If you were looking for perfect locations in which to build a home, this spot on the southeastern Peneloponese coastline would be a strong contender. Surrounded by lush vegetation — including trees growing olives, almonds, pears and lemons — it also has the added perk of having direct access to a secluded beach.

Part of a collection of five villas, this home makes the most of its beautiful position with a long terrace area containing an alfresco dining table, a couple of loungers and even a giant chess set. The interior has plenty of glass doors and large windows so you can still marvel at the scenery from inside, too. We're big fans of the decor, which is contemporary in style but subtle and unshowy about it.

As well as Kissakas beach almost quite literally on your doorstep, there are further seaside options a short drive away — like Tserfos just over a quarter of an hour's drive — as well as plenty of hiking routes and the town of Leonidio about fifteen minutes away in the car.

Take a three-minute drive down into the village of Tolo to visit the long sandy beach and dine on fresh seafood at the local tavernas. The historic town of Nafplio is just twelve minutes away by car, where you'll find fascinating museums, winding streets, and even an imposing castle. And, then at the end of the day, you can head home for a long soak in the hot tub under the stars – bliss.

Nestled in the seaside village of Verga, near the Greek city of Kalámata, this charming villa awaits. Offering panoramic views of the Messenian gulf and the surrounding Taygetus mountains, this home offers a beautiful base from which to explore the southern coast.

The pebbly beaches nearby make for peaceful days out on the shore, but if you’re craving something a little more fast-paced, Kalámata Old Town's maze of cobbled streets are brimming with artisanal shops, museums, cafes and bars. For an insight into the city's rich history, the surrounding castles are also well worth a visit.

The terrace is definitely at the heart of this home, boasting a private swimming pool, comfy sun loungers and a barbecue. If you fancy a private dinner at home, grab some local seafood and fire up the grill. There are plenty of cosy spots from which to catch a sunset - pour yourself a glass of wine and take a seat on the balcony for the best views in the house.

A Piece of the Peloponnese

The southern Peloponnese is known for its beautiful golden beaches, charming old-world villages and archaeological sites steeped in history. And from this spot in Valira, you'll be well-placed to make the most of it. Hop in the car to explore this picturesque region and you'll find something new at every turn. Head to Bouka Beach for a dip in the sea (just 18km away), nibble on the namesake olives in Kalamata's local eateries or step back in time at the ruins in Ancient Messene. 

Whatever you get up to, you'll love returning to this cosy home after a long day. Open a bottle of Greecian wine and enjoy it alfresco on the patio, breathing in the fresh air. Better yet, take a seat on the balcony and watch the sun dip below Valira's horizon as you dig into a feast prepared on the barbecue. The two outside spaces are hard to resist, but the open-plan layout inside is just as relaxing. Everyone can kick back, put their feet up and chill out together until bedtime, when the comfortable bedrooms are sure to be calling your name.

Inside, the home is charming and contemporary. The main bedroom with its olive green feature wall and door out onto the terrace promises a comfortable, quiet spot to rest your head at the end of a busy day exploring the Peloponnese peninsula. If you’re not tempted to one of the nearby restaurants to indulge in a spot of local cuisine, your kitchen is more than capable of testing your culinary skills. Friends and family can gather at the table sharing stories as the nominated cook for the evening rustles up a delicious home-cooked meal. With great food, great company and the benefit of such a calm setting, you’ll feel utterly relaxed and completely at home.

Surrounded by flourishing greenery in a quiet corner of Kalamata, there's a refined sophistication to this villa. Much of this is down to the selection of furnishings and finishes to be found throughout, from the Venetian armchairs and the ornate chandelier to the selection of famous artistic prints dotted about the space.

However, it's not just an address that looks good on the surface – it's somewhere in which you'll find it wonderfully easy to turn off and relax. When the weather's warm, the verandah is the place to sit and gaze up at the Peloponesse skyline, but if the temperature takes a dip, you can retire next to the wood-burning fireplace or treat yourself to a long soak in the bathtub.

And of course, there will be some afternoons when the only place for it is the beach and Kalamata's main stretch of sand is only 800 metres away. You'll find a good selection of restaurants and bars along the seafront, too. Further afield, the towns of Ancient Thouria are only 30 kilometres away and well worth a visit.

