Description That's More Like It: Glisidia

Dramatically overlooking the Aegean and surrounded by acres of Mediterranean countryside, this laidback villa is all about taking it easy in the sunshine. Pick a spot to relax on the sprawling patio – will it be a poolside lounger or a comfy sofa in the shade? When lunchtime rolls around, head upstairs to the covered balcony and tuck into Greek-inspired dishes accompanied with unobstructed views of the landscape.

Inside, expect modern design meets boho chic. The living space is all white, wood, and linen, with subtle blue accents that match the colour of the nearby surf. Bedrooms are simple yet cosy – the perfect combination for an uninterrupted night’s sleep.

When you’re not gently swaying with the breeze in the wicker egg chair or sipping an iced coffee on the terrace, you’ll be lounging on the sands of Agia Irini Beach, a seven-minute car ride away. If you’re keen to stretch your legs, take a stroll through the Agios Charalampos-Lagkada Nature Reserve – it’s less than a ten-minute drive from your doorstep.
