Hidden amid a sea of olive trees, 12km northwest of Limni, Eleonas delights with its 10 rustic-modern balconied rooms (some with bunks) and sweeping views. Knowledgeable owner Marina (who weaves the beautiful carpets) welcomes guests with fresh lemonade and breakfasts of home-baked bread, own-grown organic olive oil and other Evia goodies. Home-cooked dinners (€18.50), yoga, hiking trips and more available.
