We love this villa's mountain backdrop and private infinity pool overlooking the Libyan Sea. There's a covered terrace to enjoy a Greek meze, too, while there are more sea vistas to admire from the living space and main bedroom, too. This home's location probably couldn't be any more idyllic. It's a stroll from the sandy beach of Laki, and several tavernas are nearby. For everyday amenities such as supermarkets, it's a short drive to the village of Fragokastello – we'd recommend having a car here.
