Portara

Comprised of two entirely self-sufficient villas, this dynamic duo make for a perfect couple's retreat or family getaway. In addition to a private pool, separate kitchens and living areas, each villa is equipped with one double bedroom and three sofa beds, capable of accommodating two additional adults or three children. Just a short walk away, you'll find the dune-backed Blue Flag-awarded Agios Georgios Beach and the windsurfing mecca of Laguna Beach. Just a couple of kilometres from the centre of the capital, Chora, you're in a prime location to explore the whitewashed buildings, winding alleys and Venetian castle standing guard over its Old Town.
