Gaze out at an expansive vista of ancient olive groves, azure blue skies and a hazy streak of sea from this modern villa on Naxos' southern coast. Just twenty minutes from the lively main town, here you'll experience peace, quiet and affection for the Greek way of living.

In this secluded home, no one will judge you for lazing all day by the pool, book in hand and cocktails on repeat. If you feel like venturing out, there are plenty of unspoiled beaches nearby to soak up the sun in a slightly different – but equally beautiful – spot. Sports enthusiasts will be drawn to the plethora of activities on offer in this rural location, from windsurfing to mountain biking.

If you feel like sampling the local cuisine but prefer to stay local, ask your host to arrange a professional chef to come to your villa and prepare a Grecian feast. Dine poolside in the evening heat and watch the stars emerge over your idyllic slice of paradise.
