Greece Boasts Two of the Best Luxury Hotels in Europe, Per TripAdvisor

Greece is boasting two of the ten best luxury hotels in Europe, according to a survey published by leading US travel site TripAdvisor.

The company says that it awards Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best to hotels with a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from our community over a 12-month period.

“Each winner has passed our rigorous trust and safety standards. Fewer than 1% of TripAdvisor’s 8 million listings are awarded Best of the Best, signifying the highest level of excellence in hospitality,” it adds.

The luxury hotels of Greece that made it to the top 10 in Europe

According to the list, the best luxury hotel in Europe is Ikos Dassia, in Corfu.

Ikos Dassia is a new 5-star resort, built in a luxurious, contemporary Mediterranean style, located on the beachfront setting of Dassia Beach, on Corfu Island, with its own long sandy beach.

The hotel applies the highest standards of quality, service and entertainment, design and style- according to the award-winning ‘Infinite Lifestyle’ concept.

The resort includes 411 spacious rooms and suites, 2 main buildings with bedrooms and the resort’s main facilities as well as low rise bungalow-style rooms, 8 restaurants, 10 Bars, 2 Spa centers, indoor and outdoor pools, an open-air theatre, as well as a big range of sports and watersports facilities, fitness centers, mini clubs and children’s facilities.

Dassia, just 12 km from Corfu Town, is one of the most popular beaches on the island. It forms a long strip of sand and fine pebbles, with shallow waters.

Corfu has become a must-visit place for anyone looking to experience what the Greek Islands have to offer.

Its breathtaking scenery, mountain ranges and beaches are amongst the most unforgettable in the country, and its blend of cultural histories and influences –French, English, Venetian, and, of course, Greek — will leave you with a unique understanding of how the culture of the Ionian Islands developed.

At number 4 on TripAdvisor’s list is Ikos Aria on Kos Island.

Basking in the enticing Dodecanese sunshine on the southwest coast of Kos island, Ikos Aria offers a compelling mix of contemporary style and traditional hospitality.

Ikos Aria, where contemporary style is complemented by historic culture, is set within over 47 acres of white sands and clear azure waters. You can unwind with refined morning spa treatments, explore vibrant local towns, sip cocktails as the sun sets, and dine on fine cuisine long into the night.

Kos in Greece is the second most popular island of the Dodecanese after Rhodes. Famous for its beaches, the island offers many historic landmarks that are a result of various cultures that influenced it throughout the years.

Kos island has a 5,000 years long history and has been influenced by many cultures, such as the Ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Venetians, the medieval Knights, and the Ottomans.

Thanks to the remains of all these cultures, sightseeing is one of the best things to do on the island.

The most important historical site to visit is Asklepieion, one of the top holistic healing centers of the ancient world, which followed the medical guidelines of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine.
