You'll sleep and eat well at this welcoming hotel-taverna gem. Rooms are cosy and clean, and equipped with fridges and fans. When you're hungry, just relocate to the shaded courtyard next door to sample excellent mezedhes, saganaki (fried cheese), fresh fish and breakfast with 'sunshine eggs'. There's a small beach across the road, and live acoustic music many summer evenings.
