Neptune's Temple

Knowing what to flaunt, this secluded villa takes every opportunity to show off views of the deep blue Aegean sea – whether from the private swimming pool, the balcony or the bench-style seating area made for alfresco dining. It gets bonus points for the jacuzzi, barbecue and games room, where young ones will undoubtedly spend evenings playing table football. Location-wise, Akrotiri is a sanctum to the prehistoric, and you'll find plenty of pebbled coves around. The Chapel of Panagia Theoskepasti is four minutes away, and there's an archaeological site to visit between visits to the local tavernas.
