Surrounded by olive groves and situated a five-minute walk from Boukas Beach, this stone villa offers peace and quiet away from the buzz of Zante town. Inside, it’s modern yet charming with a farmhouse-style kitchen and quaint patterned fabrics. Drop your bags in the unfussy bedrooms before heading out into the garden to soak up the golden Mediterranean sunshine.

Pick out a lounger or plunge into the pool and when you start to feel peckish, fire up the barbecue ready for a slap-up Greek-inspired lunch. When you’re itching to explore, call upon the help of your host and embark on a yachting tour of the island’s east coast. Or why not head north to Skinari, a forty-seven-minute drive away, for boat trips to the famous Shipwreck Cove and Blue Caves.
