This monochrome delight in the centre of Thessaloniki first caught our attention with its cool and consistent colour scheme. We especially love the sleek black kitchen, ideal for the budding chefs in the group, and the balcony with its view of the local area. Unfortunately, there isn't enough sofa space for everyone in the living room, but the home's excellent location means you'll have plenty of excuses to head out – you'll find a myriad of parks, museums and restaurants just a short stroll away.

Nice to haves

If this home offers something above all else, it's views. Out front, you can gaze out over the Aegean Sea, while the terrace behind faces out toward the imposing Mount Olympus. But it doesn't just have views – a seven-minute stroll will take you to Fourka beach, while the restaurants and bars of Fourka village are even closer. Back at home, the large garden, while rather empty, is perfect for family football games. Let the kids tire themselves out before bed, and then enjoy the sunset views peacefully from the outdoor seating area.

Home on the Green

Dryer

Cot / Crib

Single-Level Home

A functional apartment in central Thessaloniki with style to spare, we think this home is perfect for families or friends looking to spend an extended period in the city or who want a short city break. With all the amenities you'll need, you won't have to dine out every night nor use a laundrette here. Within a two-kilometre radius, you'll find Aristotelous Square, the White Tower of Thessaloniki, and Ladadika, making the home a great base to explore the city. 

The Greek Hymn

Discover Thessaloniki, a city known for its vibrant arts scene and culinary delights, from this cosy and simple apartment. We think it's ideal for getting to know the city, whether you're travelling for work or leisure. You'll have your own small balcony here – while it overlooks neighbouring buildings and may not feel the most private, there's enough space to enjoy an evening drink and fresh air. At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, and if you're planning on staying indoors a lot, things might feel a little cramped. There's parking here though, and you'll want a car for exploring the city's attractions and nearby beaches.

Artistic Getaway

Free Parking On Premises

Mosquito Net

Child Friendly

Between the ancient villages of Afytos and Nees Fokaies, this maisonette apartment puts the Aegean within striking distance. It’s a 250-metre walk to a serene slice of sandy beach lapped by crystal shallows. Or, spend the day by the shared swimming pool, dipping in and out and retreating to a lounger on the private terrace. This is the perfect spot for a sundowner or two. On the ground floor, you’ll find an open living area embracing old-world charm for social evenings in style. Upstairs, two bedrooms are simply decorated letting the old stonework speak for itself. 


Blue Perspectives

Step-Free Access

First Aid Kit

Charming and tranquil, this Scandi-style home sits in the heart of the historic city of Thessaloniki, within easy reach of sightseeing spots such as the Arch of Galerius and Rotunda. We love how the host has styled this home, with a sense of hygge running throughout – reclaimed wooden furniture and artistically tiled floors all add to the trendy feel. It features everything you need for a cosy home-from-home stay, and also has a little balcony where you can enjoy your coffee while listening to the sounds of the city.

Hygge at Heart

This practical studio apartment is ideal for a couple or solo traveller looking to explore Thessaloniki’s sights. And, thanks to the dedicated desk space, it’s perfect for those in town on business too. While space is limited and the kitchenette is best suited to light bites due to its lack of oven, the home’s location puts you within easy reach of plenty of must-sees, including the Church of the Holy Apostles, Aristotelous Square and the Roman Forum of Thessaloniki. With your host able to provide lots of local recommendations, as well as a plethora of extras like massages, sailing trips and activity-filled excursions, you’re in for a memorable stay.  


Daskalos

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

A short drive away from Kallithea sits the tiny village of Afytos. More laid-back than other towns in Halkidiki, it's a great spot for a low-key getaway – and it's where you'll find this pet-friendly apartment. Perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea, the private terrace is ideal for soaking up the sunshine and scenery. It's part of a resort, so you'll also have access to a communal swimming pool (open seasonally) and the small bay at the base of the (very steep) hill. The interiors are a little lacklustre and veer towards dated, but the location speaks for itself. Your host is also happy to arrange excursions, boat trips and other fun-filled activities for a fee.

Edge of the Sea

Bathtub

You'll find this apartment in the heart of Thessaloniki. Restaurants on your doorstep, landmarks within walking distance, the sea only a short stroll away – how's that for a top-notch location? The apartment itself isn't bad, either. We like the jungle themed-design, and although some rooms are a little dated (namely the bathroom), there's a decent amount of space here for families and friends. But our favourite is the small balcony overlooking the street – it's the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine in the salt-tinged air.

