Designed by renowned Dutch architect Joris Braat, this single-storey villa with a cellar is conceived around its open sea view and set on a 2,408 sqm plot above the bay at Finikounda in south-western Messinia. Architect-led and completed in 2021, the property has a 200 sqm main floor and a 40 sqm cellar level reached by a sunken garden patio (cour anglaise) that brings daylight into a third bedroom below ground.This villa is a modern design where the architecture serves the view. The footprint is single-storey and low, with a generous open-plan main living space. The main living area is open-plan, with the kitchen integrated into the same volume. The kitchen is high-specification: induction cooktop with integrated extraction, combi oven, full-height fridge and freezer combination, and a dishwasher. The living and dining spaces open through large glazed sections to the south-facing terrace and the pool beyond, with the sea framed in the middle distance.Two bedrooms sit on the main floor, supported by two bathrooms, each fitted with a toilet, walk-in shower, and double washbasin.

The villa offers 160 sqm of terraces with open sea views.The 2,408 sqm plot is planted with olive trees and local flora. There is ample space for parking inside the premises.The villa is designed for living all year round, but its terraces, pool, and the indoor-outdoor flow cater to maximise its enjoyment in the months that matter most.Rental potential Kamaria sits within easy reach of Finikounda, one of the most consistently visited stretches of the southern Peloponnese coast, known for its clear shallow water and long sandy beach. Demand for private villa rentals in this corner of Messenia runs from late April through October, with peak weeks in July and August commanding strong nightly rates. A well-presented villa with outdoor space and a pool can generate meaningful rental income during the high season, and the relative scarcity of quality private rental stock in the area works in the owner's favour. Finikounda village itself offers enough in the way of tavernas, a small marina, and daily amenities to make it genuinely appealing to families and couples who want a quieter alternative to busier resorts further up the coast.Location - distancesKamaria is a small, unspoiled settlement in the southwestern Peloponnese, set on a hillside above the Messenian coastline with open views towards the sea. Its quiet character and traditional feel make it a natural choice for buyers looking for privacy without being far from the amenities of the coast.Finikounda is a small fishing village on the southwestern tip of the Peloponnese, roughly midway between Pylos and Methoni, two of the region's most visited historical sites. The village is best known for its long, sandy beach and exceptionally clear water, which consistently draws visitors throughout the summer season. Despite its popularity in July and August, Finikounda has retained a genuinely local character: the harbour is still active, the scale stays human, and the pace remains unhurried. Tavernas line the waterfront, and the village offers enough in the way of daily conveniences to make it comfortable as a base for exploring the wider Messenia region.Gialova is a small, unhurried coastal settlement with a long sandy beach, a relaxed waterfront, and direct access to the Gialova Lagoon, one of the most important wetlands in the Mediterranean and a haven for birdwatchers. Its proximity to the historic town of Pylos and the luxury resort facilities of the Costa Navarino make it an exceptionally well-positioned base for those seeking both tranquility and easy access to world-class amenities.Pylos is one of the most beautiful and historically resonant towns in the Peloponnese, its neoclassical architecture and elegant central square framing one of the finest natural harbours in the Mediterranean. The town sits at the heart of a region that has become an internationally recognised destination for golf, with the Costa Navarino resort just minutes away and home to four championship courses, designed by some of the world's leading golf architects, drawing players from across Europe and beyond.Finally, it is worth noting that Kalamata International Airport serves direct flights from a growing number of European cities, with connections from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and other northern European markets running throughout the summer season.Kamaria: 350 mMavrovouni Beach: 1.5 kmFinikounta: 4 kmMethoni: 10 kmPylos: 20 kmKoroni: 22 kmKalamata International Airport: 51 kmKalamata: 60 km

This four-bedroom villa sits 100 metres from the shore at Issos Beach, one of Corfu's most distinctive stretches of coastline, at the northern edge of the Natura 2000 protected Korission lagoon. Built across two fully independent levels on a 945 sqm landscaped plot, the property brings together a pool, and open sea and mountain views from an elevated veranda, in a location where the protected status of the surrounding dunes ensures the landscape around it will remain intact.The property is arranged as two self-sufficient levels, each with its own complete living configuration. This gives the villa genuine flexibility: it can function as a single residence for up to eight guests, as two independent units for two families or couples sharing the property separately, or as an owner-occupier arrangement where one level is kept for personal use, and the other operates as a rental unit. This structural independence is commercially significant for anyone considering rental income alongside personal use.The ground floor connects directly to the outdoor pool and garden, with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and an open-plan living area. The outdoor pool sits within the landscaped grounds, framed by the 945 sqm plot and the dune landscape beyond the property boundary. The upper floor is where the views come in: two en-suite bedrooms each have their own private balcony, and the expansive veranda commands a full sweep across the Ionian Sea, the Corfiot mountain range, and the western horizon where the sun sets over open water.Location - distancesIssos is a 2.4 km stretch of soft golden sand backed by the largest dune system in Corfu, where juniper scrub, sand orchids, and the wetland of Lake Korission create a landscape unlike any other beach on the island. The beach was used as a filming location for the James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only," which gives some indication of its visual character. The Natura 2000 designation covering the surrounding lagoon and dunes means no significant development is permitted in the area: the landscape is legally protected in its current form.The dune paths and the lagoon edge are walkable directly from the property. Kitesurfing and windsurfing are available at Issos, which benefits from reliable westerly winds through spring and autumn. There is a taverna immediately adjacent to the villa, providing Corfiot dining within moments of the front door. Agios Georgios South, a small resort village with tavernas, a beach bar, and basic services, is a few minutes by car.Issos Beach: 100 mAgios Georgios: 5 kmCorfu International Airport: 30 kmCorfu Town (Capital & Port): 30.5 km

