Cycladic Glow

Sunseekers, rejoice. Just steps from the beach, at this idyllic Greek villa you'll wake to the sounds and scents of saltwater lapping on the shore. Breathe it all in from a poolside lounger, or put your feet up in the light-filled living space with your favourite book in hand.

Inside, the home is clean and fresh, with touches of traditional Grecian architecture including organic wall alcoves and wooden ceiling beams. The overall mood is laidback and stress-free, setting the tone for your stay here.

When the sea beckons, you won't have to travel far. Drift just twenty metres from your front door to reach the golden stretch of Plaka breach. The unspoiled spot may as well be your front garden. While away hours laying on the sand – your host will provide beach towels – in between dips in the Aegean Sea. Head home and wash off in the outdoor shower before lighting up the barbecue and ending the day on a delicious note.
