Olives All Around

Olives All Around: Ionian Islands

This stone-built hillside home on the Greek island of Lefkas has a lot going for it. Located in the harbour village of Sivota and surrounded by olive groves, this four-bedroom home boasts a private, outdoor swimming pool and a terrace with a pergola from which to admire stunning sea views. What’s more, there’s an outdoor kitchen and a covered alfresco dining area – perfect for making the most of sunny days and balmy nights. Although family-friendly, it’s worth noting that this home’s ladder-effect balconies and low stone walls mean young children should be kept an eye on.