Four air-conditioning units handle heating and cooling. The house is connected to the village water and sewage grid, internet is available, and mosquito nets are fitted throughout the ground-floor apartment and on the window frames of the main residence. The house is sold furnished and equipped. Excluded are all works of art and some personal items of the current owners.The private yard is one of the property’s defining features and gives the house an outdoor presence unusual for a village property of this size. Parking for two cars is included on the plot. From the upper floors, views extend across the valley and mountain landscape toward the sea.Rental potential Samos draws a steady flow of visitors through the spring-to-autumn season, with direct charter flights from Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and Scandinavia channelling guests to the Pythagorion area. The ground-floor apartment's separate entrance makes it straightforward to operate as a short-stay rental while the main house remains in personal use, with no obligation to rent either unit. Rental management services are available on the island for owners who prefer not to handle the day-to-day administration themselves.Location - distances Chora (around 1,500 permanent residents) was the capital of Samos until 1854 and retains the character of that period: neoclassical houses, cobbled lanes, stone fountains, and an old metropolitan church at the heart of village life. It is a working settlement with daily services year-round, including bakeries, cafes, tavernas, and shops. In summer, the village has an open-air cinema and hosts a young artists festival.Pythagorion, 3.5 km away, is a UNESCO World Heritage town built above the ancient city of Samos. The Eupalinos Tunnel, one of the great engineering feats of antiquity, and the nearby Temple of Hera (Heraion) are among the most visited ancient sites in the Aegean. The town has a working harbour with yacht berths, regular ferry connections to neighbouring islands including Patmos and Kalymnos, and a lively main street from May through October. The Potokaki beach, a 4 km Blue Flag stretch extending to the Pythagorion waterfront, is five minutes by car. Samos Airport is approximately 2 km from the village, with seasonal connections to major European cities.

Parikia is the capital and main port of Paros: the island's year-round hub, with a ferry to Piraeus in under three hours and an airport ten minutes from town. This three-bedroom house sits within a small development on the edge of town, oriented toward the sea, with the old town, beaches, and ferries all within easy reach.The property covers 131 sqm across two floors. The total plot is 1,000 sqm, with low dividing walls between properties; the character of the site is open and spacious rather than divided. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are distributed across the two floors. The house is sold fully furnished and equipped throughout.Double-glazed frames and air conditioning cover both heating and cooling. Hot water is supplied by a solar boiler. The property includes on-site parking and a security alarm.The 1,000 sqm plot, bounded by low walls rather than solid divisions, gives the property a sense of open space consistent with a standalone house. The property has nice sea and town views.Rental potential Three bedrooms, a shared pool, and the full infrastructure of Parikia at the door make this a property that works as both a private family base and a managed rental. Paros draws a consistent international visitor flow from May through October — the season is genuine and long. Parikia, as the island's most connected settlement, has the added advantage of functioning year-round: permanent services, regular ferry schedules, and a local population that keeps the town active outside peak summer.For buyers who plan to use the property in key weeks and rent it around the rest of the calendar, the setup is well-suited. The furnished condition and shared pool mean a rental is ready to operate without further investment.Location Parikia is the capital and main port of Paros. The old town is a genuine piece of Cycladic fabric: whitewashed cubic houses, narrow cobbled alleys, blue-domed churches, and the ruins of a 13th-century Frankish Kastro built in part from ancient marble. At its centre stands the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, the Church of a Hundred Doors, one of the earliest and best-preserved Christian basilicas in Greece, dating from the 4th century AD.Livadia beach, sheltered from the summer Meltemi winds and well-suited to families with its shallow entry and full facilities, is within walking distance north of the town. Krios beach, three kilometres from the centre and reachable by kaiki from the port, offers calm, clear water with a beach bar and restaurant. Naoussa, the island's second town with a picturesque fishing harbour and a well-established restaurant scene, is approximately 10 km to the northeast.Paros Airport is a 10-minute drive away and handles seasonal direct connections from several European cities. The fast ferry from Piraeus runs in under three hours. Naxos is 30 minutes by sea, and Mykonos is reachable in under an hour. The full arc of the Cyclades is within comfortable day-trip range.

