The Best Hotels Near Casa Cook Samos, by the Record

Terracotta blocks clustered like a hillside village, connected by pools that catch the Aegean light, set the tone at this design-forward resort on Samos's eastern shore. Rooms come as swim-up suites, private-pool retreats, or rooftop escapes, all done in linen, rattan, and concrete. The Beach House handles food and cocktails by the firepit. Pythagoreio's harbor and tavernas are just beyond the gates, which is a useful corrective when the poolside spell gets too comfortable.

Grikos Bay sits right there through the window, a stretch of translucent blue framing bobbing sailboats and steep green islets, and the whole point of this small family-run boutique hotel built into the hill above it is that the view never really leaves you. Every room has a private balcony, breakfast goes on the breezy terrace, and the mosaic pool mirrors the same blue. Getting here takes some doing, which the guests who find it tend to consider a feature.
