The Real Greek

The Real Greek: Aegean South

From the stone exterior and unspoiled surroundings to the timber-framed interiors and marble floors, this villa promises an authentic stay in a very traditional home. Located just a two-minute drive from Pefkos and a ten-minute drive to Lindos, you'll be able to hop in your rental car and explore the beautiful island of Rhodes with ease. Alternatively, you're just steps from an empty beach, right in front of the villa.

Inside, you'll instantly notice the high-end touch that's been given to the open living space – most notably the modern furnishings and stylish fireplace that blend with the home's natural materials to make for a calm and comfortable base to unwind.

But as much as we adore the elegant interiors, summer in the Greek islands is lived outdoors. Days begin with a morning coffee on the rooftop terrace, overlooking the shimmering sea, listening to the gentle breeze rustling through the olive groves and surrounding trees. Swim a few laps of the pool before drying off on a lounger of your choosing.

There's plenty of space for the entire group to spill out and relax, and there's an alfresco dining area to look forward to later on. Watch the sunset with a glass of the holiday favourite, before firing up the barbecue and feasting together in true Greek fashion.
