Myriam Studios

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.
