Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens Unveils Crafted in Greece

 

Just 30 minutes from Athens, the Four Seasons Astir Palace sits on a pine-shaded stretch of the Aegean coast. A legendary Riviera hideaway welcoming families since the 1960s. This summer, the hotel’s new Crafted in Greece program turns a stay here into a genuine cultural adventure for all ages.

For the Kids

The Kids Club runs sessions on Greek mythology and teaches children to write their own names in the Greek alphabet, endlessly exciting for younger guests. Pottery workshops with local artists bring ancient storytelling traditions to life with hands in the clay, while Greek dance classes get the whole family moving.

For Food Lovers

Chefs lead market-to-table journeys: a morning at a local market, a cooking class, and a leisurely lunch built around regional recipes. Older children and teenagers will enjoy guided tastings of olive oil and wine, and parents can explore Greek spirits at the hotel’s bar, Avra.

Out & About

The concierge team organizes private yacht cruises, sea kayaking, and visits to the Acropolis and the Plaka neighborhood. For something truly memorable, there are tours to the clifftop Byzantine monasteries of Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On the Beach

From 18 June, the reimagined Zolotas Beach offers relaxed seaside dinners grilled fresh on the dock, the perfect end to a day of exploring.

At its heart, Crafted in Greece is built around philoxenia, the Greek tradition of heartfelt hospitality.
