As a Greek, I am well-acquainted with the Greek attitude toward customer service and I question whether Aman will be able to find enough individuals who buy into its philosophy.
I read the Kathimerini article, and found it very interesting.
I hope I'm wrong as I'd love to have somewhere convenient and wonderful to escape to for a few days while visiting my parents every summer
but I have my doubts.

I would like this info too!
Pictures look nice, but pavilions look close one to another. It seems there is a kind of gate between two pavilions (for family accomodation?).
I also wonder how Amanzoe will compare to Amanruya because these two resorts are very similar. All other Aman property seem to have a unique personality, but not in this case.

I mean they are two mediterranean resorts with sea views, they have a lot in common and even if design and architecture is different they share many similarities.
From what I understood official opening date will not be confirmed before May or June.
I found an aerial view:
Amanzoe is easily accessible from Athens (25 min by helicopter / 2,5 hours drive / 2 hours by boat), it is a good point.
