Gulf View

Gulf View: Macedonia Central

If easy access to the beach is top of your holiday wishlist, then it doesn't get much easier than this. Located just a few steps away from a gorgeous sandy shoreline, this home in Halkidiki is the perfect beachfront retreat for those craving a dose of Vitamin Sea.

Step inside, and you'll feel a sense of calm in every corner of the villa. The gorgeous blue colour scheme reminds you that the water is right at the bottom of the garden, while the white beams and exposed stone echo traditional Greek architecture. Meals are best enjoyed outside on the terrace, under the shade of the pergola, as you breathe in the fresh sea air. And, as night falls, you can listen to music on the outdoor sound system and enjoy a bottle of wine together in perfect peace.

The nearby beach has soft white sand and sparkling clear water – you could spend an eternity here swimming and soaking up the sun. However, there is plenty to do in the surrounding area if you fancy a change of scene. Ierissos village is only 5km away, where you'll find charming tavernas serving up fresh seafood. You can also hop on a boat to visit the pretty island of Ammoulliani, and holy Mount Athos is only a 25-minute drive away.
