Ilya Suites by the Sea
With chic and ultracontemporary properties spread out over the tiny town of Steni Vela, Ilya dominates the hotel infrastructure here without being imposing—in fact, you'll be hard-pressed to even see the residences when walking around the town. Each apartment faces out to serene olive trees, and all are just footsteps to the sea (with some benefiting from sea views). There are villas available to rent, too. If you'd rather stay a little more inland, within a large, calming olive grove, choose its sister property, Ilya Botanic Suites.
