Perched high above in the evergreen pine forest of Korakia, overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea, this villa promises an endlessly relaxing stay removed from the modern world. It's set in an area of unspoiled beauty, surrounded by traditional olive groves, secluded coves and rock pools, so naturally, days start and end outside.

Soak up the gorgeous vistas with a fresh Greek coffee on your shaded balcony or set the table for a group breakfast in the alfresco dining area. After, saunter on down the traditional stone steps towards your sea-facing infinity pool and sprawling poolside terrace for a day of rest and relaxation under the hot Mediterranean sun.

Alternatively, the living space is light and airy, thanks to the timber-framed ceilings and open layout, meaning it's the perfect spot to kick back out of the midday heat for a while and unwind. There's a large open kitchen and dining area with sea views, which means you can cook for your guests while keeping up with the conversation and sipping a glass of wine. We particularly love the traditional hand-made pieces and original fireplace that keep things cosy.

If you can peel yourself away from this achingly beautiful villa, go out and explore your surroundings. Pack your seaside essentials and take a two-minute walk down to the empty beach in front of the villa. Stretch out on the soft sand or paddle in the sea before heading over to the vibrant town of Porto Heli for dinner at a charming taverna or a fine-dining restaurant, just fifteen minutes away by car.
