When it comes to Greek villas, it doesn't get more classic than this blue and white dream on the unspoiled island of Kalymnos. Steps from the Aegean Sea and equipped with a tranquil swimming pool, the four-bedroom villa offers unbeatable peace and beauty.

Start each morning with a revitalising dip,  overlooked only by low craggy hills and blossoming bougainvillaea flowers. Breakfast will taste all the more delicious with the sea view before you – serve it up on the shaded terrace and tune in to waves lapping beneath the chorus of cicadas. Inside the villa, traditional Greek decor has been embraced, with marine motifs and exposed stone accents keeping the space down-to-earth. Bright and air-conditioned, the living area is the perfect place for a sun break before heading out to explore. 

Massouri's idyllic sandy beach is just one mile away. Here, you'll have a choice of restaurants to settle in for a post-swim meal of fresh seafood and slow-cooked vegetables. On the other side of the island, Pothia is a spirited spot that will give you an authentic taste of Greek island living.

This whitewashed hideaway sets the tone for a laid-back stay on the dreamy island of Astypalea.

Featuring two jacuzzi pools alongside mesmerising Aegean views and soothing interiors, every detail evokes the magic of island living. From slow mornings sipping coffee on the terrace (breakfast is included) to lazy afternoons on a sun lounger and idyllic evening drinks on the terrace, you’ll find yourself captivated by the beauty of this location. 

Just a short walk from the centre of Astypalea Town, days can be spent drifting between the seafront and tiny tavernas, admiring the red-topped windmills and striking castle as well as mingling with locals as the sun sets over the harbour. Pera Gialos beach is also within walking distance, while the quiet beach town of Analipsi is just a short drive away. 

Honey & Thyme

An island washed in the colours of the Grecian flag, Astypalea is a quiet holiday destination that’s ideal for a peaceful break – and you’ll be perfectly placed for exploring all of it from this stunning villa. This home truly has it all – dreamy interiors, luxurious amenities, and an absolutely breathtaking view of Astypalea Castle – we reckon it’s one of the best on the island. As soon as you set foot out onto the terrace you’ll be amazed at the beauty of it all – the crystal-clear private pool where you can cool off, the sunken dining area that’s ideal for sipping sundowners, and comfy outdoor lounge areas where you can relax and take it all in. Considering the home sleeps just four, it’s particularly impressive just how much luxury the host has managed to squeeze in.

Head inside and you’ll be just as impressed – the home has a calming feel, with a neutral colour scheme combined with beam ceilings and built-in features that give it that quintessentially Greek vibe. The sunbeam-lit lounge area is perfect for settling down with a good book, while the dining area invites you to play some cards together in the evenings.

When you have a sea view at your disposal, the best homes make the most of it and that's certainly true of this villa overlooking the Ionian coastline. Located above the bay of Skala, this stone villa offers everything you could dream of and then some more. With epic sea views, luscious gardens, and a rustic interior, you're guaranteed to make some memories at this Greek oasis. 

Inside, you’ll feel how much thought has gone into this retreat. Authentic touches are everywhere – original beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and Cotto-tiled floors – creating a sense of rural calm. Wake up in your own oasis - each bedroom is engulfed in tranquillity with large windows inviting in the sea breeze. The comfortable living space opens out to a natural stone terrace overlooking the bay for prime sea views – it’s bliss.

Countryside charisma carries through to the outside here, with a panoramic-viewed balcony and soft daybeds to lounge on – absorb the island sun and dive into your new summer read. The pristine pool with superior seascapes is a highlight, whilst the ping pong table is the perfect interval for your morning tanning session.

Walk five minutes for an afternoon at Meloi beach, the waters are shallow and crystal clear, then settle into one of the local seafront tavernas for a selection of seafood and a glass of crisp and citrusy Robola, the town centre is a five-minute drive. When you’re ready, head home for a stargazing session on the balcony – it’s the perfect way to end a day in paradise.

Only mere steps from the sands of Mastichari Beach, this bright blue villa has a lot going for it besides its enviable spot. Out on the patio, there's a sparkling pool for afternoon dips, plenty of lounge chairs for lazing in the sun and an outdoor table underneath the pergola for alfresco dining. Whether you're splashing in the water or napping in the egg chair, fun in the sun comes easily here. Even better is the roof terrace, where you can soak up the ocean views with a glass of wine in the hot tub. Inside, there's no denying that this is a Grecian home. Blue and white dominate the colour scheme (although funky lights in the bedroom add a pop of green and orange), while gorgeous tiles in the kitchen are a nod to classic Greek design.

