Nowadays, Four Seasons staff has the means to create a profile for every guest and to know what they like so that they can make sure they have it, but it’s also important that they respect every guest privacy.

Despoina Giannouli for "Angelos & Lito" Performance

The Katakouzenos House preserves the spirit and intentions of people who deeply influenced Hellenic identity in the 20th century. Its importance lies not only on its collection of paintings, books and furniture. It is the spirit of the people that have inhabited it, its invisible side that makes it so important.Leto Katakouzenou showing foreign  friends around the temple of Poseidon in Sounio, near Athens, in the 1940s.
