Thanks to its hillside setting, this villa has stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Taking inspiration from traditional Greek architecture, this home is a blend of old and new. The vistas from the open-plan living area and balcony are a particular highlight – another is the outdoor space. Relax in the sun next to the infinity pool or take in the sunset from the seating by the ancient olive trees – the garden is beautifully lit up at night. Set at the top of a steep driveway, you’ll need a car here – the village of Virós is just a short drive away and has a variety of tavernas and cafes. Or for a day at the beach, Pontikonisi is 5 kilometres away.