But the best part of all is the location. This villa is just steps from the seaside and only a few minutes' walk from the laid-back tavernas, beachfront bars and local restaurants in Mastichari. Take it slow and sprawl out on the sand or kick it up a notch with kitesurfing and kayaking. Ferries run daily to neighbouring Kalymnos if you fancy a bit of island hopping, but if you ask us, we'd be content to stay put, basking in the salty air. Between the seafront location, coastal scenery and the sunny terrace back at home, you can't go wrong.

Galateia

Self Check-in / Check-out

This stunning villa is located on a ten-acre plateau in the historical island of Epsimia Bay, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding seas and islands. The estate features a private pool with a sun terrace, and is just 150 meters away from Epsimia Beach. The villa has 5 bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and balcony with views of the island. Decorated and furnished in authentic local style, it aims to immerse guests in the original island life and traditions of Patmos. The villa features a fully equipped kitchen, ample dining areas both indoors and outdoors, and a living room with comfortable sofas and satellite TV. Free Wi-Fi and parking are available throughout. Guests can relax on the sun loungers by the pool or use the BBQ facilities. A roof garden with stunning sea views is also offered, as well as port and heliport shuttle service upon request.

You'll be green with envy when you find out how blissful staying at this villa truly is. It has a perfect outdoor seating area, so you can while away the hours bathing in the sun from your own home. The table has enough space to create a delicious breakfast spread, why not treat yourself to some sumptuous traditional Greek food? Wake up every morning to the sound of the ocean and a beautiful view of the Greek vista.

The closest beach is only a ten–minute walk away, so you can come and go as you please throughout your stay here. After a day lounging in the sun at Livadi beach, take a dip in the hot tub.

Olive Opal

Appearing like a wedding cake out of the verdant hills of Astypalaia, this palatial whitewashed structure has been converted into three design-led villas, and here is one of them. The interiors are enviably chic: smooth concrete floors, exposed stonework walls, and a grey-blue colour palette create the architectural ambiance, while statement lampshades, an indoor bamboo plant in the high-spec kitchen, and artful wall hangings provide idiosyncratic charm. The main bathroom is designed by the influential French architect Philippe Starke, and its sultry stonework wall gives it a grotto-like feel. 

There are balconies on the lower and upper levels, complete with a long banquette for lounging on and a table for alfresco meals. Come evening, whip up cocktails and hop into the jacuzzi as you admire the sun setting over the Aegean Sea. 

Astypalaia is the butterfly-shaped island in the Dodecanese that is rich in history and immaculately preserved. It hasn’t been tainted by the tourist trail, so you’ll find pristine beaches, wild hiking trails, and picture-perfect whitewashed houses. The house is 200 metres from the town of Astypalaia, and the crystalline waters of Livadi Beach are less than 2 kilometres away. Your host provides all sorts of bonus perks, like free transfer to and from the airport or port, welcome and farewell treats, and daily breakfast service.

Life on the farm doesn't get much better than this. Set on the outskirts of Salakos village, in the lush foothills of Mount Prophitis Ilias, it's a high-end villa surrounded by rich agricultural land. Olive groves, walnut trees and nearby glasshouses producing fruit and vegetables make this a slice of rural heaven, and every morning you'll be brought fresh produce, olive oil, eggs and bread from the farm.

Away from it all but just a fifty-minute drive from Rhodes Town, here you'll be able to experience a slower pace of life. Bask on your enormous deck, find a shady spot beneath the palms in your private garden or swim and play all day in your pool. An elegant and charming home, it's been built in the traditional style with plenty of character – think vaulted ceilings, bare stone walls and plenty of natural wood. It sits perfectly in its serene surroundings. 

Our pick of the rooms has to be the main living room here. With its open layout and fabulous high ceilings, there's something quite Hollywood about it. We love the leather sofas, the sleek, black kitchen and the green-framed window walls. But there's much more to explore, with a second living space and three beautiful bedrooms. There's even a home gym if you're feeling like some exercise.

In the evenings, light the barbecue and eat outside under the stars, or head into the village (where you'll find a couple of small eateries) or to the coast at Kamiros Beach for dinner in a seaside taverna. And there's plenty to explore locally too – don't miss a visit to the butterfly valley, the seven springs and a chance to go wine tasting.

