OUR FAVOURITE ROOM
The Signature Suite (51 m²) is the perfect choice for a romantic retreat. It is also spacious enough for a larger family or a group of friends, as well as an excellent choice for business guests who require a luxury pied-à-terre.
HIGHLIGHT: the freestanding bath overlooking the green patio and the private terrace with an Acropolis view!
Every morning, the heavenly smell of freshly-baked bread and pastries lingers in the air, inviting you to enjoy a mouthwatering breakfast. Brunch at the Muse Bistro is also quite the affair - and is served all day long.
Muse Bistro’s kitchen can best be described as hip and fun, but with a generous dash of seriousness! Inspired by traditional Greek cuisine, and making full use of the abundance of fresh local produce, Chef Themis and his team pair mediterranean flavours and classic dishes with modern flair. All dishes are made-in-house, with all-around devotion to tasty and hearty nutrition. Muse bistro is ideal for a quick brunch, an afternoon coffee or even an aperitivo just before a delectable dinner from the à la carte menu.
