Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Mylopotas
Best for Beach loversMylopotas is the island's most popular bay, featuring a long sweep of golden sand lined with tavernas and beach clubs. It is highly convenient for those who want to split their time between swimming and visiting nearby Chora.
Chora
Best for Dining and nightlifeThe island's main village is a traditional Cycladic settlement of whitewashed alleys and hilltop views. It is the central hub for local restaurants, bars, and transport connections.
Papas Beach
Best for Seclusion and privacySituated on the rugged south-east coast, this remote bay offers dramatic landscapes far from the island's busiest hubs. The area is defined by quiet beaches and limited development.
Areas to consider
Travellers seeking a quiet holiday should note that staying directly in Chora can bring significant late-night noise from bars during the peak summer months.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
