Preserved modernist landmark
Seven low-rise stone pavilions frame gardens of pine and olive, bringing mid-century calm right beside the island's bustling center.
“It is seven geometrically laid out rectangles in a large garden, together fusing to create a haven of flowing spaciousness, symmetry, olive trees, cacti, and fragrant herbs.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Protected national heritage status preserves the original 1960 Delian seawall-stone pavilions.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The interiors are modern — Sixties-influenced, but up to date, and positively glowing in the Mediterranean sunlight.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The historic windmills of Kato Mili stand right outside, and the pedestrian alleys of Chora begin steps away.
The rooms
Original Karystos marble floors run through the bedrooms, where private terraces open toward the garden pool or the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A freshwater swimming pool wraps around a palm island in the courtyard, lined with dove-grey daybeds.
The spa and gym
Freestanding tubs host seaweed and spiced mud bathing rituals, and the fitness studio is lit through blue-framed windows.
Apanemi Restaurant
Outdoor tables look across the Aegean Sea, serving contemporary Greek tasting menus developed with chef Yiannis Baxevanis.
How it began
Modernist architect Aris Konstantinidis built the hotel in 1960, using Delian seawall stone to host the era's jet set.
