During my stay in the Athens Riviera, Pax More Greece, had me stay at one of their preferred boutique properties, the Somewhere Vouliagmeni.

I really enjoyed my stay in this 11 room boutique hotel. The location is terrific and is well situated for walking around the most charming part of the town of Vouliagmeni. Just a 3 to 5 minute walk away are really good restaurants, cafes and excellent pastry shops. The beach is right across the street, downtown Athens is just a 30-40 minute drive away (while airport is some 20min away). This is Greece, so of course, there are some archaeological sites nearby — the best known being the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion.

The hotel has a lovely spa, and it is also near Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural freshwater and seawater spa, where the Garru Rufa fish can give you a “natural” pedicure.

During the summer months the hotel has well-known visiting chefs and is a dining destination at their restaurant Lutetia.

The welcome gift was two small bottles of a delicious Greek rosé and local chocolate — yum. I’d highly recommend it!
