HILLTOP RETREAT OVERLOOKING THE AEGEAN SEA
For a taste of the tranquil life, book a stay at the Myriam Studios on the postcard-pretty isle of Alonissos. These simple yet spacious studio rooms not only provide plenty of home comforts but place you just a 10-minute stroll from the nearest beach, too.
And what a beach it is: a small stretch of sand and pebble with crystal-clear waters that are gently warmed by the afternoon sun. You’ll find a handful of tavernas and restaurants along the coast here, as well as lines of sun loungers if you fancy taking some time out to top up your tan.
Looking to explore? The capital of Alonnisos – Patitiri – is just 15 minutes from the hotel, a town that’s famous for its whitewashed streets, picturesque harbour, and sloping hillside location. Homegrown wine is a big hit around here and, if you’re itching for further adventures, you can always visit the harbour, hop on a ferry, and visit the neighbouring islands of Skiathos and Skopelos.
Back in your studio, meanwhile, expect air-conditioning, understated Greek décor, a kitchenette, and a private balcony – some of which even boasting sweeping views of the Aegean Sea.