Agrology Lux

Soak up stunning views of the Aegean from this gorgeous Grecian villa, based in the heart of Astypalea and close to the old windmills that this region is famed for. We love this home's traditional design, with grand archways and built-in furniture. Its main jewel is the luxurious spa pool, located up on the terrace – a rare find for such a small home – where you can float while you admire the vista. The kitchen is designed only for light bites and snacks, but with so many wonderful restaurants on your doorstep, you won't want to do much cooking here anyway.

Forbes Magazine once voted Patmos as “the most idyllic place to live in Europe”. This is Greece in its most authentic form and steeped in history. Bustling Chora with its shops and thriving restaurant scene is reached by car in seven minutes. A swim in the turquoise waters of Epsimia Bay is a 150m hop away. 

This spectacular home stands, perched on a hill, amid ten acres of peace and tranquillity. The panoramic ocean views are vast and fabulous. Nothing beats a swim in the dreamy infinity pool with the ocean spreading as far as the eye can see. Sigh. 

Inside, the home is Byzantine in style. Think clean and rustic with those sea views pouring in through every window. Two separate kitchens and a chic en-suite for each bedroom mean there’s plenty of space for a gang of fourteen. For some extra privacy, head up to the relaxing roof garden and watch the waves with a glass of something cold. Or chill on your bedroom balcony. 

After a day of swimming in the sea, or exploring local Grikos, fire up the barbecue for a starlit dinner. It doesn't get much better than this. 

Make For The Hills

Wake up each morning to a stunning expanse of azure sea and sky when you stay at this villa on Patmos island. Located in the upscale area of Epsimia Bay, the five-bedroom home guarantees true escapism, with only the rugged landscape and a thousand-year-old monastery as your neighbours.

Unspoiled beaches are one of Patmos' many charms. Just moments away, Epsimia's idyllic beach sits among low craggy hills, opening up to rich turquoise waters with uninhabited islets scattered across the horizon. The fishing village of Grikos is just a five-minute drive away – here, you'll find traditional tavernas serving exquisite seafood, as well as mini markets where you can pick up all the necessities.

But you may decide to spend most of your time on the serene grounds of the villa – and who could blame you? The large infinity pool provides panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding countryside, while the inside living space offers a comfortable retreat from the piercing Greek sun.  Whip up fresh lunches in the high-spec kitchen – think crusty, locally-made bread drizzled in peppery olive oil – and get settled at the shaded dining table to enjoy the simple pleasures of island life.

Poseidon's View

For groups planning a lavish trip to the gorgeous island of Samos, look no further than this show-stopping trio of villas. With awe-inspiring views across the Aegean Sea, an orchard, and even a vineyard, it's a true sanctuary where you can lose yourself in the island lifestyle.

Once you've picked your villa, you can settle in and admire the high ceilings and eclectic collection of furniture. There is plenty of space where you can flop down with a good book and hide from the heat, but we think you'll want to spend most of your time outside in the incredible grounds. Stroll through the olive groves, admire the flower gardens, and find hidden spots where you can look out across the bright blue water. When the temperature rises, you can plunge into the swimming pool, or wander down the steps to the nearby pebble beach for a dip. And, at dinner time, you can cook up your favourite dishes using local olive oil and produce from the vegetable patch – or, ask your host to organise a private chef to do the hard work for you. 

You could easily spend an eternity in this lavish complex, but if you want to explore the island then there's plenty to do nearby. The picture-perfect town of Karlovasi is only 3km away, where you can browse the market stalls and dine at delicious seafood restaurants. Beach fans can take a road trip around the coast, to explore the very best hidden coves with crystal clear waters. And, if you head inland, there are some stunning hiking trails to enjoy, along with rustic villages and hilltop churches to discover.

Greek Isles

Outdoor Kitchen

This beautiful home is a shining example of Greek design. A local architect worked closely with the owners to design a home made with local stone that combines traditional style with modern elegance. It’s the perfect holiday home for large groups as there are separate living areas – the studio apartment is ideal for those with a baby hoping for some space of their own. 

The interior is bright and cool, with beamed ceilings and huge windows that make it a real island retreat. Wake up in the morning to the sun streaming onto your pillow, and make your way straight out onto the terrace to stretch and breathe in the warm, sweet-scented air. 

