Poseidon's Glory

With its waterfront swimming pool and stunning sea views, this villa had us hooked instantly. While the scenery does most of the talking here, don't let that fool you – inside and out, this place is contemporary to its core. The private bar in the games room is a nice spot to chill out indoors, while the patio offers more than enough space to relax in the sunshine. You'll find it in Keratea, a small village on the southeastern edge of the Attica Peninsula. Athens is only 30 kilometres away, so you're well-placed for day trips – not to mention within easy reach of the Aegean coast.
