Boutique hotels in Europe

“φιλοξενίας” i.e. “Philoxenia” in Greek literally means “friend to a stranger” and it is a value that ranked at or near the top of the list of virtues. Zeus, aka Zeus Xenios, was after all the protector of strangers and travelers. The boutique hotels in Greece that we share with you embody the religious obligation to be hospitable to travelers.
