Just seconds away from the gorgeous Ionian Coast, this two-storey home's beachside location more than makes up for its lack of a pool. There are several spots to look out over the turquoise water here – perfect for alfresco dining or a sunset cocktail. You'll even find an outdoor Jacuzzi to retire to once it's dark. Indoors, we weren't as keen on the simple decor, but everything you'll need for an extended stay is there. If you tire of days at the beach – and given the home provides access to kayaks, we'll wonder if you will – you'll find the historic towns of Sava and Taranto a short drive away.

Local guide
About Taranto
Also known as the “island city”, the Centro Storico of Taranto isn’t actually in the centre. An imposing stone fortress from the 15th century dominates the artificial island, where you’ll find the atmospheric streets of Taranto’s old quarter. A little further back in time, this place was once the ancient Greek colony of Taras, and you can still see crumbling ruins of Doric temples dating back to 6 BCE –...
