Mr and Mrs White

Laid back and simple, Mr and Mrs White takes modern facilities and blends them with the Ancient Greek tradition of hospitality.

Each room has been decorated in keeping with the Cycladic architecture and design, some with sea views, garden views or pool views. The isolation means a peaceful nights sleep and a quiet day by the pool before grabbing a cab and heading into Naoussa for sunset drinks and an authentic Greek dinner.

Mr and Mrs White offers a more affordable boutique experience on an island that is becoming increasingly more expensive.

Prices start at £99 per night