Situated eight minutes from the historic city centre on the sun-soaked Peloponnese peninsula, this sprawling villa commands indoor-outdoor living. Your mornings will begin with a breakfast of freshly strained Greek yoghurt and fruit picked from your garden – choose to tuck in on the terrace or at the dining table in the elegant living space. 

Bob about in your private pool while soaking up the unobstructed views of the Messinian Gulf and when it’s time to kick back and relax, recline on a lounger in the glorious sunshine. Should you need to take a break from the heat, mix up refreshing cocktails in the kitchen as the big and little kids alike battle it out on the PlayStation Four. 

Spend afternoons exploring the coast – Kalamata Beach is only five minutes away – or head inland to the town of Sparti for its legendary history and quiet family-run tavernas. When it’s time to call it a day, return home to watch the sunset from your enviable vantage point as the city lights appear on the horizon.

Dazzling Horizon

You’ll find this elegant home in the sun soaked Peloponnese, a short drive from the lively seaside city of Kalamata. Inside, rooms are decorated in creamy tones and filled with antique furnishings – we particularly loved the merlot red sofa in the living space. After waking up with a coffee at the breakfast bar, step into the sunshine on the balcony and breathe in the fresh air. Gaze across the glittering seascape as you lap up Greek yoghurt at the alfresco dining table before sliding on your sandals and exploring your surroundings. 

Take the short drive over to Almiros Beach for a dip in the warm Mediterranean then nip over to Kalamata for its picturesque old town, selection of museums and long stretch of golden sand. Come evening, pick out a local restaurant for traditional dishes or return home for a slap-up barbecue and a couple of glasses of wine at sundown.

Seaside Flow

Sitting on the southern coastline of the Peloponesse, the seafront city of Kalamata brings together wonderful beaches, mouth-watering cuisine and historic architecture that wears the region's history on its sleeve. This simple but stylish maisonette puts you in an excellent position to see the best attractions.

There's a contemporary sheen to the interior design, with Scandi-inspired furnishings and smart wooden floors rubbing shoulders with bursts of bright colours and artwork on the walls. The narrow shape of the space means that there aren't all too many windows and natural light, but there's a good amount of spotlights to combat any potential dullness.

When it comes to getting to know Kalamata, the central location means you're close to everything from restaurants and the harbour to the open-air railway museum set within a large park. The historic centre is just over a kilometre to the north, while the long and sandy Kalamatis beach sits a similar distance away in the opposite direction.

With two terraces at your disposal, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend the rest of the evening in the open air, sipping a cool glass of wine as you watch the sun go down over the city’s rooftops.

Beach House

Herb Garden

What better base in the ancient-ruin-filled peninsula of the Peloponnese than a neo-classic villa that radiates Grecian charm. This place was originally built in 1893 and is set in over 35,000 square metres of manicured grounds like a lavish country escape fit for nobility. The Mediterranean gardens are filled with blooming flowers, fragrant jasmine and wisteria, and you can help yourself to the vegetables, strawberries, peaches and apricots ripening in the sun. Outdoor lounges come swathed with white curtains, loungers are shaded by ancient olive trees and there’s a tennis court/basketball court and swimming pool for those that like to keep active. Underground changing rooms provide a bit of privacy. Perhaps head up to the rooftop terrace – a real sun-trap during the day. 

There’s a sense of luxurious nostalgia inside. Intricately carved armchairs reminiscent of medieval thrones sit in front of a brick fireplace in the main living room and oil paintings adorn the walls. Should you need to work remotely, there’s a dedicated office room with stacks and stacks of books to choose from too. Bedrooms continue the theme of grandeur with gilded mirrors and wrought-iron bed-frames. 

In terms of location, the Peloponnese has that distinct Greek Island feel, and the soft-sanded beach of Agia. Marina, lined with restaurants and bars, is just a five-minute walk away. 

Lady Ariadne

This cute little studio sits within the olive-grove countryside of the Peleponnese. With its own private terrace, you can gaze out over ancient olive trees, rugged hills and a patchwork of farmland. Out here, it’s pure peace and quiet, but you can head to Kritika Beach, a five-minute drive or half-hour walk away for a day on this popular stretch of sand. Or, head into the buzzing coastal town of Methoni for local tavernas and an ancient castle overlooking the beach (it’s a seven-minute drive).

