Good to Know
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.
Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel

Mee is the fine-dining priority while Ristorante Hotel Cipriani is closed; book it before you fly.
Historic-building rooms trade size for Belle Époque character; annex rooms trade character for space and outlook.
Saturday feijoada at Pérgula is a genuine Rio ritual, not hotel filler — plan for it if your stay includes a Saturday.
