Tucked away in a tangle of olive groves and citrus trees, you'll find this home on the east coast of Tinos. Here, tranquillity is guaranteed. Set against a hillside backdrop, dense foliage and lush lawn cocoon the rustic facade, and at the garden's edge, a secluded beach awaits. Spend your days relaxing here and paddling in the crystal clear waters.

With its main building and two annexes, the design of this home is well suited to families. Inside, it's all exposed brick walls and beamed ceilings cloaked in a lick of ivory paint. Red accents run throughout the interiors, from the quaint shuttered windows to the striking kitchen cabinets – even the glossy Smeg refrigerator boasts a handsome shade of crimson. It probably won't surprise you that the owner is an antique connoisseur. Vintage touches are abundant here, infusing the space with warmth. 

We love the ample outdoor spaces, from the sun-drenched patio to the vast gardens, offering pockets of shade and dreamy sea views. Spend mornings gathered at the dining pergola, allowing wafts of coffee and the gentle sea breeze to awaken you from your slumber. If you fancy exploring the island, take a ten-minute drive to the medieval village of Triantaros, or explore Tinos, the lively capital, which is only ten kilometres away.

This delightful villa is the perfect place to while away days in the Grecian sunshine. Built with local stone and featuring a stunning view of the Aegean Sea, there's no shortage of reasons to love this place. Inside, the interiors honour traditional Cycladic design with a light-filled, minimal living space ideal for relaxing. All the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and comfortable beds, while the kitchen is well-stocked for rustling up dinner using the herbs and fresh produce from the small garden out front. And speaking outside, the terrace calls for barbecues in the afternoon sun and glasses of wine as the evening draws to a close. Our favourite part is the infinity pool, where you can float the day away while admiring the dreamy panoramas.

When you're in the mood for adventure, hop in the car and explore the wild beauty of Tinos. Known as Greece's spiritual heart, there's a myriad of things to discover, from ancient churches and hiking routes to beautiful beaches. The closest is just eight minutes by car, while the port town of Tinos and its array of restaurants, bars and boutiques is a fifteen-minute drive away. Your host can even arrange island excursions and yacht rentals.

Find your new happy place on the lesser-known Greek island of Tinos, specifically in this characterful one-bed home. With blue views across the Aegean Sea to distant craggy mountains, you'll need to pinch yourself each time you step outside.

Relax in the hammock and dine at the outdoor table, and when the heat becomes a little too much, there's a private infinity pool to cool off in. When in Greece, it's imperative to sample the local beaches – start off with Agios Sostis, just five minutes away by car, or twenty minutes on foot. This calm expanse is well off the tourist trail, so you won't have to compete for a sunny spot on the sand.

Tinos town is just a ten-minute drive away. Here, you'll have a choice of charming tavernas to choose from, each serving traditional cuisine with fresh local ingredients. Finish the meal with a slice of baklava, then head home to enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down.

In the heart of Tinos Town, this apartment is a practical base for excursions around the town and island. While definitely on the smaller side and with a terrace that doesn't give much privacy from the one next to it, the home offers a wealth of options for nearby activities. The nearest beach is only a five-minute walk away, while there are plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes to keep you well-fed and at various levels of hydration. At home, the terrace catches the sun and gives you somewhere to relax during the day.

Here, Cycladic simplicity meets contemporary living to create a comfortable space to rest and recharge. Everything you'll need is accounted for, from a satellite TV and fully-equipped kitchen to the wireless speaker when you're in the mood for some music.

Wake up each morning and pad out to the terrace to enjoy your morning coffee and delicious breakfast in the fresh air. Then, take a dip in the pool, admiring how the sea sparkles in the sunlight as Dinos Island (the birthplace of Apollo) rises on the horizon. Afternoons are best spent on the resort, sipping cocktails at the poolside bar and sampling the local cuisine in the on-site restaurant. On request, you can also organise yoga lessons, massages, beauty treatments and private chefs – sounds pretty relaxing to us. For a beach day, make the short journey to Paralia Agios Fokas – a five-minute drive for fifteen on foot – and sprawl out in the sand. Or, if you're keen to explore, Tinos is ten minutes by car and has gourmet restaurants, daily markets and ferries departing for other islands in the Cyclades.

