Wake up each morning to a stunning expanse of azure sea and sky when you stay at this villa on Patmos island. Located in the upscale area of Epsimia Bay, the five-bedroom home guarantees true escapism, with only the rugged landscape and a thousand-year-old monastery as your neighbours. Unspoiled beaches are one of Patmos' many charms. Just moments away, Epsimia's idyllic beach sits among low craggy hills, opening up to rich turquoise waters with uninhabited islets scattered across the horizon. The fishing village of Grikos is just a five-minute drive away – here, you'll find traditional tavernas serving exquisite seafood, as well as mini markets where you can pick up all the necessities. But you may decide to spend most of your time on the serene grounds of the villa – and who could blame you? The large infinity pool provides panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding countryside, while the inside living space offers a comfortable retreat from the piercing Greek sun. Whip up fresh lunches in the high-spec kitchen – think crusty, locally-made bread drizzled in peppery olive oil – and get settled at the shaded dining table to enjoy the simple pleasures of island life.
