Refined Elegance in Greece:
Our New Members in Santorini & Paros
We're thrilled to begin the New Year by introducing you to our portfolio of new resort and villa partners in the Greek Islands of Santorini and Paros. Under the ownership and management of esteemed hoteliers Kalia Konstantinidou and Antonis Eliopoulos, this prestigious portfolio offers a myriad of locations and a variety of styles and ambiences.
In Santorini, choose from the Mystique Hotel with its dramatic views, the Vedema Resort which evolved from a family estate located on a 400 year old winery, the Istoria Hotel which faces a stunning black sand beach, or the ultra-luxurious and exclusive Nafsika Estate villa, one of the finest villas in Greece. In the lesser known Paros, your clients will find a more traditional Greek Island retreat in Parīlio Hotel and their nearby Acron villas (details coming soon).
Each with its own chic style and 'barefoot luxury' vibe, we invite you to click on the individual properties listed below to discover location details, facts sheets, videos and more. Alternatively, you can register for our webinar here to receive a more detailed overview of these fantastic resorts and villas.
