Perched on the hillside, this villa gazes across olive groves to the Mediterranean Sea. The interiors are sleek and modern, with big windows framing picture-perfect views, while all of the bedrooms open onto private balconies or terraces. Days are best spent stretched out by the pool, soaking in the in-built hot tub or firing up the barbecue for a delicious Greek feast – and when night falls, the outdoor lounge is just the spot for sunset cocktails.
