Stay in a mini holiday resort, all to yourself, at this lavish home on the Athenian Riviera. Three separate villas make up the accommodation, all sharing plush outdoor space for the group to socialise in style. Pad barefoot around the manicured Mediterranean gardens, blooming with flowers, olive trees and fragrant shrubs. Lavender surrounds the pristine swimming pool and, from here, you can catch a glimpse of the Evian Gulf, flanked by mountains through the ancient trees. Dining is a delight beneath the terracotta-roofed gazebo and a fully-stocked bar can provide the sundowners. True to any luxurious resort, there are staff on-hand to arrange your every whim – a boat trip around the Riviera, at-home massages or perhaps a private chef.

Each of the three villas is a modern haven inside, with plush sofas adorning each living room and glass doors letting the sunlight stream in. The palette is a neutral mix of stone, wood and sea-blue with seashell curtains, maritime paintings and beachy ceramics a nod to your waterside location.

You’ve got direct access to the sea from the villa, so there’s no need to put your shoes on to reach the crystal shallows on the shore. And if you fancy a day trip to Athens, it’s less than an hour by car.

If you’re on the lookout for chic design, epic sea views and a beach on your doorstep, this is it. Perched on Evia’s seafront, this eye-popping seven-bedroom villa delivers on style. An infinity pool of dreams glimmers ahead of the stunning, architect-built home. Sink into an outdoor sofa with a glass of wine and watch the sea sparkle. Bliss. Or potter down to the peaceful beach where loungers are waiting. 

Inside, expect some ultra-cool styling. Bold prints on the wall and wood floors keep things homely and welcoming. Bedrooms are roomy and come with en-suites and ocean views. Whip up a feast in one of two kitchens, or fire up the barbecue.

Spend days swimming in the sea or lounging poolside. If you can drag yourself away, Anthidona is your nearest village, 2km away. Or head a little further to Eretria (25kn) for a dose of history.

In the evening, sizzle up a storm at the villa's private barbecue, before stepping out of the front gate and taking a leisurely, meandering stroll along the neighbouring beach.

On days when adventure is all you can think about, venture out to the Capital City of Athens, where you can enjoy endless shopping, dining and tourist opportunities.

This amazing Greek villa is located on the North-East coast of the Island of Kea. The stone house looks out over the beautiful turquoise ocean with a view of the island of Euboea and the coast of Attica. 

The perfect home for relaxing and recovering, why not take so time to lounge in the Greek sunshine and enjoy the warmth of its rays on your skin. Then, slip into the cooling waters of the freshwater swimming pool, and enjoy the stunning views while you float leisurely in the pool. 

Just a six-minute drive to Otzias, you can enjoy the sandy beaches and soothing sound of waves lapping at the shore, or dine in one of the local Tavernas. The village of Vourkari – just an eight-minute drive away – provides an opportunity for not only beach days but also scuba diving experiences. 

Coressia, the island’s port, is just a twelve-minute drive away, while the capital Ioulis is a twenty-five-minute drive away.

What’s more, there is a regular ferry connection between Athens and Kea which takes about an hour, taking you to the Lavrion port. From here, you can drive about fifty-six minutes to Greece’s capital and explore everything Athens has to offer. 

After all your exploring, return home to the villa in the evening and cook some delicious souvlaki on the barbecue before dining alfresco as you enjoy the sun setting over the vista.

Famed for being the filming location of the blockbuster musical hit ‘Mamma Mia,’ the island of Skopelos is every bit the natural wonderland the film depicted.

Inside, a sleek modern decor invites you to kick back and relax in the bright living area, while upstairs the two bedrooms offer a magical wake-up with their glorious hilly views and luxurious bedding. With three bathrooms here too, there’s no chance of an SOS when it comes to taking turns under the luxurious rainfall showers. 

Step outside to be met with a spectacular outdoor space – you’ll find time slipping through your fingers as you chill out on the sunbeds and while away sunny hours in the L-shaped infinity pool. As evening falls, fire up the barbecue and retreat to the pergola’s table for an alfresco feast, before finishing the night with a starlit soak in the hot tub. 

