This has to be, without question, one of the best all-inclusive hotels in Greece, if not in Europe. Until the hotel came along the area used to be just a long, sandy beach and abode for sea turtles. But today this massive resort is itself the top destination in the Peloponnese.

The staff are smiling and efficient – but it’s on the facilities that the Westin comes up trumps.