Apollo's Roots

This home is all about the location. Placing you right in the heart of Tinos, it’s just a five-minute stroll to Agios Fokas beach, with plenty of traditional tavernas and shops within easy walking distance.

The pure white curves of this villa feel as though they emulate the waves of the sea, and serve as a constant reminder of your location right on the coast of Mykonos. Views from the sprawling terrace are beautiful, taking in the azure-blue Aegean out to Tinos and an old lighthouse on the headland. Everything about the outdoor space is curvy, from the free-form swimming pool to the stone seating tucked into the waves of walls. A sleek outdoor bar awaits to serve a sundowner and this villa witnesses some of the best sunsets on the island. 

The interior is inspired by traditional Cyclades architecture, with thick white stone walls curving around each room. Exposed stone walls and a fireplace keep the living room with one foot in tradition, but the decor is decidedly boho-chic. Bedrooms sit beneath wooden ceilings with beds tucked into the curve of stone, and the master opens up to a terrace with a Jacuzzi tub and ocean view.
 
You’re in the super quiet Farnari area here, in the north of Mykonos. If you want to hit the bars of Mykonos Town, it’s a ten-minute drive. 

Light On The Aegean

Those lucky enough to snap up the main bedroom will benefit from a sea-view balcony with an outdoor jet tub too. The nearest beach and restaurant are less than 1km away from the home.

For a modern escape to Greece, this villa is an excellent choice. It can be found just outside of Tinos town – a ten-minute walk is all it takes to reach the many bars, restaurants and shops of this lively hub. The well-loved beach at Agios Fokas is 500 metres away, so if you want to while away your stay on white sands, you can do so very easily indeed. 

You needn’t leave the villa for a dip though, as you’ll have your own private pool. Dive in first thing in the morning, and spend your days alternating between soaking up the gorgeous Greek sun and cooling off in the refreshing water. The villa looks out over the sea, with views stretching as far as Mykonos – this really is a lovely spot. When you need some shade, you can retire to the small patio or head inside. 

The villa is stylish and chic, with everything you might need for a beach break. The petite kitchen is ideal for whipping up a snack or mixing cocktails – if you’re anything like us, pre-dinner cocktails as you watch the sun set are a must for a holiday. This small but perfectly formed home is an excellent choice for your next Greek adventure. 


Poseidon's Sun

Desk / Workplace

Stair Gates

Nestled on the southern tip of the beautiful island of Tinos, this beautiful four-bedroom villa overlooks the majesty of the Aegean Sea and beyond, including views of neighbouring Mykonos, Dilos, Rinia and Syros.

With fresh, open spaces, clean lines and welcoming surroundings, this home exudes luxurious comfort bathed in natural sunlight from all angles. Rustle up a hearty Greek breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen, welcoming the day right before whiling the time away basking by the pool, where swoon-worthy views of the Aegean Sea are standard. We highly recommend sampling sumptuous Grecian delicacies at the restaurant and poolside bar under a canopy of starlight and relaxed ambience. 

When the urge to seize the day takes over and the road calls, head out to the stunning town of Tinos (locally known as Chora) for sightseeing, shopping and dining galore, before heading to one of the many breathtaking beaches that surround the island, the closest one being a fifteen-minute walk from home.


Ode to Blue Skies

This villa is a great choice for families and friends looking for a spot to enjoy some downtime as well as social moments. This home is located within a complex of holiday villas that offers a shared pool and multiple lounging terraces  – perfect for meeting new people. Private moments can be had here too, with your own sun-flooded terrace and alfresco dining area with Aegean Sea views. And when you’re ready to step out, Paralia Agios Fokas Beach, an array of vibrant beach bars and waterfront restaurants are just a short drive away.