With a Sonos sound system to delight any dancing queen, as well as Greek toiletries and Netflix to enjoy, when all is said and done, you’re in for a blissful time. 

When it comes to exploring the local area, drive ten minutes to explore Skopelos Town and enjoy a day by the sea at Paralia Glifoneri (a ten-minute drive) or lovely Limnonari Beach (a fifteen-minute drive).

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.

Nestled just outside the small town of Otzias, there’s not a lot going on in this quiet corner of Greece, but you’ll have a variety of amenities at your fingertips that will make it difficult to leave this inviting home. Designed to take full advantage of the Mediterranean climate, it features a spacious outdoor entertainment area that wraps around the home. The communal spaces, like the infinity pool, barbecue and cosy seating zones, make it an ideal choice for a large family or group of friends. The Aegean Sea is steps away, but the shoreline is rocky, so you’ll need to drive to a local beach if you want to comfortably swim in the sea.

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you vacation in Quiet Coast Retreat, located betwixt and between the city of Athens, and the beaches of the east coast of the Greek mainland, on the azure Aegean Sea. This impressive four-storey, detached villa, can be found nestled in the quiet suburb of Artemis, fifteen minutes from Athens' international airport, and near to the golden sands of the Attica coastline. The property has four spacious double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to nine guests, ideal for a large family holiday or friends' get-together...

Quiet Coast Retreat

For a characterful, scenic stay on a staggeringly beautiful Greek island, choose this blue-and-white villa with mesmerising sea views. Flourishing olive and palm trees huddle around the two-bedroom home and its pool, providing that all-important privacy and seclusion you've been seeking.

When you're not sunbathing poolside or dining on the terrace, enjoy the mood-lifting aesthetic that's carried through the villa. It begins with the punchy blue shutters and continues with the technicolour textiles in the open living space. We're particularly fond of the Persian-style rugs scattered across the rooms, adding a homely and bohemian flair.

The picturesque port of Loutraki is just a fifteen-minute walk away. Watch fishing boats come and go as you sip coffee at a waterfront taverna. If you're up for a drive, Skopelos town is forty minutes away – pass through luscious landscapes on your way, peppered with red-roofed buildings and traditional churches. When you arrive, meander through colourful narrow streets lined with craft shops and tavernas, overlooking the azure-hued Aegean sea.

A Song to Sing

Though the idea of being secluded on an island might not ordinarily conjure up a romantic image, this home on a Greek private island is quite the opposite. Located in the Cyclades, the estate stretches across 900 acres, enabling you and the rest of the group to rejuvenate in a picturesque and tranquil setting. 

Spend mornings meditating on the jetty before enjoying a cup of coffee with an alfresco breakfast. With plenty of outdoor seating options, there’s one perfect to every situation – stealing away for a romantic drink overlooking the water, reading with your feet in the sand of your private beach, or playing board games with a drink in hand. 

Inside you’ll glimpse elements of Cycladic architecture throughout the home, especially in the master bedroom, where the fireplace sits proudly. Though the crisp white colour palette and natural elements found around the house is lovely, the natural beauty outside is hard to compete with. If you wish to explore it in greater detail, you can utilise several cycling and walking routes or take to the waters by boat if you’d like to go further afield. For an even more unique experience, why not join a fisherman on his boat for the day? 

Engaged couples might also be won over by the private chapel and make the island their wedding destination.

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.

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

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 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. Put your feet up on the sofa as you watch a movie together on the TV, or unwind with a bottle of red while you read a brand new book. 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.

Located in Kea, this villa offers a slower pace of life than some of Greece’s more famous islands. With plenty of quiet beaches to choose from, you’ll be able to explore sandy shores each day, but if you’d rather relax at home there are a number of outdoor spots from which to soak up incredible ocean views (our favourite being the private pool). Another highlight is the small guest house with a double and a single bed, which is perfect for a small family looking for a little extra privacy. 

A Spot of Serenity 

Tucked away on the island of Kea, this villa is one of three properties on the complex, located in the area of Akrotiri Otzia. Surrounded by serene natural beauty and an infinity of blue, from here, you'll get to lap up sparkling sea views from the moment you arrive. 

