I knew I was in for a treat from the moment I set foot in Porto Carras. Nestled among the olive trees and overlooking the Aegean Sea, the resort exuded exclusivity and tranquility. With its elegant decor and panoramic sea views, my room provided the perfect sanctuary after a day of exploration.
The resort includes a myriad of amenities that indulge every visitor's desire. From fine dining options serving an array of local delicacies (I highly recommend trying the grilled octopus!) to spa treatments, Porto Carras offers their guests a unique and convenient experience.
Below are my favortie snaps of the resort.
Discovering Aristotle's Park
A short drive from the resort lies Aristotle's Park, a hidden gem paying homage to one of history's greatest philosophers. Stepping into the park felt like stepping back in time, surrounded by interactive exhibits that shed light on Aristotle's revolutionary philosophies.
Aristotle's birthplace, Ancient Stagira, is a short drive from the park. Only remnants of the ancient village remain. It's important to note that it closes early in the afternoons, so it's better to visit first.
