Santorini
Markezinis Suites
In central Santorini, behind wooden gates off ancient Messaria’s main square, a graceful terracotta estate that was formerly the residence of Greece’s prime minister now serves as a posh, petite hideaway. Here, wide wooden halls lead to six parlor-style suites, all with plush white-on-white beds, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and a pastel color scheme that complements the light that floods in through oversize windows. Come sundown, smartly dressed travelers order chilled glasses of locally produced Assyrtiko on the villa’s sunporch; then it’s down to the subterranean bistro for white-skin eggplant and stewed sweet tomato. End the day with a sip of ouzo and the chef’s sufficiently sweet, flaky souvlaki.
Room to Book:
Book one of the two cozy Markenzinis Suites, for a built-in Jacuzzi, hardwood floors, and original artwork on the walls.
Insider Tip:
Kiriakos Stamatis, the hotel’s attentive general manager, will be happy to arrange a full-day cruise to nearby Caldera, including stop-offs on the famed red-and-white-sand beaches, hot springs, and volcano beds.
