When in Athens in the summer, once should not miss a show at the Herodion Theater just below the Acropolis. The theater was built in 161AD by Herodes Atticus and renovated in the 1950s as the main venue for the Athens & Epidaurus Festival, along of course with the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus. In addition to the performances produced by the Festival, the theater also hosts a multitude of private shows during the summer. Whether it is theater, a contemporary rock concert, Greek traditional music, or opera, the experience is memorable and at Beyond Leisure we have our little secrets to make it even more comfortable.

We love smart architectural Design Hotels. We visited in Kourouta, an unknown still to many destination, with great beauty and proximity to major sites in Peloponnese.

At Beyond Leisure, we play favorites and our favorite sailing yacht available for charter in Greece is the iconic 50-meter Perini Navi, s/y Baracuda Valleta. Far more impressive than any comparable 50-meter motor yacht, after this charter you will never go back to chartering motor yachts. The question is: are you sophisticated enough?

You’ve run Boston, you’ve run New York City, Chicago, London, Paris, Berlin even Tokyo. But you still haven’t run the original marathon, the Athens Authentic Marathon. The marathon was first presented at the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896; fitting, since the race recreates the run that Pheidippides, a messenger, made from Marathon to Athens in 490 BC to inform the Athenians that their army had won the Battle of Marathon against the Persians. This is the exact same route of the race today. So, while you missed the 2021 Athens Marathon, plan ahead and check it off your list in 2022.

While Thessaloniki is Greece’s second largest city, it might very well be its most charming! A crossroad of people and ideas, the city was the second most important city in the 1000-year Byzantine Empire and has the landmarks to prove it. The Byzantine monuments mix with their Roman predecessors and their Ottoman successors, along with all the ethnicities and cultures that came through to make Thessaloniki what it is today. While there is so much to see and do, don’t forget to take it easy and honor the city’s moto: HALARA.

Ayiopetra is one of those boutique hotel gems ideal for travelers looking to disconnect and recharge. Located on the outskirts of the village of Sagri and with views to the ancient Temple of Demeter and to the pure Cycladic landscape of rural Naxos, this area hasn’t changed much in the past 2000 years. The interiors of its five suites have been outfitted with rare antiques and tasteful contemporary design objects, but it is the property’s calming ambience that sets it apart from others. Located only 20 minutes from the Chora of Naxos and 15 minutes to the most breathtaking beaches of the island, and yet ages away from modern life.
