Prepare to swoon at this marble-clad mansion, perched atop the mountains fringing Rodia village and delivering knockout vistas of the Mediterranean Sea. Outside, the tiered manicured gardens surrounding the infinity pool are palatial. Dial in a private chef and host a private party within the grounds. Or, for something more laidback and intimate, the alfresco dining area with a barbecue and pizza oven is spot on. When it's time to explore, Rodia's charming tavernas are just a flip-flop away. You'll need a car to reach your nearest beach, Ammoudara – but the scenic journey is worth the drive alone.
