Loutra Edipsou's most luxurious address, founded in the late 19th century, this in-your-mud-masked-face seaside wellness resort is set around a rambling open-air 31°C pool amid gardens of palms and oleander. The look is old-world-elegant, with marble floors, canopied curtains, twirling staircases, fluffy bathrobes, and smartly updated balconied rooms in soothing pastels. Nonguests are welcome in the swish spa and pools.
