Just outside the main town, this villa on Lefkas puts castle ruins, long sandy beaches and streets filled with tavernas and family-run restaurants all within striking distance. It’s a ten-minute walk to the sandy beach at Agios Ioannis, where ancient windmills stand tall against the blue sky. The sea is so blue here, it’s easy to see why Lefkas is known as the Caribbean of Greece. Fifteen minutes’ walk in the other direction sees you in the atmospheric streets of Lefkas’ main town. This villa is set in perfectly manicured gardens where the scent of lavender floats on the sea breeze. Plush outdoor lounges are tucked into the side of the house and shaded by wooden pergolas. At the heart of it all, the shimmering swimming pool invites you for a dip on hot days. Come lunchtime, a summer kitchen can provide the alfresco feast at the long dining table outside. Heading inside, the living area is open-plan and social with a wall of glass sliding back to blend the terrace into the mix. Everything in here feels light-wood and Scandi-chic, from dining table to kitchen counters. In the bonus basement you’ve got a games room with ping pong and a dedicated gym for those that want to keep fit.
