. Guest accommodation in this five-star resort includes 351 luxurious rooms, consisting of 180 bungalows (34 of which shape a small island, surrounded by a lake and the rest are family bungalows), 90 beautiful sea view and garden view rooms, 79 superior rooms in the main building, and 2 presidential suites with a private pool for each. A number of infrastructures and facilities such as meeting rooms, tennis courts, beach volley, mini soccer court, gym, 3 seawater swimming pools, a kid’s pool, water slides etc. make the hotel an entertainment paradise for guests of all ages. The hotel places great importance on high quality gastronomy, as guests can try various gastronomic selections in the resort’s seven restaurants and 4 bars. The point of reference though is the unique sense of hospitality and the high standard of service in every guest encounter.
We have just returned from a week here. Cannot fault it. Location perfect - just a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport. Everything was immaculately presented at the hotel. Rooms spotlessly clean with toiletries provided. Fully stocked fridge mini bar. Staff friendly. Food excellent - wide choice of restaurants and all of very high standard. The food at the main buffet restaurant was also of high quality with lots of lovely choice. There’s also the bonus of the beach cafe, creperie and snack bar. 3 very clean pools catering for kids, those wishing to relax or for those that preferred music. All pools had a bar serving food. There was evening entertainment every evening and activities in the day if you wanted to join in such as pool Zumba, darts and beach volleyball. The beach is just across the road and there’s a little land train (not related to the hotel) which gives you a 2 hour tour of some of this beautiful island. We’d love to return to the Mitsis Laguna. Highly recommended!

Both our guests and I as an organizer were 100% satisfied and we look forward to going back. Well done!

Entertainment for adults as well as children. Great cocktails, worth the VIP upgrade. Near and accessible trips to chania, 25 euro in a taxi. Good days trips to visit some beautiful places. Thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip. Also the 50m pool which was great to do so lane swimming

Reflecting traditional Aegean architecture and overlooking the island’s volcanic crater or caldera, the Andronis Luxury Suites represents the most luxurious, dreamy escape in a Mediterranean setting beyond compare.Elements of minimalist design combine with stunning island sunsets, while multi-level balconies blend with a predominantly white assortment of furniture and finishes, awoken occasionally by touches of red and blue to tickle the senses.
Wow. 10 out of 10. From the staff to the view to the overall feeling within the resort - everything was perfection. We are grateful to everything Andronis Suites did to make our family of 6 feel so happy during our stay.

This was our first visit to this hotel, booked via Tui, and no airport problems. Everything was simply perfect. Upon arrival by car, this took 1 hour 10 going, and 1 hour 30 returning, same route but different driving speed. We then arrived to the wow factor reception, a glass of bubbles and a fantastic welcome. We were then taken by golf buggy to our room by the most helpful young men. The view from our room was just unbelievable! stunning :-) We chose a sea view private pool room which was just fantastic. After the last couple of horrendous years, my husband and I really just needed to have time out and relax and we got just that. Although the main pool wasn't busy so anyone choosing that you wouldn't have any trouble getting a sun lounger at any time of the day. I wasn't a fan of the beach, it is pretty stony, but again plenty of sunbeds and so peaceful on there. In fact the whole resort is just peace and quiet. It is not adults only, and I would say only suitable for babies and toddlers, older children would be bored. The food is great in every restaurant. I am not a fan of buffets, I prefer to sit and choose from a menu and there was plenty of option throughout the resort for this. The grounds of the hotel are very well kept and lovely to walk around. The hotel is spotless, the staff cannot do enough for you, and Katrina, just wow! I stupidly left a dress behind in the wardrobe and the same day she so kindly had it sent to the UK for me! The weather was perfect, both day and night, exactly how we had hoped. If I were to give one negative I would say after breakfast it would be good to be able to sit at the pool or main bar and have a drink but they don't open until 11am. 10am would have been great. The hotel is very remote, so this is for anyone who likes to 'fly and flop' as we do. Rhodes town was too far for us to travel to, same as Lindos especially as we were only there for 1 week. But we were very happy to relax around the fabulous private pool and admire the stunning view all day. We will without any hesitation return, it was the best holiday we have ever had. To anyone who is about to go there, you are very lucky! :-)

An exceptional 5 star hotel in Kos island is offering magnificent views of Aegean sea and one of the coolest infinity pools in Greece!
This hotel is nothing less than stunning. Views to die for, spotlessly clean, great modern rooms. The food is incredible, the buffet is really good, the choice in a la carte well worth a visit, we always found plenty to eat in every restaurant. We’ve seen some comments about the wine, but we found the rose really lovely and one of our party is very picky. The best part about the hotel though is the staff. Every single person was lovely, really helpful and made you feel like they were pleased to see you. A special mention to the wonderful Adina who looked after us so well in the bar. One of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in for a lovely chilled week, can’t wait to return.
