Nestled in the hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this villa is all about kicking back and letting the day pass you by. While the interior could do with an update, the place has everything you need to feel right at home, including a wellness room with a Jacuzzi tub. Though we think you’ll spend most of your time outside – just look at those views from the balcony and private pool. If exploring is on the agenda, you’ll find Plakas Beach and a handful of restaurants just a short walk from your doorstep.