Grecian Jungle

Exploring the UNESCO city of Thessaloniki and other Northern Greece gems is a cinch from this pocket-sized studio apartment. You're within easy walking distance of Thessaloniki train station, and there's free street parking right outside. Granted, the kitchenette is small, but it's surprisingly well-equipped. The private balcony for evening drinks is a nice touch too. It's worth noting, though, if three of you share, the last guest will have to make do with a sofa bed –⁠ so privacy and space are lacking here. Expect to pay a small fee for your initial supply of bedding and towels, too.

If you’re looking for the perfect place to spend an unforgettable holiday with your friends or family – this large villa in Halkidiki ticks all the boxes. This stunning property comes with some amazing amenities, such as an infinity pool, observation deck and outdoor speakers to have a boogie in the garden. It even has its own private beach, complete with sun loungers and shades. You can stock up on Greek delicacies in the village for a barbecue night, or you can let a private chef cook up a storm for you. 

Hera's Hideaway

This modern apartment is a fuss-free base to return to after days spent exploring sun-soaked Thessaloniki. We recommend hiring a car if you want to visit the beach or attractions such as the Church of Saint Paul and the White Tower. You will, however, find restaurants close by, which is handy, as the kitchen here is only suitable for light bites. The home also features a private balcony for enjoying a cup of coffee, and the pared-back bedroom is plenty comfortable. 

Grecian Breeze

Situated along the Old Port, this modern pad places you in a prime position for exploring ancient Thessaloniki. Whether you've taken a short drive to the beach or hit the nearby shops, bars and tavernas, there's plenty of room for your group to sprawl out and relax here after a day of exploring. Inside, it's not the most soulful or inspiring space, but it's practical and fully equipped for a fuss-free stay. The kitchenette is suitable for preparing light bites when you're not out sampling the local cuisine. And, you'll have access to a private terrace, which may not offer the best views, though we still think it's a charming spot to enjoy your evening glass of wine.

This large Greek villa sits on a private plot of land affording you a perfectly peaceful stay, complete with a grassy area for children to play in. Relax beside the pool in the warmth of the sunshine before slipping into the cooling waters of your private pool from which you can enjoy more of the stunning views. Take in your surroundings from three different terrace areas that are shaded by pergolas, read a good book from the comfort of a hammock or get some work done in the office space – just try not to get distracted by the amazing panoramic vista outside the window.
 
This home even offers a vegetable garden with organic, fresh produce and a fragrant herb garden – ensuring your meals here will always be home-grown, flavoursome and delicious. Why not take full advantage of the barbecue and stone pizza oven to cook alfresco in the evenings before dining outside with a view of the turquoise ocean?

If you do want to venture out for the day and head to the beach, it's just a twenty-minute drive away – or drive a little further to Volos and learn some history at the Archaeological Museum. 

Villa Pontus

A short stroll from the cobbled streets, bars, eateries and shops of Ladadika, this home serves as a practical base for exploring Thessaloniki. With the sleeping arrangements including a sofa bed, we think this home is better suited to families. While the home might be a little cramped at full capacity, the balcony makes for a great spot to spend golden hour, and you've got everything you need here for an extended stay, including a washing machine. Outside, you'll find yourself a short stroll from the shoreline.

Seized at Sea

Satellite / Cable TV

At this stylish villa, just a seven-minute walk from Fourka Beach, it’s all about embracing the Mediterranean lifestyle. Days are to be spent outside, splashing about in the pool and reading your book from the comfort of the hanging egg chair. Stretch out in the dappled shade of the chill-out area, basking in the scent of peppermint, rosemary and thyme that drifts from your garden. Why not harvest a few sprigs and add to homemade cocktails; serve alongside fresh, local produce hot off the barbecue.  

Should you want to take a break from the heat, the sun-washed living space with its rattan and driftwood-effect textures are calming and cool. Slide open the glass doors and let in a gentle Aegean breeze. If exploring is on the itinerary, jump in the car and take the twenty-five-minute drive to Mavrobara Turtle Lake or stay local and explore Halkidiki’s exceptional west coast.

