The Margi
Why it made our list: Terracotta and tropical greenery amidst the Vouliagmeni pines with a pool you won’t want to leave. Thers a warmth here that feels nothing like a hotel: The Margi is its own world entirely.
At a Glance
A landmark hotel that’s been on the Riviera since the 1960s. Its breezy ambience and earthy tones exude a calm that hits you as soon as you arrive. The building is six stories but never feels like it. Artwork collected from around the world sits alongside handcrafted furnishings and candlelit corners make the whole place feel personal, like someone’s very well-travelled home.
The pool terrace is where The Margi earns its reputation. Unhurried, genuinely atmospheric, with the right music and staff who know when to appear and disappear.
Guests who arrive with a full itinerary tend to revise it here. The spa is serious, the concierge is exceptional, and the upper floor rooms on the sea-facing side have the kind of light and quiet that make leaving feel like a bad idea.
The Gist: This is the Athenian Riviera’s most enduring boutique address. Come for the pool, stay for everything else.
