Fodor's Expert Review Archontiko Art Hotel

Yiannis Schizas, who established this homey and comforting adults-only hotel with his wife, Argyroula, has a knack for collecting odd items, and each guest room is decorated differently (and tastefully) with his finds—bathroom fixtures might be from ships, or a sewing machine might be used as a table in one room. Special mention goes to the bed-in-a-boat, which is truly remarkable. All the rooms have balconies, and in summer, guests take their rich breakfast, complete with homemade jams, cakes and pies made by Argyroula herself, out on the balcony or in the Mediterranean garden. The property is also only a 30-meter walk to a small pebble beach that few other visitors discover.
