Three different accommodation settings allow for a pleasingly personalized vacation at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens. Choose from laid-back Arion, bustling Nafsika, or deluxe beachside at The Bungalows – and it’s all just 30 minutes from downtown Athens. Spend a day taking in the historic wonders of ancient civilization, then return to the Athens Riviera for unwinding and relaxing.
