There's just no beating a home like this. Right on the beach and with a huge terrace overlooking the water, it's a sleek, modern home with plenty of space for a large group. One for the water babies, every morning you'll have the choice of swimming in the crystal clear sea or the perfect private pool.

Inside, this stunning home is a symphony of white, with colour coming in the form of bright orange window frames throughout. There's a large, open-plan living space with a fireplace for the cooler months and a comfy sofa area, along with a long dining table and a high-spec kitchen. One of our favourite features is the glazed inner courtyard, where giant cacti, volcanic rocks and the little matter of an indoor palm tree make quite a statement. Bedrooms are all bright and comfortable, with some opening straight onto the terrace, while one has a mezzanine level and its own seating area.

Just a twenty-minute drive from Lindos, known for its fabulous restaurants and nightlife, you'll also be a fifteen-minute drive from the windsurfing beach at Prasonisi, with supermarkets even closer. Best of all, you're just a five-minute drive from one of the island's most famous beach bars.
