World in Motion: Macedonia Central

A mere forty metres away from the Halkidiki coastline, this pair of sea-facing villas on the same green plot is ready and waiting to be the backdrop of a holiday that lives long in the memories of all lucky enough to be there.

Both houses share the same contemporary style, with large windows and glass doors letting in plenty of natural light, which is accentuated by the white walls and glossy tile flooring. The furnishings are certainly on the minimalist side of things, but there are some characterful design choices nonetheless, including a bright orange kitchen.

It's not an exaggeration to say that you can rely on the weather to be pretty pleasant around these parts and there are plenty of ways to enjoy this fortuitous climate. Three of the bedrooms in the main villa have a balcony, but for everyone else, the sprawling garden and terraces will be just the ticket.

Add to that the wealth of distractions that lie nearby, including the sparkling waters of the Toronean Gulf a minute's walk from the home. Further down the coastline, the town of Polychrono is only five minutes away in the car, while Mavrobara Turtle Lake takes just over ten.

Home truths:
*The smaller villa is spread over a single floor, so might be more suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*There's room to park on the premises
*Once-weekly cleaning and gardening are included in the price
