Set in Ladiko, close to the buzzing heart of Kalithies with its traditional tavernas and ouzo bars, but within a five-minute drive of the coast, this home delivers the ideal location if you'd like to sample the island's authentic village life one minute and the fun and frolics of Faliraki the next. Tucked away in the green hills, it's a peaceful spot with a large, walled garden – perfect for letting the kids run free.

Typical in style, with lots of covered terraces, sun loungers and a cool, tile-floored interior, it's a comfortable family home with plenty of space for everyone. Kitted out for outdoor living, there's a fabulous summer kitchen with a traditional built-in barbecue and a pizza oven for special meals in the warm evening air together, and, of course, there's that all-important private pool to swim and splash in at any time of the day or night.
