Impressive decorations, a Christmas market and a marching band bring festive vibes in the Athens Riviera!
Four Seasons Athens, (or Four Seasons Astir Palace Athens as it is its full name) made waves when it first opened its doors during the spring of 2019. Located in the most idyllic peninsula of Athens Riviera, the luxury resort is a serene, secluded getaway where ancient and modern Greece meet -and now it’s celebrating its first Christmas!
Not only that, but it does so with a full schedule of Christmas events and activities that are going on for the whole month (and then some more). First of all, there are the impressive decorations, transforming the hotel in a true winter wonderland… with a sea view. A huge tree, elegant and festive details, cute bears and tiny mistletoes are just some of the deco highlights that set the mood for the season.
The list of festive activities is long and rich, but a traditional European-style Christmas Market, with glühwein, hot chocolate, sweet and savoury treats, traditional lucky charms, arts-and-crafts activities, and magical carousel is definitely among the highlights.
