WIN a holiday in Greece WORTH £2,500

This summer, GREEK GASTRONOMY HITS NEW HEIGHTS at MarBella Collection with top chef tasting events. Here’s your chance to sample the best of the Med with a luxury stay at the new five-star MarBella Elix

Dreaming of sun-soaked days with your toes in the sand beside crystal-clear waters, endless meze platters and local Greek wine on hand? With three luxury hotels – all with five-star ratings and views stretching out across the sparkling Ionian Sea – there’s a MarBella stay that’s perfect for you. Whether you choose the golden shores of family-friendly MarBella Corfu or laid-back luxury at adults-only MarBella Nido Suite Hotel & Villas along the coast, you can enjoy watersports from kayaking to sailing, hiking nearby salt marshes and sampling excellent cuisine.

On the mainland, the new MarBella Elix – near the picturesque coastal town of Parga, a hidden gem on Greece’s western coast

– is where luxury meets adventure. Atop a pine-forest hill, the glass-and-stone building offers sweeping sea views. Inside, modern spaces in neutral tones invite you to relax, while many rooms and suites come with their own private or swim-up infinity pool. Soak up the sun, hit the turquoise waters for snorkelling and paddle boarding and test your skills on land with mountain biking, horse riding and hiking in the Epirus Hills. Back at base, four restaurants and three bars will keep your taste buds satisfied and for dinner, take a seat at fine-diner Pearl, where head consultant chef Gikas Xenakis serves up locally caught sea bream, slow-cooked lamb and galaktoboureko millefeuille.

MarBella has been the proud home of outstanding Greek hospitality for over 50 years, bringing the best Mediterranean flavours to the table. Now in its second year, the MarBella Greek Chefs Abroad Festival returns for 2022 with tasting menus from John Skotidas, executive chef of modern Greek restaurant Mazi in London and other acclaimed chefs to be held across the three hotels from July to September. Last year’s host, celebrity chef Yiannis Kioroglou, has joined forces at MarBella Corfu to curate the menus at two new restaurants set to open in May 2022 – French-style à la carte Celeste and Pan-Asian Kum Kuat. And with an authentic slice of Greek gastronomy to be experienced at the festival, it’s the perfect time to visit. marbella.gr