The Goddess in Blue

Just along the coast from Tinos town, this villa enjoys a private, peaceful spot overlooking the Aegean Sea. It’s on a hillside, and there are just a few fields and fellow villas separating this place from the coast, so you can watch the boats drift by from beanbag loungers on the huge terrace. A swimming pool awaits for hot days and shaded dining for long lunches. True to its Cycladic locale, the interior is minimalist but there’s everything you need in the open-plan kitchen. 

Bayview Boho

Rooftop Terrace

There's an undeniable charm to this rustic villa. A treasure trove of authentic antiques, many of the curiosities dotted about hail from the host's travels all over Greece. The atmosphere is homey and warm – we're particularly fond of the exposed stone walls, crackling fireplace and bright blue door and window frames. But most of all, we're swooning over the outside space. Oodles of terraces and balconies show off the exquisite sea view – just stretch out on a lounge chair, pour yourself a glass of wine, and bask in the tranquil Aegean scenery.

If you can pull yourself away from the panoramas, Tinos Town (known as Chora to the locals) is just a thirteen-minute drive away. As it’s the capital of the island, you'll find a myriad of restaurants, bars, shops and galleries to tickle your fancy. For a beach day, Paralia Lichnaftia is a ten-minute drive, although there are plenty more sandy shores to visit along the coast. You can even enjoy a day trip to Mykonos – it's about half an hour away on the ferry.

The home combines the traditional Greek style of architecture with environmentally-friendly designs – it's the perfect package. The white-washed exterior gives way to a charming living space, complete with a rustic wooden ceiling and a soft, neutral colour scheme. The outdoor space is just as brilliant, with plenty of room for you to kick back and soak up the sun.

This Tinos villa is impressive, whether you're talking about the facilities or the views. The infinity pool, two hot tubs, and alfresco dining areas are perfect for watching the sunset over the sea and enjoying the peace and quiet. Indoors, each bedroom has an en-suite, but not all of them have doors to separate their bathrooms from the bedrooms, so you might not have full privacy in the shower. You'll also find three living rooms and three kitchens here, guaranteeing everyone their personal space, even in large groups.

Golden Glade

Overlooking the southeastern shores of Tinos, this home welcomes you to enjoy its beautiful views and calm interiors.

And while there isn’t a swimming pool here, the close proximity to the coast means days can be spent exploring the island’s most beautiful beaches.  

Master of the Sun

Rejuvenate with coastal views and sea air at this contemporary apartment set on the sleepy island of Tinos. Part of an intimate collection of apartments set within an exclusive villa complex, there’s a shared infinity pool, and back at the apartment, a magnificent sea-facing terrace to call your own. The pace of life is low here, and there are no amenities within walking distance – so you’ll need a car to get out and about. But with the sweeping shores of peaceful Agios Fokas Beach just a short drive away, don’t let this be the dealbreaker.

From Tinos, With Love

Breakfast Included

Traditional Cycladic charm meets modern luxury at this estate on Mykonos. Composed of the main villa and two additional guest houses, it's ideal for large groups who are seeking a heavenly escape on one of Greece's most popular islands.

The sparking swimming pool is surrounded by Greek columns, making it an impressive spot for a dip, and when you get thirsty you can whip up a cocktail at the poolside bar. 

The sea is just two kilometres away, where you'll find Ornos Beach, one of the most popular on the island. You can easily spend a day luxuriating on a lounger and paddling in the crystal clear water, before visiting one of the prestigious beach clubs for dinner and drinks. Plus, Mykonos Town is just five kilometers away – wander through the charming streets soaking up the atmosphere, or book in at one of the top restaurants for a lavish feast. The choice is yours. 

Cosmic Dances

This magnificent villa overlooks the Agios Fokas coast and the Aegean sea. Spread over three levels, it comes complete with an infinity pool, hot tub, and plentiful seating on the balconies. While not the best choice for guests who struggle with stairs, groups will enjoy plenty of space with three living rooms and fully-equipped kitchens. The large windows throughout are perfectly oriented for sea and sunset views, all the way to the nearby Delos, Mykonos and Syros islands. You'll want a car for exploring the island of Tinos, with Agios Fokas beach and the island's capital a short drive away.

