Calypso's Calling

This is the Greece from the movies. The ones where heroes swim in azure seas, eat fresh seafood in local tavernas, and fall in love underneath star-strewn skies. While we can't promise the latter, this home's incredible location is sure to blow you away. Blending into cerulean skies and aquamarine waters, the infinity pool is where most of your days will be spent. For a change of scenery, follow the stone path down to the rocky outcrop to dive into the ocean. Your most stressful decision will inevitably be relaxing under the pergola, soaking in the views of Zante, or on the plot's patio, curled up with a good book in the swinging egg chair. Interiors are homely and simple, with muted pastel colours and floral prints. Several of the bedrooms have their own balconies, meaning that you can start each morning admiring mother nature's work. Come dinnertime, the modern kitchen has everything needed for family meals, but we have a sneaking suspicion that most things will be done outside, on the large built-in barbecue.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool is not fenced in so small children should be kept an eye on
*The home is found down an unmade road – we recommend having a car, and there is parking at the home
*There is access to the sea directly from the home, but if you want a sandy beach, it's a five-minute drive
*The interior of the home may be a little small but the location is unbeatable