The picturesque terrace boasts a private swimming pool, plenty of comfy seating areas, sun loungers and a grand alfresco dining area under a shaded pergola. Meanwhile, the villa's interiors nod to the harmonious white and blue colour palette often seen in the Cyclades. In addition, natural materials such as stone and wood create a laid-back ambience offering a constant reminder of your stunning Greek island location. 

With direct access to the sea (if you follow the stairs leading to a small bay with pebbles), you'll have the sun, sea and oh-so-majestic views at your fingertips here. And with the local restaurants less than a ten-minute drive away, you'll have the option to dine by the beach when you don't feel like cooking at the villa.

Start your day with breakfast, then stroll through the lush gardens, spend hours relaxing on a comfortable lounge chair by the sparkling infinity pool, and listen to the soothing sound of nature that surrounds this enchanting villa located in picturesque Egina Islands. While its state-of-the-art amenities provide modern comfort, the interiors of this luxury villa exude classical beauty with gracious living rooms featuring wooden floors, vaulted ceilings, and mosaic installations on the walls. Discover hidden doors, ornate side tables, and colorful artwork that enhance the charm of each room. The sun terrace and swimming pool area can be accessed from the spacious living rooms, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

The first floor offers five sunlit double rooms with en-suite bathrooms and balconies, while the attic features additional living space and three more double rooms. A separate quarter on the lower level provides two en-suite double bedrooms with a private entrance, a bar, pool table, and tennis table.

Aqueous Ode

In the warm waters of the Aegean sea, Alonissos plays host to gorgeous beaches, ancient historical sites, and the vibrant port town of Patitiri. From here, you could board a catamaran to start an island-hopping tour of the Aegean, or you could take an eleven-minute drive to this utterly blissful villa.

Isolated from urban areas, this home really plays into the charming serenity of its surroundings.  Set over two floors, this bright white villa looks traditional from the outside. Sandwiched between blue skies above and the blue waters of your private freshwater pool below, the exterior colour scheme might remind you of a certain national flag. This Greek theme continues with olive trees and a welcome basket full of local wine and fresh fruits. Pour a glass to sip as you explore the grounds, passing below the shaded dining terrace and into the minimalist interiors.

Wooden ceilings with white painted beams mix traditional architecture with a fresh, modern colour scheme. This continues throughout the kitchen, living spaces, and upstairs into the elegant bedrooms. With open ensuites and views of leafy trees, you’ll love relaxing in these zen-like spaces after a long day out in the sun.

Fig & Grape

Located atop a rocky bar of Koundouros, this home is made up of independent lower and upper levels, each with their own kitchen and living areas. Outside, the terrace is well-equipped for soaking up the sun or alfresco dining, with lovely sea views and private sea access on the rock platforms below. Things might be a bit of a squeeze at full capacity, so you'll want to pack light. A ten-minute walk will bring you to the nearest sandy beaches of Koundouros, and you'll find beach bars, tavernas and water sports.

Turquoise Charm

Home Cinema Setup

Underfloor Heating

Sparkling sea views, oodles of balconies and a dazzling pool for swims in the sun – what more could you want for a holiday in Greece? Bright, serene and stylish, this modern villa has four floors of contemporary conveniences, from the compact gym and TV lounge downstairs to the light-filled living space on the second floor. There's even an in-house elevator, so you won't need to worry about dragging your baggage up and down all the steps. 

We love a lot about this villa – underfloor heating, mood lighting, rainfall showers – but our favourite has to be the lavish main suite. Set on the entirety of the top floor, not only does it have a jacuzzi tub in the en-suite bathroom, but a private balcony, where you can savour your morning coffee and admire the ebb and flow of the ocean. In the afternoons, sip wine in the sunshine and cool off with a dip in the pool. When you're feeling peckish, rustle up something delicious in the high-spec kitchen and dig in on the grassy courtyard, then make your way out to the many balconies and watch as the sun dips below the horizon.

