The village of Ouranoupoli is the last stop for pilgrims before travelling across the water to the Holy Moutain, or Mount Athos. While this incredible trip is what draws most visitors, the beauty of the town’s beaches, architecture, and neighbouring forest is undeniable. And just a six-minute drive from here, your villa offers an ideal base for exploring these striking lands. Your front patio is located in the most perfect setting – upon arrival, you'll immediately see wide vistas across sapphire waters, stretching as far as Ammouliani Island. But just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you’ve got sun loungers, an alfresco dining terrace, and a pool deck in tow. Plunge into the heated pool and rinse off in the outdoor shower before wandering inside to dry off. Glass doors welcome you into modern, sophisticated interiors where understatement is the real charm. This allows the incredible views to remain the most important feature. Pop some local wine in the chiller and get in touch with your host to arrange for the in-house dining service for the evening ahead. Fresh, Greek fare and flowing wine sounds just the ticket for watching the sunset roll in.
