2 Best Hotels in Kokkari, The Northern Aegean Islands

Tucked away in pine trees above Tsamadou Beach, this utterly delightful hotel combines sophistication and informal style and is one of the island's most special retreats, with beautiful gardens and terraces, handsomely furnished guest rooms that open to balconies and lawns, and a sparkling pool, all overlooking the sea below. Adding to the pleasure of a stay here is attentive service, many quiet areas in which to unwind, and relaxed dining on the sea-view terrace. The beach is an easy walk away.

Surrounded by big, flowery gardens, these comfortably furnished apartments open to wide verandas and seem a world removed from the beach scene just down the lane. All units have well-equipped kitchens and nicely outfitted bathrooms, and some larger apartments have two baths. If you fancy a change from Kokkari beach, the pretty cove at Tsamadou, with its shallow water, pine trees, and sun loungers, is an easy walk away.
