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.

Compare the flexible direct member rate with an eligible luxury-advisor booking for breakfast, credit, and upgrade consideration.
Confirm current room configurations, seasonal closures, and transfer requirements directly with the property.
The best category is usually determined by outlook, privacy, and location rather than square metres alone.
