Also in AFAR.
The Roc Club itself is a stylish, sunny, modernist-inspired hotel, a thorough reimagining of an existing mid-century property.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Lake Vouliagmeni's thermal waters are a short walk south, and superyachts line the nearby Astir Marina.

The rooms
Every room opens onto a private terrace, with light oak finishes and sheer curtains letting in the coastal sun.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool sits on rock terraces beneath a Mediterranean pine, heated through the winter months.
Rocket Bar and Rooftop Restaurant
The open-air rooftop terrace looks across the bay to the Aegean Sea, serving raw-bar dishes and evening cocktails.
The 34-room Roc Club leans into the mood of the moment, with light-filled spaces boasting midcentury furniture and an extraordinary collection of works by visionary Greek artist Angelos Goulandris.
At the table
The Roc Veranda serves Mediterranean plates and breakfast across a sunlit lounge lined with floor-to-ceiling balcony windows.
How it began
The hotel rose from the foundations of a 1960s motel that spent decades operating as the Vouliagmeni Suites.
