One of only three villas to enjoy private access to sandy Polis Beach, this home is a treat indeed. From the hillside vantage point, you’ve got uninterrupted views of the horseshoe bay below, where crystal shallows lap at bone-white sand and boat charters await at the stone harbour. A leisurely twenty-five-minute walk into the hills (or a five-minute drive) sees you in the town of Stavros, where you’ll find a handful of tavernas, cafés and supermarkets. Or, make the ten-minute drive along the coast to Frikes for a bigger selection of places to dine. While away the days on the terrace, which juts out of the hillside, overlooking the bay.

We love the sunny bedroom, with its window out to the bay and double glass doors opening straight onto the terrace. Follow the private path straight down to Polis Beach, a short stroll away. In the bay, you’ve got a rustic kantina and pier where you can hire a boat for the day. That’s not to mention the horse-shoe of pristine, sandy beach. Heading just along the ...More Details
