This stunning villa is tucked away on one of the lesser-known Cycladic islands of Kea. It consists of a main house with two separate guest suites, each with their own en-suite and private entrance. You have access to a private bay here and there’s even a helicopter pad on the grounds. Some rooms could do with a lick of paint but it’s really all about the exterior here, with the saltwater pool and terraces being the highlights. And who wouldn’t want to wake up to views like this every morning? *While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay *There’s free parking on the premises here *If you're travelling by plane, Athens International Airport is the nearest airport, which includes a journey by car and ferry *For those with reduced mobility, there's a gro...

The vistas of the Acropolis, Mount Lycabettus, Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the National Garden from this home are amazing.

Sometimes, a trip away from home changes everything. Arriving at this beautiful villa on Kea Island, you may find that life will never be the same again. This home ticks every box for us. 180 degrees of unlimited sea views? Oh yes, this home has them. And naturally, you can see the sea from every king-sized, anatomic mattress in this villa. Individually-designed bedrooms, which all have hidden inspiration behind them? Check. You’ll find a bedroom inspired by romantic photographs, one with hand-painted granite leaves, another with an illuminated glass-based bed to make you feel as though you’re on a flying carpet, and another pop-style room with vinyl on the walls. They’re unique, they’re quirky, they’re wonderful. After a day doing lengths in your oxygen cleaned infinity pool, you can dip your toes into the jacuzzi while sipping a G\u0026T from your poolside bar. If listening to the calming waves isn’t your thing, the outdoor surround ...
It's fair to say that each of the Greek islands has a distinct identity and Spetses appeals to those fond of the finer things in life, with plenty of high-end restaurants and boutiques dotted across the map. You'll also find some rather impressive villas, such as this majestic home. Spread across three floors, the star of the show has to be the swimming pool surrounded by a terrace with loungers on which to dry off after a dip. Up on the top floor, you'll find another terrace with pleasingly green views, but if you need a break from the sun, there's a verandah with a dining table and a hammock practically begging for a post-lunch snooze. The interior feels typically Greek with whitewashed walls, shuttered windows and a few boho touches in the furnishings and decorations. The glass doors on the ground floor bring in plenty of natural light, as well as a burst of fresh air when swung open. We've also got kind words for the contemporaril...
Consisting of a main house and two smaller guest houses, this striking modern villa is located just two minutes walk from the beautiful beach at Koundouros, considered one of the loveliest on the whole island of Kea. Here, you will be able to enjoy a range of water sports in and around the glittering waters of the Aegean, including scuba diving beneath the glistening waves. The capital of the island, the picturesque town of Ioulida, is just sixteen kilometres from the home, where you find loads of inviting authentic eateries and bags of quintessentially Greek charm – so don’t miss out on the chance to spend an afternoon exploring its atmospheric streets. The villa offers stunning panoramic sea views from its numerous terraces and furnished balconies, as well as an irresistible infinity pool around which you can while away a long, sun-soaked afternoon. Loaf in the hammock or on one of the sun loungers, catching a tan and catching up on ...
Technically two separate apartments, this home dominates the entire second and third floors of a historic building in Athens’ Plaka neighbourhood. Guests here can spread out between four suites, two living rooms (each with a double sofa bed) and two full kitchens. The crowning glory of these apartments has to be the private terrace which looks out to the Acropolis, rising above the city in ancient splendour. A hot tub can soak sore feet after a day exploring the myriad restaurants and bars in the narrow old streets of your Plaka neighbourhood. *This home consists of floors two and three of an apartment building and is two separate apartments. There is a lift in the building. *At capacity, four guests will be on two double sofa beds in the two living rooms. *While there isn't a private washing machine in the home, there are laundry facilities shared with the apartments on the upper floors. *Parking is not included with a stay here but ...
Located on the island of Kea, this villa promises a relaxing escape away from Greece's tourist hubs. With the island's forty-five beaches to choose from, you'll be able to explore a new stretch of sand each day. But, if you don't want to stray too far from home, there are steps leading straight into the Aegean Sea in the garden – how's that for seafront? The whole place was designed with alfresco living (and the views) in mind, so you’ll find several serene spots to soak up the incredible scenery – our favourite being the saltwater infinity pool. There's also a small guest house with single beds, which is a good option for teenagers craving their own space. *The fifth bedroom is in a separate guest house – one guest will sleep on a single sofa bed in this room *We think the kitchen is on the smaller side – it's probably best for rustling up lighter fare *This villa is set on a small complex with four other homes, all with plenty of p...
Nestled on the quiet island of Kea, this secluded villa invites a large family or group of friends to enjoy Greek island life in utter luxury. Its best highlight rests outside, with stunning sea views from a large terrace (particularly at sunset). And with a private swimming pool, alfresco pergola dining area, terrace bar and an on-site private basketball court – you'll feel like you've landed on your own private resort here. The villa's interior is just as inviting, as nautical designs nod to its beachside location and a games room featuring a billiards table, a ping pong table and table football for times when you prefer to socialise out of the sun. *You'll have your own private entrance here *There's a dedicated office here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay *This home is spread over three floors, with no internal lift – so while access to all floors may not be suitable for those with limited mobility, there...