Fresh Peppermint

With its enviable location in the centre of Thessaloniki, exploring the city comes easily here. You’ll find a whole host of restaurants and bars on your doorstep, ready to serve up some delicious cuisine, and you’re within walking distance of many local sights and monuments too – a car really isn’t necessary. The quaint balcony is a nice added extra and offers a sunny spot for a morning cuppa or evening tipple. Perfect for couples or solo travellers, you’re equipped with all you need for a comfortable stay, including a desk for remote working. 


Greek Glaze

Close to the Church of Holy Apostles, this cosy apartment makes for the perfect base for exploring Thessaloniki. Though the kitchenette is small, it does have all of the key appliances needed to whip up a home-cooked meal, though we’d recommend sampling some of the local eateries. Featuring a double bedroom and a single sofa bed, we think this home is best suited to a couple looking for a romantic break or a small family. Paid parking is available close to the apartment, but with so many bus stops close by it’s easy to get around the city on public transport. 

Greek Oasis

Ceiling Fans

Hammock

Outdoor Shower

Alarm System

Situated within fifteen acres of private land on the Kassandra peninsula –this villa perches alongside its neighbours on the hillside in Halkidiki. Perfect for families or groups of friends – this contemporary home can accommodate up to eight people. The terrace and pool area are great for alfresco dining, while the balcony remains the ultimate spot to watch the sunset over Mount Olympus. Fancy a trip to the beach? You can enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea in just seven minutes on foot. While bars and restaurants in the local town are just fifteen minutes away. 


Halkidiki Hideaway

Small but perfectly formed, this Thessaloniki home sits in a prestigious spot in the very heart of the city, so it's a fantastic choice for those who want to live like a local and be within walking distance of all the best sights and spots. It's a studio apartment, so it's on the cramped side – but it's ideal for an adventurous couple or solo traveller. The host has arranged the home in a clever way, to maximise every inch of space, so you'll find you have everything you need for an easy stay.

Cool Cocoon

Escape the city buzz and unwind with stretching views of Pagasitikos Bay. In keeping with the local way of life, this home centres around outdoor living with its plunge pool and inviting pergola, perfect for all hours. Indoors, the practical workspace and open fireplace offer thoughtful touches for business and pleasure. After a hammock snooze under the mulberry tree, how about Greek refreshments in a nearby taverna? Even better, the mountain roads can lead you to beaches or Katafidi Waterfall.

Sweetness of Summer

DVD Library

Views don’t get much better than these. This villa is perched on a sloping mountain, with Pagasitikos Bay spanning ahead. It’s a place to truly connect with nature, whether that’s by exploring on a mountain bike, savouring a coffee while taking in the view, or making lunch with your host’s homegrown vegetables and herbs. 

Having your own pool is one thing, but this hillside infinity pool is another thing entirely. Close the distance between you and the sea, swimming to the edge for unobstructed views. And on clear days (which really, is most days in Greece) you’ll see the dramatic mountains ahead, melting into the bay.

Let the hours pass by blissfully, swinging in the hammock, reading by the pool, or playing a game of cards on the patio, until dinnertime. Whip up homemade pizzas or Greek barbecued feasts with the outdoor stone baking oven.

There’s an authenticity to this home that isn’t apparent in all Greek villas. Inside, the cream walls and swaths of dark wood perfectly embody a traditional hillside home. It might not be the most luxurious, but it’s bursting with character. Embrace the authenticity and explore your location of Agios Vlasios, a small, ancient village, and other nearby towns. Despite being on a hillside, you’re never far from a beach – spend days on the soft, golden sands of the Pagasetic Gulf.

Strong Roots

A mere forty metres away from the Halkidiki coastline, this pair of sea-facing villas on the same green plot is ready and waiting to be the backdrop of a holiday that lives long in the memories of all lucky enough to be there. 

Both houses share the same contemporary style, with large windows and glass doors letting in plenty of natural light, which is accentuated by the white walls and glossy tile flooring. The furnishings are certainly on the minimalist side of things, but there are some characterful design choices nonetheless, including a bright orange kitchen.

It's not an exaggeration to say that you can rely on the weather to be pretty pleasant around these parts and there are plenty of ways to enjoy this fortuitous climate. Three of the bedrooms in the main villa have a balcony, but for everyone else, the sprawling garden and terraces will be just the ticket.

