A visit to Athens’ top-quality spas and hammam bath houses can be the perfect gift to offer yourself or a loved one this year. A deep, powerful massage with essential oils and other sumptuous ingredients in a calm and soothing atmosphere can be an excellent way to de-stress after a busy day, week or year!

The combination of soft lighting, music, and healing aromas creates a calming environment, while the massage itself can help alleviate even chronic muscle tension and promote deep mental, physical and emotional recovery. It’s vital that we take time for self-care, and visiting the places we recommend here is the perfect way to do so.

Hotel Grande Bretagne
With classically lavish aesthetics, the spa at the Hotel Grande Bretagne is one of the most luxurious in the city. It offers a broad range of sophisticated body and facial treatments, as well as a choice of ‘Pre & Post Natal Treatments’. To experience ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation, you could treat yourself to the 4.5 hour “Signature Ultimate Urban Retreat” which includes body wraps based on your personal needs, a hot stone massage and the “GB Prickly Pear Luxury Facial”, a natural lifting method that provides a rejuvenating effect using natural active ingredients such as skin-renewing prickly pear seeds and acai berry. Don’t miss out on a dip in the indoor heated pool and a visit to the sauna or hammam. Sessions are concluded with a light meal on the patio.
