Further information

A daily tasting moment at 5pm showcases traditional Greek cheeses and regional produce. George, The Lobby Bar covers everything from breakfast and brunch through to late-night cocktails. Room service is also available throughout the day.
Experiences
The King George sits within walking distance of the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Panathenaic Stadium, and the Monastiraki Flea Market. Day trips to the nearby islands of Hydra, Poros, and Aegina can be arranged, and a Greek Wine Masterclass runs weekly at the Hotel Grande Bretagne’s Wine Library next door. A fitness centre is available on site for hotel guests.
Greece
Greece sits at the southeastern tip of Europe, on the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts. The country covers a small mainland and around 6,000 islands, 200 of which are inhabited. The main island groups are the Cyclades (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, and Naxos), the Ionian (Corfu, Kefalonia, and Zakynthos), and the Dodecanese (Rhodes, Symi), and Crete, which is large enough to be a destination on its own.
Our Experts
Greece is one of our clients' most popular destinations. The combination of history in Athens and beach life in the islands is a brilliant combination.
Island hopping in Greece is one of my favorite travel experiences. The cobbled streets of Mykonos and the bright blue domes of Santorini are picture perfect.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
