Greece

Ionian Islands

Green islands, Venetian shutters

Softer and greener than the Aegean, with cypress running down to clear water. Best in shoulder season, when the ferries slow and the villages exhale.

Where to stay

Corfu, Greece

Nine plaster rooms above a cove on Corfu's west coast, built for people who want the sea and nothing else scheduled.

From €290 / night
