The entries in this guide are special in many different ways: we choose places for the warmth of their welcome, their style whether grand or not, their value for your money, & their wonderful locations. You'll find a gorgeous family villa hidden on its very own Cycladic beach, & a historic apartment tucked away in an island's Venetian citadel. But it's not just about the islands. The Peloponnese has Greece's highest concentration of ancient sites, its emptiest beaches & some fantastic places to stay, from restored medieval tower-houses to the elegant residences of neo-classical Nafplion. The mainland offers stunning mountain scenery & timeless villages, & you can choose between a cosy stone inn & a grand Ottoman seminary for a night. Our approach is unusual & subjective. There are no set rules, no interminable checklists & no hard & fast criteria for inclusion. We look for what we like, & celebrate the unusual, the beautiful & the individual. ...
