HotelChatter

The hotel is slightly out of the town - around a 15-minute walk - but fantastically quiet and serene. If you're looking for romance, or have found it and simply want to revel in it, then look out over the sunset or up into the starry sky. One of the cheesiest, but let's face it, the most happy feelings you'll get in a long while.

Lives up to its five stars
The facilities are 5-star and the design is simple yet elegant. Nothing that'll blow your mind, but nothing that'll irritate either. It's all natural, earthy colours and wooden furniture.

You can get anything from a standard double to a family maisonette to a Presidential Suite (you don't have to be a president to sleep in it, but it helps if you have a similar budget). Tell them it's your honeymoon and you'll get a free bottle of champers.

Get out there
You'd be tempted to spend all day by one of the six swimming pools (including private pools for the Presidential Suite and Family Apartment) or lounging on the terrace, but they won't let you. There's a tennis court, fitness room, and free diving lessons as well as boat and bike rental and mini-cruises or sea-kayaking in the bay.

Good noises generally about the restaurant, too, or rather both restaurants. One overlooks the bay and has a heated infinity pool and jacuzzi in the centre (so you can eat with your bikini on perhaps? One way of stopping yourself stuffing your face...). The Ostrako restaurant is a heavier affair, with poshed-up Greek-style food.

Find yourself a Captain Corelli and dig up some buried treasure to pay for the stay - word is, it's not cheap, but as always in Greece you get what you pay for.
