The Sea Around Us

Here’s how an average day reads at this sea-facing villa perched just a short flip-flop from the dazzling waters of Barbati Beach. First, slide back the glass doors for some morning sea air on the oh-so-private terrace as you savour lazy breakfasts and freshly brewed coffees followed by a morning dip in the pool.

Next, it’s off to the beach (just 600 metres away) to bag yourselves a spot along the smooth pebble sands of the shore. The turquoise, calm waters here are made for snorkelling and swimming.

Time to beat the midday heat? Then dive into one of the local restaurants set back from Barbati’s Beach for a meze spread and a crisp glass of Retsina. On your way home, you can always swing by the local markets to pick up the night’s dinner (the local seafood is phenomenal here), before heading back to this pristine, newly-built villa. While kids have one last go splashing about in the pool, you can fire up the barbecue to cook up a alfresco feast. Then all that’s left to do is find your perch for a sunset spectacle over sundowners. It's everything you've been dreaming of.
