On the high ground east of the town beach, the flowering, creeper-clad classic Cycladic cubes of Ostria hide attractive rooms and studios with quirky decor made from seashells and driftwood. Rooms have kitchenettes; spacious studios have kitchens. Take the first left after the bike-rental sign at the eastern end of the beach and climb the hillock.
