Good to Know
Amandayan
- Lijiang’s altitude can be felt on arrival; keep the first day gentle.
- The old town is close but steep walking and cobbles are unavoidable.
- Autumn offers crisp visibility and mushroom season; winters can be cold.
Amanzoe
- The beach club and hillside pavilions are a genuine shuttle ride apart — factor that into how you plan your days.
- About 2.5 hours by car from Athens, or a shorter transfer via the resort's private helicopter option.
- Best May through October; many facilities scale back or close over winter.