The pool overlooks the sea, with mountain views and neighbouring islands dotted around on the horizon. There’s a sense of real tranquillity here, but you’re not far from the action. It’s just a nine-minute walk into the centre of Kampos, where you’ll find a tavern, bar and a playground. Skala, the main town, is a ten-minute drive away, so you can easily stock up on food. Kampos Beach is the most popular sandy stretch on the island, and it’s just five minutes by car from the villa. 

The magnificent Monastery of St John – a site of pilgrimage – is just fourteen minutes away. This historic spot is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is breath-takingly beautiful. After your visit, call into a taverna for a lunch of meze – this is what holidays are all about. 


Rugged Revelation

The Luxury Haven offers an idyllic and relaxing holiday experience in the charming town of Samos. Nestled in the tranquil 'Kedros' neighborhood, this villa boasts breathtaking views of the blue sea and green pine forests. Just 150 meters from the beautiful Kedros beach, it provides a perfect escape with mesmerizing surroundings. With 180m² of living space, this spacious villa comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests. The ground floor features a bright living room with a balcony overlooking the sea, a well-appointed kitchen with a large dining area, and a convenient WC. Upstairs, three luxurious bedrooms await, each with its own balcony offering panoramic sea views. Sun beds, outdoor furniture, and an exquisite garden with a barbecue are all available for guests to enjoy. Offering modern amenities and elegance throughout, the Luxury Haven is your passport to an unforgettable holiday in Samos.

The Summer Sun

The little island of Astypalea is something of an undiscovered gem in the Aegean Sea. This villa is just outside Astypalea Town (or Chora) with a beautiful view of the white houses layered up the hillside and crowned with an ancient castle (200 metres away). The sea is a short walk, with the island’s most famous beach, Livadi, 500 metres away. 

It may be a self-catered villa, but there are plenty of luxury touches that make a stay here as easy as a hotel. The welcome hamper and fresh fruit on arrival, daily housekeeping and breakfast served every morning, for example. There’s room to sit out on the private terrace and take in the view of ancient Astypalea Town rising before you, and a Jacuzzi provides the perfect end to a day of sightseeing. 

Inside, it feels like old-world Greece with candle-lit alcoves in the sleek stone walls and a cast-iron fireplace on display in the living area. We love the faded mosaic motif paired with a vintage-style oven in the kitchen. Sheer white curtains frame the four-poster in the main bedroom and there’s a raised platform in the living room with a bed for additional guests which can just be used as a spot to recline like a Sultan during the day.  

The Phoenician Princess

Just a stone's throw away from nearby Livadi beach, this villa has a gorgeous ashen palette and is the perfect size for a family holiday with children or a romantic getaway. After snuggling up in bed to watch a movie, step out onto the terrace to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the boats sail past. The bubbling hot tub is ready and waiting for you as you watch the twinkle of the lights in the distance. Listen to your favourite music on the terrace, accompanied by the sound of the coastal ocean below.

Fancy a day out at the shops? The central square of Astypalea is only a ten–minute walk away. Maybe some sightseeing is on your agenda for the day? The Astypalea Windmills are also a short walk away, perfect for a lovely family photo.

Sanctuary Of Stone

This Greek villa is perfect for guests who want to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy a tranquil, organic environment. The stucco finish of the villa blends in with the natural surroundings and provides stunning views of Megalo Seitani beach. Guests can relax on the villa's verandas, swim and snorkel at the property's two private coves, or lounge by the pool while taking in the views. The estate includes an olive grove, vegetable garden, vineyard, herb gardens, colorful flowers, and fruit trees all grown organically. The property has four bedrooms that can accommodate up to eight people with sea or mountain views. The villa features a fully equipped kitchen, generous living room with a fireplace, satellite TV, video, CD player, and internet access. All rooms have ample wardrobe space and marble finished bath/shower rooms. A trained chef can be arranged to prepare Greek country cooking using food items grown on the estate. Breakfast is included and guests can enjoy a combination of continental and English breakfast along with cakes and locally grown fruit served by friendly staff. Car is recommended for transportation.

Prehistoric Palace

Heated Towel Rail

Single-Level Home

It’s easy to see how this villa impresses, being perched above the Aegean with panoramic sea views. Expansive living spaces flow effortlessly into a designer kitchen, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sparkling infinity pool outside. Lounge on the sunbeds, cool off with a quick dip, or fire up the grill for an alfresco dinner with breathtaking vistas. Every bedroom has its own LED TV and minibar too – giving you a slice of privacy in larger groups. A short drive brings you to Bodrum’s beaches, boutiques, and vibrant dining scene, giving you a perfect blend of seclusion and city access.

