From the crystalline pool to the sprawling terrace overlooking the unspoiled landscape, this villa is everything that's right and beautiful about effortless Greek island living. Situated between the lesser-known village of Agios Stefanos and the popular resort of Kassiopi, the villa is secluded and private, and yet perfectly placed for small groups of friends or family looking to explore the area. So, pack your beach bag and take the five-minute drive to Avlaki Bay.

Head home to find a bright and breezy open-plan living space that extends to a sea-facing terrace with an alfresco dining table that comfortably seats the entire group. Early risers can enjoy their fresh Greek coffee on the balcony, before a day of tanning on the sun loungers and swimming in the pool. In the evenings, you can dig into a feast on the covered terrace, admiring the sea views and natural surroundings as the sun sets.
