Best The Leading Hotels of the World in Greece

Fans of simple elegance and luxury will love Katikies Hotel in Santorini, Greece. The rooms are decorated in stark white, with crisp white linens, minibars, Nespresso coffee machines and private terraces that offer views of the cobalt blue sea. Outside your room, you'll find three infinity pools surrounded by a sun deck furnished with lounge chairs, plus two Jacuzzis (one indoor, one outdoor). The property is also home to a spa and several eateries that serve a variety of Mediterranean cuisine. Previous visitors were very impressed by the food and drinks at the Champagne Bar & Restaurant. Though some bemoan the high room rates, overall, guests sing the praises of Katikies Hotel, saying the service is superb and that the property makes for a perfect honeymoon hideaway or romantic escape. And many called out the complimentary cell phone provided to each guest to assist with taxis and other services while exploring Santorini as a particularly helpful amenity. Free Wi-Fi is also available throughout the property. As part of The Leading Hotels of the World, this hotel participates in the Leaders Club loyalty program.

Kirini Santorini's recently renovated, all-suite accommodations are awash in fresh white tones and luxurious amenities like soft bedding, free Wi-Fi access, Nespresso coffee makers and satellite TV. But what really wins guests over is the great service and the unbeatable views of the Santorini caldera from almost every part of the property. Outside of the rooms, vacationers can enjoy the outdoor pool and poolside bar or indulge in A.SPA's pampering treatments, sauna, steam room, indoor Jacuzzi and heated indoor pool. To get your blood pumping, reserve a cardio machine at the appointment-only gym – though, according to recent guests, climbing the abundance of stairs throughout the property may be all the exercise you need. When hunger strikes, travelers can dine at Anthós Restaurant, which serves up local gourmet fare alongside breathtaking views of the turquoise sea. If you'd like to adventure outside of the hotel, note that the picturesque town of Oia is just a short walk away. Kirini Santorini is affiliated with The Leading Hotels of the World, so Leaders Club members can enjoy perks like free breakfast and room upgrades (when available).

As its name suggests, The Leading Hotels of the World-affiliated Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas sits in the small town of Elounda on the Greek island of Crete.
