£689pp—Greece: 5-star Samos week w/meals & sea view

Escape to a 5-star resort that's right on the beach, just a short walk from the birthplace of Pythagoras. It's recently undergone a refurbishment, and Travelzoo Club Members can stay in some of the newly renovated rooms, complete with sea views, for much less than others would pay. We tried packaging the same trip ourselves, and couldn't find it for less than £1100 per person. This is a Club Offer, negotiated exclusively for Club Members.

This deal is £645 per person. A tourism tax of 15€ (£12.51) per room, per night, is payable at the hotel. Per person, that works out at an extra £43.78, taking the total to £688.78 per person. 

What's included

• Return flights
• Seven nights at the Doryssa Seaside Resort, in a Deluxe Sea View Room
• Daily breakfast and dinner

Hotel details
The Doryssa Seaside Resort is a 5-star hotel along a stretch of Blue Flag-awarded beach. It's on the island's south coast, about a 10–15 minute walk from the town centre of Pythagorion. This was the birthplace of the mathematician Pythagoras. 

The hotel is split into two different areas—the main building, and the Village. Your room is in the main building, with views out to the Aegean. These rooms have just been fully renovated. Amenities include a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, air conditioning, and a private balcony. 

The Village has been designed to reflect a traditional Samos neighbourhood, complete with cobblestones and a main square. There's a coffee shop here, plus a restaurant, a mini market, and some artisan boutiques. You can also visit the chapel of Agia Marina, which is home to some wonderfully restored Byzantine frescoes.

Other facilities include an Olympic-sized outdoor swimming pool, a spa, and a fitness centre. You can also take part in water sports on the beach, or practise your serve at the tennis court.

Daily breakfast and dinner is included in the hotel's main buffet restaurant. Paid options include the Asterias Mediterranean restaurant right by the sea; the traditional Greek restaurant Pasas, located in the Village; the poolside restaurant Pnoe; and a swanky Asian-fusion restaurant, serving fresh sushi.

Other options
Go all-inclusive from an extra £319 per person.