Just outside Vourkari – and boasting views of its quaint fishing harbour – this villa is perfectly situated on the coast of Kea. Less than five minutes on foot is a local restaurant, while cafes, bars, and other amenities are reachable in ten. Of course, with a summer kitchen, alfresco dining area, and Aegean panoramas to feast on back home, family meals are sure to be a memorable affair. Inside, traditional charm is front-and-centre. We think there's plenty of room for the whole group to spread out, especially in the lower-level bedrooms – they have small sitting areas, en-suites and tiny kitchenettes. Factor in the private pool and sea-facing terrace, and it's no wonder this home struck a chord. *At full capacity, two guests will sleep on bunk beds in the staff room. It’s not photographed, and we don’t expect the quality to match the rest of the home. With that in mind, we think this home is better for eight. *As this villa and its ...
Overlooking rolling hills and stunning vistas, this villa plays host to an amphitheatre of breathtaking views. Boasting five bedrooms, crystal clear private pool, comfortable surroundings and ample alfresco dining spaces, this home has all the makings of an incredibly relaxing and memorable trip. If you're looking to relax, there's no greater place to do so than by the pool, soaking up the sun on plush loungers with a glass of something refreshing, watching as the day meanders on by. Evenings are always best spent together at the outside dining area taking in the crisp evening air and sampling sumptuous Grecian produce and making memories to treasure for years to come. For those looking for a little adventure, the island is an excellent spot for hiking and nature walks. Sykamia Beach and the town of Loulis can each be reached in a ten-minute drive from home, where you can shop and dine to your heart's content. * Due to the location o...
If this knockout sea view doesn't say rest and reset, we don't know what else will. Perched within an acre of private lands in the seafront community of Pefka and offering direct access to the rocky shoreline for seafront strolls, this hideaway is all about peace and seclusion. Inside, the contemporary villa boasting a guest suite may have less Cycladic charm than other homes in our collection. But we'll forgive that for those swoon-worthy panoramas from the sun-kissed terraces and lengthy infinity pool outside. The only downside to all this privacy is that you'll need to hop in the car to seek out the nearby local tavernas and shops. Or blaze a trail into Athens for the afternoon – it's just a forty-minute drive away. *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay *There is shaded onsite parking at the villa and an EV charger for electric vehicles *A well-behaved dog is welcome to accom...
If you’re on the lookout for a super-house for multiple families, in a spectacular island setting, this is it. Standing high on a hill on stunning Aegina Island, the home is perfectly placed. The 180-degree ocean views are epic from here. But the buzzy city centre is pleasingly close enough just 4km away. The villa is set over four levels, with plenty of space for a gang of eighteen. The vibe is relaxed, with lots of colour and homely touches. Families will especially love it here. Table tennis, giant chess, a playground and basketball facilities mean the kids are well catered for. Meanwhile, the grown-ups can recline with a book by the oh-so-chic infinity pool. Heaven. If you can drag yourself away, it’s worth exploring this beautiful island. Your nearest beach is Marathonas – its shallow water makes it a great spot for little ones to swim. Or don your best hiking shoes and explore the nature-rich mountains where there are ancient ...
Now this is how you do a stay in Athens. From the unfettered panoramas of the ancient Acropolis to the hot tub on the private terrace, you can absorb the unparalleled beauty of this historic city from the comfort of your homestay. Wrap-around windows keep the Parthenon firmly in view – keep one eye on the alluring temple as you lap up Greek yoghurt with dollops of honey at the breakfast table or while you’re reclining on the sofa in the evening, a glass of wine in hand. When it’s time to embark on a sightseeing adventure, step out into the heady streets and begin with a stroll up to the top of Filopappou Hill, just five minutes from your doorstep. Visit the Prison of Socrates, the Ancient Deme of Koile and Deaf Man’s Cave. Have lunch under the orange trees at raved-about seafood spots, before soaking up the sunshine in the tranquil National Garden. *This apartment is accessed by stairs only *At full capacity, two guests will slee...
Two families travelling together or a big group of friends can make the most of this home comprising two separate villas. It’s up in the hills, just outside of Kea’s capital town Ioulis so you can reach the supermarket and charming restaurants in less than ten minutes on foot. Up here, you’ve got a great view, taking in the rolling hills of Kea, topped with ancient white chapels, all the way to the sea. The group can spread out across two villas, each with its own kitchen, breezy living room and dining areas and come together in the outside space. A rectangle of turquoise swimming pool provides an inviting spot to cool off in the heat of the day. Alfresco dining comes courtesy of deck-chair style seating around a wooden table, shaded by a pergola. Loungers on the beautiful stone patio look out over hilltops to the sparkling sea, and views don’t get much better than from the covered rooftop terrace. Days can be spent playing boules in t...

This two-bedroom penthouse offers stunning views of Athens. Landmarks like the Acropolis, Mount Lycabettus, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are visible from the private balcony, which has space to sit out with a drink and enjoy wonderful sunset views. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms separated by glass walls, so you'll find privacy somewhat limited. But the main bedroom suite boasts a private living room and a marble Jacuzzi tub. As this home is in a hotel building there are plenty of amenities and extra services, from a private chef to a communal gym and roof garden. *You'll have one designated space to park outside this home. *The main suite at this home has its own private living room and desk for getting some remote work done during your stay. *There are glass walls between the bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms, so privacy is lacking here. *This home is in a hotel building – you can expect to bump into other guests during...
