Ancient Modernity

Ancient Modernity: Macedonia Central

Where the Aegean Sea laps the shores, this tiny complex of homes has a special feature that almost trumps your private pool – a private beach. From dipping your toes in the warm waters, it’s less than a minute back to your three-floored, modern villa. From an elegant exterior of white walls and wooden panels, olive trees and lush lawns surround this 21st-century palace, letting nature in through enormous glass doors and windows.

Step in from the garden with a chilled glass of local wine in hand, to admire the fresh, minimalist decor in the living space. Its colour scheme of beige, cream, and wooden features creates a zen-like atmosphere, continuing up the spiral staircase and into every bedroom. And from up on these tranquil balconies, you can survey your kingdom of seas, mountains, islands, and beaches beyond.