Grand Oasis

This charming villa boasts an amazing view from the terrace of the surrounding vistas, we think it looks incredible at night time with the lights twinkling in the distance. Watch the sunset while relaxing in the hot tub, and treat yourself to a glass of bubbly. The outdoor seating area is perfect for tucking into a homecooked brunch with family and friends, accompanied by the gorgeous view of the Greek island. 

Only a short walk away from Livadi beach and Central Square, you'll have no shortage of exciting activities. Build sandcastles or shop till you drop, this island has it all.

Crystal Chimes

Hammock

If you're looking for sun, sea, and a true sanctuary, then you can't go wrong with this gorgeous villa. Located between the quaint village of Kalavarda and the ancient city ruins of Kameiros, it's a wonderful place to make some lasting memories. 

The interior is cosy and traditional – the welcoming vibe will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. Big windows bring the outside in, and you'll love admiring the views across the extensive gardens. The balcony is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in peace, while the alfresco entertaining area is ideal for long, lavish dinners. When the temperature rises you can plunge into the swimming pool, and if you fancy getting competitive then head for the volleyball court for a mini tournament. 

Kalavarda Beach is half a kilometre away, and is relatively quiet and popular with locals. If you get hungry, head to one of the nearby tavernas selling freshly caught seafood washed down with Greek wine. And should you fancy exploring a little further afield then the historic city of Rhodes, with its medieval old town, is just over half an hour away by car.

Boasting spectacular sea views, this luxurious villa lies in the bay next to Türkbükü, known as the St Tropez of Turkey. Families and friend groups alike will love it here – every bedroom has its own en-suite, and there's even a dog house in the garden for your furry friends. For an additional fee, your host can arrange a private chef or housekeeping staff, so you won't need to lift a finger during your stay. You might want a car here for exploring the Bodrum area though, with its pristine beaches and waterfront boutiques and restaurants.

The Fountains of Love

Cafetiere

Positioned on the seafront, you'll be just one minute away from the sandy shores of Livadi Beach. Picture it now – you're sitting with a cold drink in hand, listening to the waves of the Aegean Sea lapping forwards and backwards. Utter bliss. 

With panoramic sea views that also stretch across the traditional villa of Hora – there's no better spot to relax here than on the villa's covered terrace. Tuck into a delicious homemade meal in this sublime setting, or why not head out to one of the local tavernas? 

There is also a small outdoor private heated pool with a jacuzzi from which you can take in the views too. It's the perfect place to unplug and unwind for a spot of relaxation during the evening; meanwhile, as the sun shines down during the day, soak up some vitamin D from the sunbeds. 

Inside the sky blue and white colour palette reflects the surroundings of the villa with infinite charm – creating an ambience that soothes the soul and refreshes the mind in an instant. 


Sandy Shell Cottage

With vistas stretching to the Venetian Castle of Astypalea, this blue-and-white home has traditional sash doors revealing private spots for sunset-watching. As a spiral staircase leads you up to the en-suite bathroom, we think a hydro-massage shower is ideal for washing away the sand after spending time on Livadi Beach. Fancy stocking your cupboards with fresh produce? A few minutes from here, you'll find a mini-market and Greek tavernas. Drives into Chora come highly recommended, but chartering a boat may suit you better.

Azure Flecks

Set in a location with incredible landscape views, majestic olive trees, rolling hills, and mountains, this immaculate professionally designed villa is newly built to a high standard offering all modern facilities thus inviting comfort, exuding modern elegance and sophistication. The ground floor level has a fully equipped stylish modern kitchen, a cozy lounge/sitting area facing a warm and snug fireplace, a flat-screen TV & Wi-Fi. Ground floor also includes a bedroom with two single beds, a bathroom with hydro-massage shower, a washing machine and clothes dryer. The first floor has three bedrooms and a cozy hot tub Jacuzzi. The villa features a private eco swimming pool with an inviting Jacuzzi and charming waterfall. Sun beds with comfortable mattresses are perfect for relaxation. The Viconte villa can sleep up to 8 adults and provides the perfect setting for special celebrations. Located in a quiet and hospitable village with the best taverns in the area and a traditional bakery, the villa offers proximity to beaches, supermarkets, monasteries, nature trails, making it ideal for families, couples, and groups of friends. The village inhabitants are kind and friendly people, beautiful old traditional houses, picturesque narrow alleys, small churches, and two of the finest restaurants on the island.

