Where the gods live
Welcome to the luxury Olympus:
Greece is once again scoring points this summer with glamorous new openings on the country's most beautiful coasts.
Ikos Odisia, Corfu
Ikos Odisia is the sixth hotel in the country - and the second in Corfu - to be opened by Ikos Resorts, known for its "luxury all-inclusive beach vacation". Located directly opposite its sister resort Ikos Dassia in a paradisiacal bay, the 390-room and suite complex offers five à la carte restaurants, 10 pools, a large spa and numerous sports facilities, all of which can be used free of charge as part of the "Infinite Lifestyle" offer. Another top feature is the "Local Discovery Service", which includes a rental car for the day and dine-out options outside the resort.

Cook's Club Kolymbia Rhodes
Casual luxury and contemporary lifestyle in extraordinary locations: the innovative hotel brand Cook's Club has been celebrating great success with this concept for several years now. The latest addition to the portfolio is Cook's Club Kolymbia Rhodes. Located not far from Rhodes Town on one of the most beautiful island beaches, you can spend relaxing days and exciting party nights with live DJs here. The cuisine concept is as delicious as it is creative, with Asian street food, an Italian à la carte restaurant and a cool cantina. Three bars round off the offer.

Cayo Exclusive Resort, Crete
Whether Superior Room or Cayo Grand Pool Villa with 3 bedrooms, home cinema, mini-gym and elevator: whichever of the 70 stylish hideaways at Cayo Exclusive Resort you choose, a private pool is always included as standard. If you still want to visit the pretty stone beach with its own pavilions and sunbeds, you can use the convenient funicular. Cayo Exclusive Resort offers four elegant restaurants for dining, sophisticated bars by the pool or in the lobby - and luxury beds from the Greek manufacturer COCO-MAT for sleeping.

The Thinking Traveler
Good news for spoiled individualists who prefer to spend their vacation in their own four walls rather than in a hotel: The Thinking Traveller, exclusive provider of dream villas in the Mediterranean, has added five more properties to its Greece portfolio! In addition to destinations on Mykonos, Paros and Kefalonia, houses on the two picture-book islands of Syros and Hydra are also on offer. All have four to six bedrooms and most also have large pools and gardens.

Once in Mykonos
"Once in Mykonos" - or should we perhaps say "once in Mykonos"? After all, this small 5-star adults-only hotel with just 59 rooms and suites offers such heavenly features as its own outdoor Jacuzzis and pools - or stress-free private check-in and round-the-clock concierge service ... If you want to leave this paradise during your vacation, Mykonos Town is just four kilometers away. The beautiful Ornos Beach is even right at Once in Mykonos' feet. Kyriakos Sotiriou, a star chef who places great value on the best local ingredients and regional recipes, is responsible for the fine cuisine.
