Top 10 Five-Star All-Inclusive Resorts in Greece

·True luxury all-inclusive

Ikos Oceania holds 350 metres of Blue Flag beach at Nea Moudania in Halkidiki, with waiter service on the sand. It is one of the older resorts in the Ikos group and still one of the best-reviewed, on the strength of two things guests mention above all others: the food and the staff. Five heated pools, indoor and outdoor, extend the season at both ends, and there are 290 rooms behind them.

·Consistently strong guest sentiment for service, food and family ease.

Ikos on Kos, and the formula is as strong as ever, Michelin-starred kitchens, a private beach, and the signature Infinite Lifestyle perk that lets you dine out at local tavernas on the resort's tab. Genuinely upscale all-inclusive that never feels like a buffet line. Best May through September.

·One of the strongest all-inclusive dining models in Europe.

Ikos Odisia sits on a serviced bay at Dassia on Corfu, and its headline number is ten heated pools plus separate splash parks for children. Eight restaurants and six bars sit behind that, and the childcare runs from six months old through to seventeen, which is a wider band than almost anything else in our Greek catalog. The beach is calm and Ionian rather than dramatic; the resort is what people come for.

·Excellent food and drink reputation.

·Excellent food program with multiple à la carte restaurants and local Dine Out options.

The Corfu Ikos, set on a private beach and bay backed by green hills. Same winning hand, Michelin-starred dining, the dine-out program at local restaurants, and a proper kids' club that makes it work for families. Lush, polished, and easy. Best May through October.

·Strong luxury positioning with 251 rooms and more than 60 private-use pools.

Atrium Prestige is a secluded luxury resort on the south-east coast of Rhodes, for couples and families who want a private pool and a quiet beach. It sits about 79 minutes from the airport, a long run by Rhodes standards, on a Blue Flag beach with no town on the doorstep and nothing to walk to in the evening. That remoteness is the trade: it is what buys the quiet, and it makes the resort's own restaurants the whole dining plan for the week.

·Excellent all-inclusive dining and premium drinks.

·Brand-new Ikos resort with high-end room and pool infrastructure.

Ikos keeps expanding and they keep getting it right. Kissamos is their newest Crete property, 53 acres, seven restaurants with Michelin-starred chefs, and their Infinite Lifestyle concept where you can dine out at local restaurants on their tab. If you've done Ikos before you know the standard. If you haven't, this would be a great first one.

·True 24-hour ultra all-inclusive

Mitsis Selection Laguna is a 24-hour ultra all-inclusive on Crete's north coast, for families who want five pools and five a la carte restaurants. It is about 28 minutes from Heraklion's airport, with 351 rooms, seven bars, and a heated pool complex with a waterslide and children's pool, above a beach that mixes sand with pebbles. The pools are the reason to book; the beach is the compromise.

·Spectacular lagoon-pool design.