Days here are designed to be spent outdoors. Your little studio may be kitted out with everything you need for a relaxing break – a full kitchen, comfy bed and distinctly Greecian traditional decor – but it’s the terrace that takes the biscuit. Flamingo-pink patio furniture enjoys an exceptional view of the surrounding countryside. Then there are the shared facilities for the whole complex. A turquoise pool invites you for a dip, and there’s a bar onsite for sundowners, snacks and your morning coffee.

Siren's Lullaby

Sweeping sea views take centre stage at this chic maisonette set along the Mani Peninsula in the village of Neochori. Part of an intimate holiday complex, you’ll share the stylish swimming pool and communal terraces with a handful of other apartments. But that private sea-facing balcony at the apartment to enjoy complimentary breakfasts delivered to your door is all yours. You’ll need a car to explore the nearby seaside villages of Stoupa and Agios Nikolaos (a five-minute drive). Or let your host arrange an excursion to Limeni, Areopolis or the impressive Diros Caves. 

Honey Hued Sun

Lift Access

This sleek apartment is within walking distance of the Athens coast, with great sea views. While the minimalist design might not be for everyone, the location is ideal for those who don't want to be in the centre of the city. The outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at sunset and offers unobstructed views of the Aegean sea. You'll want a car for heading into central Athens, but it's an easy walk to restaurants, cafes, and the sandy Yabanaki beach.

Gods of Attica

Games Room

If you’re on the lookout for a super-house for multiple families, in a spectacular island setting, this is it. Standing high on a hill on stunning Aegina Island, the home is perfectly placed. The 180-degree ocean views are epic from here. But the buzzy city centre is pleasingly close enough just 4km away. 

The villa is set over four levels, with plenty of space for a gang of eighteen. The vibe is relaxed, with lots of colour and homely touches. Families will especially love it here. Table tennis, giant chess, a playground and basketball facilities mean the kids are well catered for. Meanwhile, the grown-ups can recline with a book by the oh-so-chic infinity pool. Heaven. 

If you can drag yourself away, it’s worth exploring this beautiful island. Your nearest beach is Marathonas – its shallow water makes it a great spot for little ones to swim. Or don your best hiking shoes and explore the nature-rich mountains where there are ancient chapels to discover. 

Then head home, fire up the built-in barbecue and feast with your loved ones as the sun sets over the ocean. 

Far And Wide

This sleek and stylish villa awaits you with gorgeous views overlooking the surrounding area from the balcony. Natural daylight pours in through the large windows, doubling up as doors that grant you direct access to the outdoor space.

You don't have to worry about missing out on your exercise routine while you're staying here, with a handy at-home gym you can keep your beloved workout routine. 

Cook up a delicious homemade meal inspired by the Grecian cuisine you'll be sampling during your time here. Tuck into the hearty plate of food at the wooden dining table – washed down with a glass of bubbly and paired with a scenic view by the window. Two of the bedrooms give you access to the outdoors, with one leading to the balcony and the other to the refreshing pool. The large windows in these bedrooms allow ample daylight to stream in, as well as provide an absolutely beautiful view of the sunset. Relax by the pool as you bathe in the amber glow of the evening or take a dip as you admire the encompassing landscape.

Head out to visit Althea Beach where you can spend your days by the sea, listening to the ocean waves as you relax under the sun with a refreshing drink. Take a drive along the coastline where you'll find Beach Duni Island – a fantastic spot to take those much-loved holiday snaps. 

Blue Paradise

Found on the Athenian Riviera, a stone's throw from Vouliagmeni Beach, this compact apartment is perfect for a small family of beach lovers. But though the sandy shores a ten-minute walk away is a major draw, there's plenty else to experience around here. The Vouliagmeni Lake, with its thermal springs, can be found in minutes, and you can walk to the restaurant-line square of Vouliagmeni in under ten. The home is spacious, bright and well-kept, with a little balcony for alfresco meals and peaceful reading.

This spectacular villa is sure to provide the perfect backdrop for your summer holiday. Just one look out over the water from your private pool deck will let you know you’re in a truly special place. This home is located 30 metres from the beach, and just outside pretty Petalidi, a little coastal village that offers a dreamy break to beach lovers and cobblestone street explorers alike. It offers the ideal retreat to return to when not out exploring the idyllic coast of this Greek haven.

