Zakynthos
Two converted windmills – one dazzling white, the other with exposed-stone walls, each sleeping two guests – plus two- and four-person rooms and apartments occupy an old stone house with a fantastic clifftop location in Cape Skinari. Although there's a novelty factor to sleeping in a windmill, the rooms, which have boutique flourishes, are actually more comfortable.
There’s a taverna alongside, and steps lead to a lovely swimming area.
