Fodor's Expert Review Votsala Hotel

This alluring, Bauhaus-style retreat surrounded by peaceful gardens that run down to the water is a beloved island institution, a favorite of scores of return visitors. The gracefully refined, family-like ambience and the simple yet comfortable quarters, all with terraces, ensure that guests feel as if they've settled into a private paradise. The gracious, nature-loving owners Iannis and Daphne serve delicious family-style meals on the seaside verandas and lead insightful and fun excursions that include nature walks along "farmers' trails" that conclude with a meal at a taverna only the locals know.
