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.

Mashpi Lodge

  • Private transfers (via private vehicle, helicopter, or boat) coordinate directly with resort operations.
  • Bespoke guided cultural excursions, private tastings, and nature tours can be pre-arranged with the concierge.
  • Pack comfortable luxury travel attire and appropriate footwear for local exploration.
