Description Sea Level: Nikiti

With merely a blade of grass out of place, this immaculate villa offers sublime views across the water to Diaporos Island and Mount Athos. With direct access to the white sands of Vourvourou beach, you'll spend long, languorous days swimming in the sea and bathing on the soft powder before sauntering back up to your private home for a bite to eat.

Encouraging outdoor living, at this particular villa, you'll find an impressive array of alfresco areas – including several sun loungers, a sun terrace, a dining area with covered seating and a built-in barbecue, as well as a beautifully-kept garden to wander in. Days begin with a fresh Greek coffee in the comfort of a trendy Acapulco chair, before strolling down to the beach. Or, perhaps you'll opt for a relaxing massage, while active types may choose to book an excursion or boat trip – all can be arranged through your host. But, we wouldn't blame you for whiling the hours away back at your tranquil, sea-facing villa.
