Can’t decide where to go out of Greece or Spain for your next holiday? This guide should help you out.
Greece, known for its crystal blue waters and it desirable Mediterranean climate, provides the perfect combo of luxury in a chilled out and sophisticated environment. Greece has the greatest amount of islands in Europe, each providing unique oppurtunities that will satisfy even the most well-travelled holiday maker.
Greece provides an unparalleled combination of luxury accommodation in Athens with stunning beach resorts in the Aegean islands. The Porto Zante Villas and Spa in Zakynthos is a 5* star resort featuring private villas with private secluded pools, a gorgeous Mediterranean cuisine and a Spa specializing in Thalassotherapy. In Athens, the Hotel Grande Bretagne has been a benchmark for luxury accommodations for over 100 years. The hotel, situated in the centre of Athens, is within walking distance of the Parthenon in Syntagma Square, Kolonaki, the old city of Plaka and other sites of cultural significance.
Spain boasts the same variation between cosmopolitan luxury lodging and private island resorts. The Hotel Arts in Barcelona is a 5* hotel owned by the famous Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. It is the preferred hotel for many past presidents with spectacular views over the city and out to sea.
Greece and Spain both offer the stylish vacations that one would expect from a luxury destination, but with Greece maintaining a slightly more subtle luxury in a very culturally inspired environment. For those seeking a more lavish, OTT experience, Spain provides all the pieces of the jigaw for such a holiday.