Add to that the wealth of distractions that lie nearby, including the sparkling waters of the Toronean Gulf a minute's walk from the home. Further down the coastline, the town of Polychrono is only five minutes away in the car, while Mavrobara Turtle Lake takes just over ten.

World in Motion

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

You’ll find this home in the heart of Thessaloniki, making it a perfect base for exploring the city. Though not the biggest, this is a comfortable home for four guests and the balcony is a nice touch, offering a sunny spot for your morning coffee. Parking can be tricky and you’ll need to pay in the city centre, but transport links are just five minutes away at Aristotelous Square, and with local amenities and sights within walking distance of the apartment, we’d recommend exploring on foot. 


Visions of Teal

Rain Shower

Luxury Toiletries

Bathrobes

Located in the Greek Pelion region, this cliffside villa is perfectly set up for groups of friends and families looking to get away from it all. You're surrounded by the dramatic landscape of the mountain, so there'll be nothing to disturb you here but the gentle breeze rustling through the old fir trees and lush vegetation, ensuring a relaxing, stress-free stay. 

At this particular villa, you're well catered for when it comes to inviting alfresco areas – including several poolside sun loungers, a hammock and a summer kitchen, as well as three veranda terraces with a dining table overlooking the beautiful sea views in the distance. When dinnertime beckons, enjoy one last dip in your private pool before grilling locally sourced produce on the barbecue and feasting together under the shaded pergola. 

On the ground floor, you'll immediately notice the high-end touch that's been given to the traditional space – from the modern fireplace to the wood-framed sofa, basket chairs and stylish decor. It's the ideal spot to flop down with a good book or a cup of Greek coffee. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms with original wood-beamed ceilings and even space for working from home. Combining natural materials with contemporary interiors, we think it's a lovely villa to call home for a while. 

Head out to explore and in addition to the small towns nearby, the nearest sandy beach of Paralia Platanidia, boasting crystal-clear waters and picturesque shores, is just twenty-five minutes away by car. 

Mainland Mist

Throws

Escape the island's crowds and discover the quiet coastlines and dramatic terrain of Greece's mainland peninsular instead at this hideaway nestled high in the hillsides of Pelion. Commanding the most astonishing views of the sea, and with a picture-perfect village just a short stroll away, settings don't get much more idyllic than this.

Savour long, lazy lunches beneath the pergola. Slope away to the hammock beneath the mulberry tree and lose yourself in a good book. Or beat the heat with a dip in the infinity pool. Wherever you choose to be, those views will be right there. 

Inside, while this home may not be the most luxurious in our portfolio, it brings all the rustic charm that you'd hope from a sleepy mountain village abode. Beneath the villa's exposed wooden rafters, bespoke carpentry and statement lighting fuse together for a refreshing touch of modernity. And there's everything you need to rustle up a bite to eat in the compact but well-equipped, modern kitchen.

When it's time for adventure, seek out the hiking trails lacing through the surrounding hillsides. Take an amble into the dreamy village of Agios Geogrios Nilia (seven minutes on foot) for a feast in its traditional tavernas. Or follow the winding mountain roads down through the clouds and chestnut forests to the sandy beaches (half an hour's drive).

Up, Up & Away

Set in a small, exclusive complex that features fifteen acres of grounds, this contemporary home has an incredible view of the Aegean. Sleek and super comfortable, it's the perfect spot if you value your modern luxuries. Here you'll be forever gazing out across the bay, with fabulous views from the terrace, private pool and bedroom balcony – where a glass balustrade and floor-to-ceiling bedroom windows make sure nothing detracts from the vista.

Inside, it's decorated in soft, calming tones, with comfy furnishings and a small, but practical kitchen. Touches of colour come in the form of typically blue Greek tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms. Perfect for a family, the lucky guests staying in the spacious master bedroom will have a stylish in-room wet room with a Jacuzzi shower, too.

Just a seven-minute walk from Fourka village and its beach, this place is in a quiet spot but with easy access to beach bars and tavernas. And at the end of the day, it's a pleasure to come home to a barbecue on the terrace as the sun sets.

