From the outside, this home appears as a traditional Greek stone building – until you get inside. Designed by an architect who clearly had one eye on Scandinavia, it's a double-height space with lots of natural wood. The open living area on the ground floor leads to a covered terrace with incredible forest views, and there's a bedroom and a bathroom on this level too. A second bedroom is off the galleried landing and has its own balcony. After breakfast, wander down to your private pool.

Or walk another five minutes down the path and you'll come to a secluded cove, perfect for paddling.
