Why we picked this hotel
The Margi combines a proper resort-style pool, a serious spa and one of the Athens Riviera’s strongest restaurants with the warmth of a family-run hotel.
Hotel description
The Margi is a family-run 89-room hotel in Vouliagmeni, surrounded by pine trees and only a few minutes’ walk from the beaches of the Athens Riviera. Founded by the Stavridis family and now run by its third generation, it combines warm Mediterranean interiors, handcrafted furniture and balconies overlooking the sea, pool or surrounding greenery. The hotel has a large outdoor pool, a full spa with a heated indoor pool, fitness suite and three distinct dining spaces. Patio is the standout, serving MICHELIN-starred tasting menus using ingredients from The Margi Farm, while GiO handles lunch and dinner and Nilaya serves breakfast.
Hotel location
This is great
A family hotel since the 1960s
The story began with Margi House in 1960, and the third generation of the founding family still runs the hotel today.
The pool defines summer here
Olive trees, cabanas and low daybeds surround the outdoor pool, with GiO moving outside beside the water during warmer months.
Patio has a MICHELIN star
Panagiotis Giakalis serves modern Greek tasting menus in an intimate courtyard, using produce grown specifically for the restaurant at Margi Farm.
The farm genuinely supplies the kitchen
Vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs and olive oil travel from the hotel's own organic farm to its restaurants and breakfast tables.
The spa is more than treatments
Three treatment rooms, a couples suite, indoor pool, sauna and steam room make this a proper wellness facility rather than a massage room.
The beach is genuinely close
The hotel places Royal Beach about five minutes away on foot, with several other Vouliagmeni beaches within easy walking distance.
Our take on the stay
The hotel’s own farm brings something special to Michelin-starred dining, with a pool and spa completing the Riviera escape.

About the destination
Athens
Athens stretches beyond its ancient centre to a Riviera of beaches, marinas, and seaside neighbourhoods along the Saronic Gulf. Vouliagmeni is one of its most sought-after coastal areas, known for sheltered beaches, waterfront restaurants, and easy access to the city. The Margi sits close to the sea here, offering a relaxed retreat that combines the Athenian Riviera with Athens within reach.