Clear Blue Horizon

Perched on the Tinos coast, this family-sized villa looks out over the Aegean Sea. It’s made up of a main villa with three ground-floor bedrooms, a full kitchen and minimalist living room, plus two separate suites upstairs with their own kitchenettes and living areas. A private pool provides a spot to cool off and there are plenty of places to recline and dine on the vast terrace. The real highlight is the view over the crystal-clear sea, and the proximity to Tinos town, a short drive along the coast. 

Blue Cliff

This home ticks all our boxes and then some – private pool, sun-dappled terrace and sensational views of the Aegean Sea. Inspired by classic Cycladic design, the living spaces are breezy and filled with light, the bedrooms comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked for cooking. But chances are, the terrace is where you'll spend most of your time. Whether you're grilling up a storm on the barbecue, sipping cocktails as the sun goes down or floating in the pool, you'll have plenty of opportunities to make the most of the sunshine.

Set on a luxury resort with a communal pool, on-site restaurant and poolside bar, this villa has all the perks of a hotel.

When you fancy exploring, Tinos' array of restaurants, markets and bars is a ten-minute drive away. Ferries depart from the port for the other isles in the Cyclades if you're in the mood for island-hopping, or just sprawl out on the sands at Paralia Agios Fokas – a five-minute drive or fifteen on foot.

With a focus on combining natural elements with forward-thinking design, this modern home might be compact, but you know what they say about small packages. Step out onto the balcony, and that’s exactly where you’ll find the dynamite – the view, some sea, some mountain, and some island, is a breathtaking panorama that also reminds you just how close you are to the beach. 

Only a few minutes away on foot, you can choose to spend the day on the tree-lined, Agali beach or visit it daily to take a sunset stroll before popping in at the nearest restaurant for dinner. Of course, if it’s exploring you want, you can also visit the Archeological Museum of Tinos or the Museum of Marble Crafts. 

Back home, you can pass days on the balcony simply admiring the space and breathing in sea-salt air. Share meze platters and drink Cycladic wine around the dining table, enjoy your morning coffee, comfortable on the floral bench, as you read Homeric Hymns, and take your swimming experience to the next level by enjoying a dip in the plunge pool under the shimmering night sky.

In Gaia's Lap

Boasting coastal views, this apartment is great for romantic getaways. Aside from its intimate balcony, we love the unconventional steps out of the window into a private hot tub. The communal pool terrace serves as a potential social spot for solo adventurers, though it's a sunny place for everyone to unwind. Agios Fokas Beach and its cafe-dotted promenade sit within walking distance. But a short drive away is the island's namesake town of Tinos, which holds a working port, hiking trails, and an archeology museum.

The Sea and the Shore

Infinite Blue

Right in the heart of Tinos Town, everything you need is a short stroll away from this home – with so much to do, you may not spend much time here. Within a small radius, you'll find beaches, restaurants, bars, and museums – all here to make the lack of a kitchen and living room easier to swallow. The home is spread over two adjacent apartments, meaning it's ideal for couples travelling together. And thanks to the terrace, you've got somewhere to link up and share the sun.

The Sky is Yours

Nestled on the north coast of Mykonos with views over to Delos, your home provides the perfect rest you've been pining for.
Succumb to the sound of the ocean — Ornos Beach is a mere five-minute walk away, and slowly meld into the beat of island living.

The home's guest suite has a private entrance, two beds, and a bathroom.

With so much to see and do on the island, be sure to carve out time for a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos— just a thirteen-minute drive away. In the evenings, head down to the Super Paradise Beach Club and dance the night away.

A fully renovated Μykonian luxury property situated in the serene area of Houlakia, located just 5.5 km from the picturesque Mykonos Town. The villa, now renamed 'Les Cyclades', enjoys a magnificent view of the ancient Delos & Rhenia islands, as well as the neighboring Tinos Island. This bohemian-style retreat blends modern amenities with minimalist Cycladic architecture, providing guests with an exclusive and private accommodation experience. The property's advantageous location on the western part of Mykonos offers stunning sunset views over the Aegean Sea and an unforgettable panorama. 'Les Cyclades' features a large infinity pool, perfect for a refreshing dip while enjoying the breathtaking view. With spacious outdoor areas, built-in sunbeds and lounges, guests can relax and soak up the Mediterranean sun. The villa unfolds over three levels, offering luxurious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and terraces that capture the island's captivating beauty.