When you fancy venturing out, it's just a five-minute drive to Althea Beach and thirty minutes to Athens, so you'll have a choice between sand and surf or city sightseeing – we think that's the best of both worlds.

Myths of Lore

Although this home's location on the Athenian Riveria means that there's a colossal amount to see and do nearby, the villa itself feels perfectly secluded — the sort of place where you can glide through the swimming pool, soak up the sunshine on a lounger or cook up a storm on the barbecue with nary a distraction.

The interior is typically Mediterranean in style, with tiled flooring, white walls and large glass windows to maximise upon the plentiful amounts of natural light. That being said, there are a few design touches that add a little luxury, such as the sculpture collection and glass dining table.

If you're partial to a day at the seaside, you're in luck — Limani Passa and the 500-metre long Pountazeza take ten and fifteen minutes to reach on foot respectively. The Temple of Poseidon is an eleven-minute drive down the coastline, as well.

  

Sculpted by the Gods

Looking out over the Corinthian Gulf, sitting on the balcony at this stylish villa is like having an amphitheatre seat overlooking one of mother nature’s greatest shows. Especially at sunset. There’s a terrace for outdoor dining as misty mountains loom across the ocean, and a bench and chairs for cocktails on the lawn. 

Inside, it’s crisp white walls with sheer curtains that billow in the sea breeze. Driftwood accents throughout keep that beachy feel, but there’s something modern and sleek about the big, bright kitchen. Bedrooms are soothing spots to unwind, but the master bedroom cinches it with its private balcony overlooking the sparkling sea beyond.

In terms of location, you’re a ten-minute walk from the beach where crystalline shallows lap at a sandy shore. And, while there’s a shop and café a short walk away in Melissi village, the seaside resort town of Xylokastro with a selection of bars, restaurants and supermarkets is a ten-minute drive. 

The Pull of the Moon

Nestled on the edge of a cliff, close to Peloponnese's coastline, you'll find this smart villa. Tranquil and chic, it's the perfect place to switch off and enjoy exploring the Greek peninsula's beautiful landscapes and charming towns. 

Step inside, and you'll find a sophisticated space with a soothing colour scheme and plenty of natural textures. Pour a glass of Greek wine and kick back on the sofa as you plan your itinerary in these stylish surroundings. When you get hungry, you can cook your favourite dishes in the slick kitchen – or, head outside to the garden and light up the barbeque for a delicious alfresco feast as you admire the sea views. 

If you're craving some Vitamin Sea, it's easy to walk down to the local beach – you'll arrive at the sandy shoreline of Paralia Melissi within fifteen minutes. There are plenty of gorgeous towns to explore along Pelopenesse's coastline, so make sure you organise a road trip to discover some hidden coves and awe-inspiring maritime views. And, if you head inland, you can join some incredible hiking trails that will take you to rural villages and hilltop churches in the mountains. 

Peninsula Panorama

One of a collection of four villas in the middle of the island of Alonissos, this home's surroundings couldn't be more Mediterranean if they tried – olive trees, herb bushes and rocky terrain fill the garden, while the dazzling blue Aegean Sea stretches out to the distant horizon.

There are plenty of spots from which to appreciate this dreamy landscape. On hot days, the infinity swimming pool will likely be the top choice, but the loungers on the terrace enjoy an equally lovely vantage point. As well as that, there are a pair of balconies on the home's first floor which also offer a superb panorama.

That's quite enough about views, though. Behind the villa's yellow walls, you'll find an interior that combines rustic features and earthy colours with enough contemporary flourishes, like the flowery armchair and abstract artworks, to stop it from feeling dated. One of our favourite features is the pair of Jacuzzi tubs in the bathrooms that makes it easier than ever to completely switch off and relax.

Of course, there's only so long that you can gaze at the sea before the temptation to go for a swim proves too much. Fortunately, the nearest beach – Tourkoneri – is only seven minutes' drive away. The port town of Patitiri is only ten minutes away too when you fancy a meal out in a seafront restaurant.

