The chic and charming Margi is an upscale boutique hotel situated in a seaside town a 40-minute drive outside of Athens. Interiors are stylish and atmospheric, as is the outdoor pool area, which is the star of the show here with its choice of plush sunbeds, cabanas, and sophisticated seating corners. Dining includes a seasonal poolside option and a gourmet restaurant, both culling organic ingredients from the hotel's own farm. There are a couple of bars too, as well as a stylish spa and modern fitness facilities. The 89 contemporary guest rooms are a bit small, but have private balconies and sleek modern bathrooms with Korres toiletries. The beach is just a two-minute walk away, but guests seeking something directly on the sand might want to consider the Divani Apollon Suites.
