Valued for its ‘relaxed atmosphere’, the Sofianou family’s ‘civilised’ B&B hotel is a listed 19th-century sea captain’s mansion, ‘a fine example of Hydriot architecture’.

This restored neo-classical mansion (built by wealthy 19th-century sea captain), is now a sympathetic and ‘exquisite’ B&B hotel.

“Perfect for families with children”, this holiday hotel is on the beach at the “best” end, near the harbour, of this seaside resort near Náfplio.

With ‘bags of character’, this converted 19th-century sponge trading post is ‘in many ways the perfect small Greek island hotel’, according to a visitor. 

By the old city wall of Corfu’s Venetian capital, and a short walk into the town, this large hotel provides an escape from the heat and crush of the town. 

On a beautiful bay, with a river on either side, on the beautiful island of Cefallonia, this ‘blissful’ B&B hotel, owned by the ‘genuinely welcoming’ Dorizas family, continues to be liked.

In Kythira’s ‘very pretty’ old administrative capital, this white-walled, blue-shuttered, two-storey 19th-century mansion stands on a hill. 

On a hill above the capital of this ‘traditional Greek island’, this ‘very attractive hotel’ (said the nominator) has been managed by Georgios Troullos for many years.

On a sand and rock beach (‘fine swimming’), in an old fishing village on the north-east coast of lovely Kythira island, stands this small white B&B hotel, built in traditional style. 

On a hillside, about seven minutes’ walk from the harbour and within a short distance of the Venetian castle, the museum and many tavernas and shops, ‘this is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in,’ say visitors.

Outside a charming inland village, this ‘most attractively situated’ small hotel is designed to look like a village itself.
