Great Escapes Greece | Taschen Hotel Book

Great Escapes Greece. The Hotel Book by Taschen, edited by Angelika Taschen, is a love letter to one of the world's most timeless destinations. From the iconic whitewashed villages of Santorini and Mykonos to the rugged coves of Crete, the marble-strewn ruins of Athens, and the lesser-known hideaways of the Peloponnese, this volume captures the essence of Greek hospitality.

Each property celebrates Greece's signature blend of ancient heritage, sun-bleached architecture, and Aegean simplicity—seaside boutique hotels, restored villas, family-run tavernas with rooms, and design-forward modern stays. Every page invites you to slow down, swim in cobalt waters, and dine under olive trees.

With lush photography, evocative storytelling, and curated travel inspiration, this book is a must-have for travelers, designers, honeymooners, and anyone who dreams of the Greek islands.
