Set on a lush pine-clad peninsula just outside of Athens, Astir is located in the Vouliagmeni area and an easy 30-minute drive from the airport or city center. Known as the Athens Riviera, this has historically been the ultimate destination for the world’s rich and famous. The sparkling new Four Seasons property offers up three private beaches, eight restaurants, riviera style lounges and bars, and an enormous Spa.
