Poseidon & Korkyra Kassiopi, Corfu

Property Description

While it would be a stretch to say this villa lies a stone's throw from Kogevina Beach – unless you've got a particularly mighty overarm on you – the fact of the matter is that it isn't very far from the invitingly blue waters of Avlaki Bay.

It's so close that you can gaze out at the coastal scenery from the first-floor balcony. Head down to the covered terrace a level below and the view's no longer there, but you are greeted by one of the home's best amenities – the large swimming pool surrounded by loungers that's sure to be appreciated during the hottest part of the year.

Behind the villa's peach-covered walls, the living quarters are simple in style with the colour palette rarely veering from bright whites and neutrals, and the furnishings and finishes are decidedly understated, too. However, we don't see this as a problem, especially as the basics are nailed so well – just look at the kitchen and smartly tiled bathrooms to see what we mean.

When a visit to the beach is in order, you only have two hundred metres to walk until you're standing on the sand and the larger Avlaki Beach isn't that much further down the coastline. The town of Kassiopi can also easily be reached on foot whenever you need restaurants or shops.
