Τα πέντε κορυφαία ελληνικά ξενοδοχεία που βρίσκονται σε Μύκονο, Σαντορίνη και Κω, είναι τα εξής (διατηρούμε τις περιγραφές του CNT από το πρωτότυπο):
Archipelagos Hotel, Mykonos, Greece 9/50
Less than a quarter mile from the golden-sand Kalo Livadi beach, one of the longest on the island, the Archipelagos Hotel is about as idyll a retreat as you’ll find, despite sitting on one of Greece’s more popular spits of land. Take in a Cycladean sunset from your post on the pool deck, or, if you prefer, from the comfort of your room—designed like an amphitheater, many of the set-ups offer views of the region’s azure waters. Come breakfast, stake out the buffet, a princely spread of fresh pastries, breads, meats, cheeses, and dried fruit to sustain you for the day ahead—whether that means a hike up the isle’s rocky crags, or one parsing past issues of The New Yorker by the pool.
Mystique (Luxury Collection), Santorini, Greece 17/50
Building a hotel into the face of Santorini’s dramatic sea cliffs lends an immediate advantage: The location alone is enough to make it a showstopper. Happily, the 39-room Mystique, under the same ownership as the island’s highly regarded but viewless Vedema Resort, lives up to its stunning site. The free-form rooms, decorated in what might be called cave-art style (driftwood for headboards, a dining table and chairs that appear to be made of egg-shaped boulders), are carved directly into the cliff, and the views—toward the town of Fira—are magnificent. Mystique is accessed by a heart-poundingly steep staircase in one of the most private locations in Oia. Guests can take advantage of the splendid isolation by whiling away their afternoons poolside, then sitting down to a grilled lobster dinner under the stars at the open-air restaurant.
Sun Rocks, Santorini, Greece 24/50
Maybe you think this is just another Santorini hotel, with the same white-washed Cycladic architecture, vaulted ceilings, and views of the azure waters as its worthy neighbors—but you’re wrong. To start, the hotel is carved into the side of a volcanic cliff, and has spellbinding views of the caldera below, but that’s hardly all: It’s also a foodie paradise, where gourmet meals are tantamount to setting in importance. At Elea, the in-house restaurant, dishes range from the starkly traditional, like the creamy, risotto-like trahanoto, to the Aegan-inspired, with a twist, like the rockfish tartar. It’s hard to go wrong—just don’t miss the Pavlova, served with Rose ice cream.
Kos Aktis Art Hotel, Greece 26/50
The Greek island of Kos is famous for its abundance of Greek and Roman landmarks—Hippocrates’s shady tree has its home here—and you could make a strong case for Kos Aktis being added to the list. Its minimalist décor is a far cry from the fanciful flourishes of temples or forums, but what it lacks in flair, it makes up for in features like floor-to-ceiling bedside windows, and tasty, traditional Greek breakfasts comprising local favorites (try the loukoumades, sticky, honey-covered bits of fried dough, for a true taste of the island).
Canaves Oia Santorini, Greece 28/50
There’s so much more to Santorini than clear blue skies and craggy hillsides awash in pristine white homes—though we’re certainly not complaining about either of those. At Canaves Oia Santorini, the draw extends to a cliffside infinity pool that overlooks the Aegean, and dinners whipped up from freshly-caught fish, plus a sampling of some of Greece’s finest wines.