Bohemian Bay Retreat

Mykonos may have a reputation as the most hedonistic island in the Cyclades, but it's just as easy to find villas where it's easy to completely switch off and relax – take this home close to the western coastline, for example.

It makes sense to start with the remarkable outdoor space given the generous climate that the locale enjoys. Spread out over four-and-a-half acres, it won't take great leaps of imagination to picture long afternoons spent paddling in the swimming pool, cooking up dinner on the barbecue or simply admiring the view of Aegean Sea and Mykonos Town from the comfort of a lounger.

The home itself is traditional in style, with a wealth of whitewashed walls, wooden beams and a feature wood-burning fireplace around which to gather when the evenings get cooler. However, it must be said that there are more contemporary aspects, including the minimalist kitchen and bedrooms.

You'll quickly find that the surrounding area of St John is pretty peaceful, but there are lively attractions not too far away. Ornos beach is the closest seaside spot at just under 2km away, while the restaurants and nightlife in Mykonos Town can be reached in a 5km drive.

Like a scene from a postcard, the views from this waterfront villa are pretty spectacular. We could easily spend all day on the terrace, drinking wine in the sun and watching the boats bob in the harbour as the tide rises and falls. Don't even get us started on the Aegean sea sunsets – they're downright magical, and you'll have a front-row seat. 

A former mayor's residence, this home was built in 1850 and has oodles of character inside – think beams on the high ceilings and shutters on the windows. Yet every room is bright, crisp and super sleek, thanks to the minimal decorations and white colour scheme. The design is pared-back on purpose so you can focus on the scenery, but don't let that fool you. It still has all the mod-cons and upgrades you'll want on holiday, including Molton Brown toiletries, Netflix access, flexible housekeeping, an on-call concierge, and the option for private chefs and yacht charters.

And the location is fabulous, too. Whether you crave a night on the town, afternoon brunch or a leisurely morning stroll, this is undoubtedly the best spot on the island – mere minutes from the beach, museums and Mykonos' pretty cobbled lanes lined with boutiques and eateries. It can't get much sweeter than that.

Set your worries free with a stay in this oh-so-dreamy villa, just a fifteen-minute drive away from Mykonos Town. 

Located in Kanalia, only a fifteen-minute walk away from Ornos Beach in a spot where you'll find plenty of bars and shops just around the corner – this luxurious villa quite literally has it all. 

From glistening sea views to swaying hammocks, plush sun loungers and a private swimming pool – enjoy a stunning terrace space in the Mediterranean sun. Spend meal times under the shaded pergola, where you can barbecue some fresh fare or why not hire a private chef to come and cook up a Greek feast while you sit back and relax with a glass of wine in hand? 

Presented in authentic Cycladic style, surrounded by granite rock and meticulous attention to detail, the villa is split into two separate spaces, meaning you'll have two kitchens and living areas to soak up. Across the two connected buildings, you'll find all of the guest rooms, most with an en-suite bathroom for ultimate privacy. With a mix of modern and traditional designs throughout, relaxing here couldn't be easier – and with an array of luxury concierge services available through the host, you can be as autonomous or catered for as you like. 



Just Fly, Don't Worry 

Perched in the hills above the famous Psarou Beach on the Cycladic island of Mykonos, this stunning villa blends contemporary design with traditional Greek architecture. Walking through the home, you’ll discover a mix of timber ceilings, sumptuous furnishings, exposed bedrock, whitewashed walls, and arched alcoves – an elegant assemblage that is enough alone to make you feel like you’re somewhere really special. However, it’s outside where things move up into another echelon entirely.

