Description Aegean Drift: Akrotiri

With unfettered views of the Aegean Sea and the Caldera of Santorini, this ideally positioned villa is all about slowing down and switching off. Inside, it’s rustic and homespun with contemporary touches where it matters. There’s a fully-equipped kitchen for putting together Greek mezze platters and a whitewashed living space where sink-in sofas are the ideal place to start the day, especially with an iced coffee in hand.

Push open the French doors and step out onto the patio. Watch the world pass by from the edge of the infinity pool or lie back and relax on a lounger. Come together in the shade of the pergola to plan your island adventure – we recommend putting a trip to Akrotiri Lighthouse at the top of your list, it’s only an eight-minute drive away. Brush up on your history knowledge at the Ancient Thera or scuba dive at Caldera Beach, a ten-minute walk from your doorstep.

In the evening, pour yourself a glass of wine and bask in the glow of the sunset, then treat yourself to a pamper session in the Jacuzzi – an idyllic end to another perfect day.
