3 Best Hotels in Kardamyli, The Peloponnese

Even if it were just about the setting, which gazes over the twinkling waters of Kalamitsi Bay, a tiny suburb just five minutes' walk south of town, this would still be the best stay in Kardamyli. The view from the pool or breakfast terrace is one you'll certainly want to savor. In fact, everything about this plush, stylish escape screams class, from the cooling stone-grey decor to the general air of contentment and quiet that pervades the air—and all for a reasonable price. 

These bright, handsome stone cottages, owned by the couple behind Lela's Taverna, lie scattered across hillside gardens. Their insides are furnished in handmade, bleached-wood pieces and attractive muted fabrics. Each unit also has a large terrace overlooking the sea and kitchens are well equipped. The hospitality of Giorgos and Maria is as warm and embracing as everything else about this lovely spot. Stays are a three-day minimum.