Majestic Olive Retreat

In the eastern Aegean Sea, the island of Samos is home to picturesque beaches and villages, as well as some of the greatest thinkers of the ancient world. The birthplace of Pythagoras, this island has intellect as well as beauty under its belt. And at just a forty-five minutes drive to Pythagoras’ Cave, this coastal home can offer you a taste of both.

In striking, seaside settings, this villa’s exterior is not just limited to your private terraces and patios. Set in an orchard and pine forest stretching over forty-thousand square metres, the home blends beautifully into its natural surroundings. As you approach via the olive grove, vineyard, and vegetable garden, you might also spot a huge swimming pool, cliffside lounge, and two private coves down below for snorkelling. And we’re not even inside yet. 

Traditional, terracotta-coloured tiled flooring and wooden furnishings remind you of rustic ideals in the living space, but bold modern art pieces bring a 21st-century attitude. The classic wooden ceilings are painted fresh white, and illuminated in the bedrooms by light flooding in from private balconies. And while marble bathrooms certainly invoke a feeling of ancient Greece, modern-day luxury is the real theme of this home. 

The Theorem

Steam Room

This newly built villa on the island of Patmos is a shining example of how to incorporate classic Meditteranean design motifs into modern homes. 

Inside, the white walls, terracotta tiling and bursts of exposed stonework feel instantly recognisable, as well as perfectly cooling on a hot summer's afternoon. There are rustic elements in the shape of shelves built into alcoves and window shutters, which, when opened, look out to spectacular views of the island's port.

You get an even better vantage point when you head out to the home's terrace, which has an alfresco dining table, a couple of deckchairs and — best of all — a swimming pool. To top it all off, there's even a hammam on the premises, so you can truly kick back and relax.

When you want to see more of the island, the nearest beach — Melloi — is just over five minutes' drive away and goes past plenty of restaurants and cafes along the way. In the other direction, you can explore Monastery of Saint John the Theologian.

A Vision in White

Found in Astypalaia, where history and heritage collide, this home pays homage to both. Minimalist with a whitewashed Cycladic exterior, the interior is matched to create a coastal atmosphere whilst holding to tradition. Though it's small and everyone might not feel comfortable on the spiral staircase, you can catch a glimpse of the Venetian Castle of Astypalaea from the balcony. Beach lovers can drop their bags and find themselves on the shores of Livadi in a matter of minutes. The kitchen is okay for light bites, but with several restaurants around, you wouldn't need to bother if you don't want to.

A View of the Castle

For true privacy and seclusion, look no further than this tucked-away villa on the island of Samos. While away days by the aqua-blue pool, or visit one of the nearby coves – accessible only by boat or foot, so you can expect zero traffic noise.

The villa itself is homely and bright, fitted will all-important home comforts, including scenic spots to dine and inviting seating where you can happily curl up with a book. Peer through flourishing olive trees from the large windows, and see how long you can resist the sea beckoning. 

Potami beach is a three-minute drive (or twenty-minute walk) away. Lay on the sandy shores and listen to the silky water lapping as the day ambles on.  Nearby, the small town of Karlovasi is a useful spot for grocery top-ups, and it's also home to a number of traditional tavernas. Fishing is popular in this community, so we suggest you sample to fresh seafood.

Where Land Meets Sea

Ping Pong Table

Situated on the outskirts of Bitez, this villa might be a bit out of the way for some, but others will love its location among Muğla’s verdant olive groves. The fenced garden is the standout feature here, offering total privacy and peace of mind for those travelling with young children. And your host has provided plenty of amenities to please the whole family, from Bluetooth speakers to a poolside ping-pong table. Even better, you’re just a short drive from the city of Bodrum, perfect if you fancy a sunset stroll by the Aegean Sea.

Flight of the Redwing

Peacefully tucked away in a quiet spot of Bodrum in Turkey, within easy driving distance of the family-friendly beach resort of Bitez, this villa is ideal for a fun summer holiday. Cobblestone walls, exposed beam ceilings and traditional decor all add to the cosy cottage vibe. Outside, the private pool invites you to spend long days under the sun, with poolside seating areas for sipping on sundowners in the evenings. Being built all on ground level, it's a great option for those with reduced mobility.