Enceladus Moon

Nestled on the Kassandra peninsula, this villa lies close to a number of beaches – with Fourka beach a mere seven-minute walk away. For those looking for a taste of local nightlife, there’s a vibrant bar scene here too. Indoors and outdoors, you can soak up the views of the Aegean Sea –  our favourite spot for this is from the cooling comfort of the private pool. Sleeping up to eight guests, the villa is perfect for families or groups of friends – just be mindful that at full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the main bedroom. 

Turquoise Tide

This Greek villa located in Halkidiki is the perfect home for beach holidays with its private access, you can be on the sands with the waves lapping at your ankles in just one minute on foot. Start your days here with an iced frappé coffee on the balconies – which can be accessed via any of the three main bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms offer incredible views of the ocean, while the third overlooks the green garden below. 

Then, head straight to the beach or enjoy a few relaxing hours sunbathing on one of the loungers on the lawn. If you’re in need of some shade, why not spend some time in the games room where you can read a good book or get competitive with a board game? Take advantage of the yoga and Pilates classes offered by your host, and unwind as you practise your poses.

Go turtle watching at Mavrobara Turtle Lake – a small lake surrounded by pines, which is home to three separate species of endangered European water turtle – reachable in just eleven minutes by car. Or, go on a water sports adventure which can be reached in just a two-minute walk. 

For mealtimes, there are many shops and restaurants just a three-minute drive away, and we would highly recommend trying the fresh fish dishes on offer including at Azur Sea Food Restaurant, which is a short five-minute walk away. If you’d rather cook at home for the evening, then why not barbecue some delicious souvlaki and enjoy it alfresco with the bottle of wine from your welcome hamper?

Its modern interiors of clean lines and an expansive garden shaded by ancient pines make this home conducive to switching off from the rest of the world.

Children can tire themselves out on the basketball court and enjoy a movie on the full HD 150” projector. The whole family can get together for an alfresco meal cooked on the barbecue or make time to discover the excellent restaurants at Sani Marina.

Abstract Pine

Sitting in an elevated position overlooking the historic streets of Thessaloniki, this trendy apartment provides a cosy home for a couple or a small family to return to after busy days spent discovering all this coastal city has to offer. It's super central too, so it makes a great base for visiting historic sites and sight-seeing spots. Contemporary and stylish, it features some cool artwork and soft furnishings that give it some character. Head out to the balcony and enjoy gazing out over the city – the ideal place to watch the sunset from on sleepy evenings in.

A View Over History

Shared Pool

In the pretty village of Rastoni, this maisonette is a great base for exploring Kassandra. Located just 250 metres from the beach, you can enjoy strolls across the bridge to make the most of the beautiful coastline. You’ll have your own garden here, with plenty of space to sunbathe and relax, as well as let the kids run around and blow off some steam. To the front of the house you’ll find a shared swimming pool, while you’ll have a balcony and alfresco dining terrace all to yourself if you want some privacy. 


Nestled in the Sun

A clear blue swimming pool or the crystalline Aegean Sea – the choice is yours at this villa on the Kassandra Peninsula. You’re just a few metres from the beach, yet the buzzing coastal towns of Pefkohori and Chaniotis are both a five-minute drive away. A stone path leads across the lawn to the shimmering swimming pool. Two levels of balconies and terraces give you a choice of spots for drinks outside. The bright and open living area is a stylish spot for the group to hang out and each bedroom opens up to a terrace, balcony or patio.

Wake up to the calls of songbirds each morning at this character home in the hills of Tsagkarada – the gem of Pelion. With stunning sea views and luxury interiors, you'll feel as though you're the kings of the castle. Nestled in a natural setting, it's been lovingly modernised with a great deal of attention paid to its eco-credentials. It's far from rustic, despite its stone walls and shutters, with spacious rooms, comfortable bedrooms and stylish bathrooms. Cosy, organic bedding and locally-produced natural bathroom essentials mean you needn't worry too much about your carbon footprint. Cook your meals in the kitchen, where everything you could need has already been thought of, and choose between eating at the pretty dining table in the open-plan living room, or outside on the terrace. This home's most impressive feature, it's a private and beautifully furnished outside space with incredible sea views to the front – and a tucked-away spot where you'll find the hot tub. By day, explore the local villages and beaches – Fakistra is a ten-minute drive away and not far away you'll find Damouchari, where some of the film Mama Mia was shot.
