From the endless sea views to the breathtaking outdoor spaces, there'll be no forgetting a stay at this stunning villa. It won't take you long to find a favourite spot on the terrace, whether that's in the hot tub, accompanying little ones into the children's pool, or lounging around the firepit with a drink in hand. There's an elegance to the interior style, though you may be too busy to notice – downstairs, a games room boasts a PlayStation and a home cinema setup. With this many amenities at home, it hardly matters that you're not within walking distance of the beach – in any case, the resort of Almyrida is less than a ten-minute drive away.
