Why choose a 4-star?
Four-star hotels in Greece are often smaller and family-run, with more personal service and a stronger sense of place than big resorts. You may have fewer restaurants or no kids’ club, but you often get a better location, a calmer pool and more money left for tavernas and boat trips. Every hotel in this guide is rated by our guests as highly as many five-stars.
How we chose these hotels
We looked at every four-star hotel we sell in Greece and chose the best-rated on each island or region, so you can compare a wide spread of destinations. We excluded hotels already featured in our other guides, so you get fresh choices. Every hotel here is well rated by our guests on TripAdvisor, and every one can be booked with us as an ATOL-protected package with flights and transfers. Prices change daily, so use the search box at the end of this page for live availability, or ask a Travel Designer for a tailored shortlist.
When to go
May to October; June and September are ideal for warm sea and quieter beaches. Most Greek islands are three to four hours from the UK.
