Fifty metres from Agia Roumeli’s pebble beach, the family-run Artemis has 11 spacious self-catering studios with balconies; studios accommodate up to four people. It's a good bet if you want to be near the water and away from the crowds. The owners provide info on local hill walks, too, and there's a taverna 100m away.