Indulge in the ethereal ambiance that envelops Villa Forest, where tranquility and serenity converge. Nestled on a cliffside overlooking the azure sea, this sanctuary offers respite from the outside world. The gentle sea breeze and the rhythmic symphony of crashing waves create a soothing atmosphere, beckoning visitors to unwind and find solace. The vibrant hues of the surrounding flora infuse the air with a lively energy, harmonizing with the serene surroundings. Spread across two levels, its design seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape, immersing guests in an enchanting coastal experience...

Ethereal Sanctuary

This gorgeous little villa apartment overlooks the glittering Aegean sea, and is perfect for those who want somewhere that's just as cosy as it is beautiful. Surrounded by spectacular views, you'll be rearing to explore Skiathos Island. Set in a complex of two villas, both bedrooms in this home have their own private entrances, with a common sitting and dining area and a sea view that will make you never want to look away. Enjoy home-cooked meals as you gaze out at the Aegean horizon, whether you whip up a small snack with the well-equipped kitchenette inside the living space or ask your host to deliver you some wonderful local meals to try. Although there is another villa in this complex, it has its own private pool so you'll have this one all to yourself. Go for a dip, rinse off with the outdoor shower and dry off on the sun loungers as the Greek sun beats down.

This home lends itself perfectly to those who are hoping to explore the beauty and magic of this island and the rest of the Sporades archipelago. There's plenty to do, from water sports at the beaches on the island's southern side where you can try your hand at paragliding and waterskiing, to hiking through the lush countryside and seeing sights you'll never forget. You may not be able to cook up any feasts at the villa, but you won't have to – you'll be close to some fantastic restaurants and bars, where you can discover your new favourite meal.

Journey of a Thousand Miles

Luxury Toiletries

Just steps away from the water's edge, with views across the Aegean Sea, you'll find this stunning villa. It's the perfect place to reset and relax in style – gather up your favourite people and get ready to make some fabulous memories in the Greek sunshine. 

There's a distinct sense of calm throughout the home, thanks to the natural fabrics and abundance of natural light. Three of the four bedrooms offer direct access to the balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee and breathe in the fresh air. If you follow the steps at the bottom of the garden, you will arrive at your very own little pebble beach and take a refreshing dip in the sea on hot days. And, there's also an alfresco Jacuzzi, which is ideal for long, luxurious soaks under the stars each evening.

It would be easy to never leave this little slice of paradise – especially since your host can organise luxurious extras like butler service and private yoga sessions. However, Astir Beach, with its crystal clear waters, is just a four-minute walk away, as is Vouliagmeni Beach, complete with volleyball courts and a childrens' play area. And, if you fancy heading into Athens to see the sights, then you can drive to the historic city in just half an hour.

Athenian Riviera

On the western coast of Skiathos, striking beaches and bays are waiting to be explored. While the bustling town of the same name is just a twelve-minute drive from this beachside wonder, you might already be occupied by watersports, hidden coves, and sunbathing. Less than fifty metres from the golden sands of Vromolimnos Beach, this charming villa-apartment sets the tone for the Greek island escape of your dreams. 

With your host on hand to arrange transfers and help sort out any coastal activities you fancy, it feels like luxury from the offset. As you arrive and wander across the grounds, you might even forget how close you are to the sea. Lush, green lawns, lively bushes, and leafy trees welcome you to the residents’ garden – a lovely spot to hide from the midday sun while nibbling olives and sipping wine.

As you head inside for a top-up, you’ll pass under the rich wood of your beamed ceilings. Modern yet understated, the living space features wicker and woven pieces which contribute to the theme of nature. Spend the evening out on the balcony, where there’s also an alfresco dining set and barbecue – anyone for a traditional grill for dinner?

The Kamara Dance

Sitting close to the northern tip of the isle of Kea, it's hard to imagine a more peaceful location for a Greek getaway. Indeed, you'll never tire of the views of the Ionian Sea enjoyed from the home's outdoor space, which also features a swimming pool and lots of space for alfresco dinners. The living quarters quite sensibly don't try to compete with these wonderful surroundings and are simple in style. The fact that there are two separate guest houses on the site might be handy for separate families or large friendship groups paying a visit, as well.