Start your day by venturing out along the underground passage that goes directly from your home to the beach, and watch the sun come up over the gorgeous blue waves of the Messenian Gulf while you paddle on the shore. Come back up to your modern dwelling to grab yourself a delicious breakfast of Greek yoghurt with honey and granola, and tuck in at your stylish dining set. Make yourself up an ouzo cocktail and sit out on your stunning pool deck while gazing out over the sparkling sea view. Cool off from the midday sun with some lengths of your private pool, before reclining back on your hanging lounger chair. As the evening rolls in, make a pitcher of sundowners and sit out together on your outdoor table and chairs, and enjoy uninterrupted views of the sunset.

The communal spaces are thoughtfully designed for quality time together, while the bedrooms offer privacy and peace.

Located in the picturesque Peloponnesian region of Greece, this villa boasts a unique blend of contemporary design and classic comfort. Designed with outdoor living in mind, you’ll have a private infinity pool, alfresco dining terrace, vegetable garden and tennis courts to make use of. The kids are bound to appreciate the ping pong table, but if they tire of that they can always head down to the basement for a few games of pool or a movie night. Two beautiful beaches are just 400 metres away, and the local area is home to traditional Greek fish taverns and cafes which make for an authentic experience.

The Ethereal

Perched on a hilltop skirting the fishing village of Kilada, this villa is a bright and contemporary way to explore the historic Peloponnese. Visit the ancient Greek city of Mycenae or watch a theatrical performance in the Epidavros. Closer to home, you'll spot fish taverns and cafes, but with Doroufi and Vrochitsa both only 400m away, the beach might be your first stop. When you're home, there's a tennis court, games room, private pool, and barbecue to keep the whole family occupied. Throw in daily housekeeping and hand some of the itinerary planning over to your host, and you only have to worry about having too much fun.

The Oracle's Studio

Spend just a few moments relaxing on the balcony, drinking in the pretty-as-a-postcard views of Avlemonas Bay and you'll see why we love this apartment. The quiet character matches the idyllic setting – think soft blush-coloured walls, wooden ceilings adorned with beams and a mix of classic and contemporary furniture. Whether you're digging into breakfast of yoghurt and greek honey around the dining table, watching the boats go by with a glass of wine in the afternoons or dozing off in the comfortable bedrooms after a long day, it's hard not to feel right at home. 

One of the most picturesque villages on Kithira, Avlemonas is on the eastern part of the island yet still within driving distance to all the beaches and landmarks on both coasts. Even better is that tavernas, coffee shops and beaches are within walking distance – our favourite spot for a swim is the Baths of Venus, only a two-minute walk away. There's no beach, but the rocks are an excellent place to lay in the sun and cool off in the clear blue waters of the Myrtoan Sea. 

Venus At Dusk

Nestled within a garden of olive trees with views across the Taïgetos mountains, everything about this home celebrates the rustic beauty of its setting.

Inside, the interiors are refreshingly simple with vistas that will leave you feeling captivated by the charm of the Peloponnese. Outside, peaceful days can be spent relaxing in the garden or on nearby Pantazi beach (just a 250m walk away). The picturesque port is also nearby and provides the perfect opportunity to mingle with locals in traditional tavernas. And for explorations further afield, the region is brimming with beautiful beaches, coves, picturesque hilltop villages and spectacular hiking trails. 

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a sanctuary to rest, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living. Gather for dreamy sunset drinks, enjoy cooking with fresh local produce in the fully equipped kitchen or rustle up a treat on the barbecue. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, the air-conditioned rooms set the tone for a peaceful night’s rest, while the fire in the living room will keep you cosy in cooler months.

Lavender Sky

Surrounded by cypress and olive trees, this whitewashed home sits in perfect harmony with its natural environment.  Located in Zakynthos Town, with beautiful views across the Ionian Sea, this is the kind of home that inspires deep relaxation and rejuvenation. 

It’s also the ideal setting for families and friends to get together and celebrate island life. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, lighting up the barbecue or reading on the balcony, there’s a sense of ease throughout this home.
