Dodecanese
The 'glitziest' hotel in Tilos cascades down the cliff to two tiny aquamarine-laced inlets, so the rooms' views are indeed ravishing. The fully equipped studios and apartments are stylishly minimalist; all have private balconies and four-poster beds The downsides (upsides for some) are the many stairs, breakfast is not included, plus 'favourite' rooms tend to get booked out by regulars.
Free pick-ups from the boat and complimentary use of kayaks.