While the vibrant night life, golden beaches, and historic sites of Mykonos might be calling to you, we won’t blame you one jot if you choose to spend all your hours swimming in the infinity pool, sipping cocktails on the sundeck, and feasting on Greek dishes beneath the covered patio, all while enjoying panoramic views out to sea. Here, you’ll find each of these outstanding features combines to make the perfect social setting, ideal for a group of friends or family after a truly unique experience to enjoy together.


Clifftop Serenade 

With its baby blue shutters, stone-clad exterior and white-washed walls, this villa exudes Grecian charm in spades. You'll find it just a thirteen-minute drive from Mykonos Town and seven from Ornos Beach, perched on top of Pouli Hill in Kanalia. This is one of our favourite spots on the island – although you're close to lively beaches and the nightlife town, you'll still enjoy plenty of peace and privacy.

When you're not wandering the pretty lanes in Mykonos Town, swimming in the Aegean Sea or exploring the rest of the island, relax on the private terrace and drink in the incredible views. Afternoons call for floating in the pool and soaking up the rays on the lounge chairs, while evenings are best spent on the outdoor sofas, sipping cocktails and watching the sunset. The interior is an ideal haven after a long, hot day in the sun, thanks to the bright and breezy design and coastal colour scheme. Multiple lounges and sleek, amply-sized bedrooms ensure you'll have plenty of space to spread out and get comfortable, making this the perfect pad for families or groups craving a Grecian getaway.

Clear Skies, Full Hearts

Nestled on a hillside above the Aegean Sea you'll find this lavish home, perfect for large groups of friends and extended families. Whether you're planning a celebration in the sunshine or a quiet retreat, it's the ideal place to spend some quality time together in style. 

The traditional Cycladic architecture melts into the rugged landscape, creating a soothing ambiance that will make you feel at home right away. Inside, the natural textures, clean lines, and tasteful collection of contemporary art continue this theme – if you want to hide from the heat, this is a great place to flop down with a good book. Head outside to breathe in the fresh air as you gaze out across the water from the comfort of your sun lounger. When the temperature rises you can plunge into the glittering swimming pool, and when you need to refuel you can fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast – don't forget a bottle of Greek wine too. 

The closest beach is just 180m away, while famous Ornos Beach, with its sparkling clear waters and golden sands, is just a 3km drive away. Pick your best sunglasses, and stretch out under a parasol – this is a place to see and be seen. And, with the bright lights of Mykonos Town also 3km away, you can stroll through the picture-perfect streets before dining on fresh seafood and sipping craft cocktails by the harbour. 

Cosmic Charm

Nestled into the hills of Agios Stefanos, this home sits in perfect harmony with its surroundings. From the heated pool and home gym to the calm rooms, every detail has been considered to inspire pure relaxation. You’ll find one of the bedrooms is located in an independent annexe (a nice option for those in search of extra privacy), plus there is a wine room and an outdoor home theatre – perfect for magical evenings under the stars. From here, take the short drive to Mykonos Town (just ten minutes away) or treat your group to a private boat trip – just one of the extra services available on request.

Staying at this Cycladic villa is memorable for all the right reasons. This modern monument is situated right in the heart of Agia Sophia, with panoramic views of the azure Aegean sea, Mykonos town and the ancient island of Delos on the horizon.

Inside, you’ll feel how much detail has gone into the design. Luxury touches are everywhere - ambient lighting fixtures, stone surfaces and natural, minimalist furniture pieces. Wake up in your own oasis - each bedroom is engulfed in calm and opens out to the natural sand-blasted terrace overlooking the bay for prime morning views. 

Minimalist luxury carries through to the outside here, with warm natural stone terraces and soft daybeds to lounge on, absorb the island sun and get into your new summer read. Two pools with superior scopes of the sea are the focal point, whilst a chef-catered Grecian lunch at the outdoor marble dining table is the perfect interval from your morning tanning session. Mykonos Town is a ten-minute drive away, so you can spend the afternoon on the sea-front at Mozaic for cocktails. Come home for stargazing in the hot tub - the Mykonos sky will spoil you.
