Sitting just across the bay from Almyros Beach and with direct access to the sandy shore, this boho-chic villa provides some gorgeous views of the ocean as well as the rolling hills that surround it. The stunning pool deck is a real jaw-dropper – the water seems to stretch out infinitely as it blends with the sea behind it. Here, you'll find loungers for relaxing with cocktails, plus a covered terrace with a lounge and dining area for living alfresco. Inside, natural materials blend with a neutral colour scheme, along with exposed stone walls and beam ceilings, all giving the home a warm and stylish feel.
