The Details That Made The List
Villa Almyra is the room I'd book. A beautifully restored retreat with sweeping sea views.
The quiet setting is the point. Uninterrupted sea views and a deliberately slow pace — reason enough not to leave every night.
Perfectly positioned for the water. Book a boat for the next morning and see the western coastline before anyone else does.

This is authenticity over excess. If you want a full resort with restaurants and a spa, look at Erēma instead.
Head into Klima before sunset. It's only a few minutes away and one of the best places on the island to wander before dinner.

One of those rare hotels where returning each afternoon becomes part of the experience.
