Pastel-toned suites with faux antiques, charming staff, and a relaxed vibe characterise this romantic retreat.

Though a popular destination for honeymoons and weddings, it’s also a great choice for families. Most suites sleep 4 and pebbly Plakes beach is literally on the doorstep.

As well as beach refreshments, Tassia’s taverna serves summery Greek comfort food, so you could easily lay low here for days.

But do be aware that the port town is a 10-minute water taxi ride away, or a 45-minute coastal hike if you’re feeling energetic. The hotel has its own wooden caique, Apiliotis, for boat trips to nearby coves and islets.

Please note - we hope to one day have live prices for you, but for now, here are some useful links for you to compare prices...

Tetsis Home & Studio

Hydra, Greek Islands, Greece[2.5 miles]

Near Leonard Cohen’s old house is the former home of the late painter Panayiotis Tetsis – an evocative trove of tender portraits and luminous landscapes of Hydra. Downstairs, the general store run by his grandparents has been preserved as they left it, with dusty bottles of cherry brandy and hand-dipped beeswax candles.