Paleokastro is a small settlement at the northern tip of Evia, in the Artemisio area, facing the open Aegean. This house sits directly on the shore: the pebble beach is a few steps from the front door, and the sea is the immediate foreground from the ground-floor terrace. There is nothing between the front garden and the water.The property covers 106 sqm across two floors, with a 15 sqm basement below. It rests on a 422 sqm plot, while also included in the sale is the directly neighbouring 875 sqm plot, giving a total of 1297 sqm. The architecture follows the classic northern Evia residential type: white rendered walls, a terracotta-tiled roof, and warm timber-framed windows that suit the coastal setting without overpowering it. The ground floor houses an open-plan living/dining room and kitchen, as well as one bedroom and a bathroom, while it opens onto a covered terrace facing the shore directly, where an alfresco dining set is already in place. The kitchen is fully equipped; the living area is furnished throughout.A flight of stairs leads to the first floor, where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Both bedrooms offer sea views and have access to the balcony, also offering open and captivating views of the sea and sunset.Heating runs from a ground-floor fireplace connected to oil-filled radiators throughout the house. It handles the shoulder season well: northern Evia evenings cool quickly after sunset, and the fireplace creates a warmth that the house is built around. Summer cooling is provided by air conditioning units. Parking is available directly on the property.The basement adds 15 sqm of practical storage, useful for a house in regular use: beach equipment, seasonal items, and the accumulated necessities of a place that actually gets lived in.Location - distances Northern Evia has not been reshaped by tourism in the way that parts of the Aegean coast have. The villages here belong to permanent local communities; fishing boats still go out, and the tavernas that exist here serve the people who live here, not a passing seasonal trade. This gives the northern tip of the island a character that is increasingly rare in accessible parts of Greece.Cape Artemisio is immediately nearby. This is where the Artemision Bronze was recovered from the sea in 1928: the standing figure of Zeus or Poseidon in full extension, now considered among the finest surviving works of classical Greek art and displayed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The context adds depth to the location that most coastal properties in Greece cannot claim.Access from Athens runs via the Chalkida bridge and the length of the island, approximately three hours by car. A ferry crossing from Glyfa on the mainland to Agiokkampos on the northern coast offers an alternative for travellers approaching from central Greece.Beach: In front of the propertyPaleokastro: Walking distanceCape Artemisio: 8 kmLoutra Edipsou (Spa): 37 kmChalkida (Capital of Evia): 107 kmAthens International Airport: 203 km

Peratia is a small settlement on mainland Greece, directly opposite Lefkada island. The village is quiet, the orientation is west-facing, and from the veranda of this three-storey villa, the view stretches across the strait to the island's wooded ridge. In the evenings, the light over the water is what this property was built for.Set on a 1,176 sqm plot and completed in 2005, the property develops across three floors with 150.10 sqm of living space above a 112.25 sqm garage and storage level. The main living floor brings together the sitting room, dining area, and kitchen in a single connected volume, with a stone fireplace at its centre and double-glazed patio doors opening onto a generous veranda. One bedroom and a bathroom are on this level, while a wooden staircase leads to two further bedrooms and a second bathroom above.The technical specification is thorough: underfloor oil heating throughout all floors, air conditioning, double-glazed windows, and full insulation. The combination allows for genuine use beyond the summer season, including the shoulder months when the area is at its most relaxed. A building allowance of 137 sqm applies to the plot for buyers considering future expansion. The garage level, accessed both externally and via an internal staircase, provides 112.25 sq, of weatherproof vehicle and equipment storage, a detail that matters more the longer a property is used.The garden has matured beautifully over time, with established trees providing natural shade throughout the warmer months and carefully maintained planting requiring minimal upkeep. A stone-built pergola shelters a built-in barbecue and traditional wood-fired oven, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The newly constructed swimming pool is perfectly positioned within the landscaped grounds, enjoying open views toward the water, while an upper-floor balcony offers an additional vantage point from which to enjoy the evening light and surrounding scenery.Location - distancesFor everyday needs, the harbour town of Vonitsa is approximately 30 minutes away by road: supermarkets, a pharmacy, fish tavernas along the waterfront, and a small marina. Lefkada island is connected to the mainland year-round by road, via a causeway and swing bridge. No ferry is needed. Lefkada Town, with its full range of services and restaurants, is a 15-20 minute drive.Aktion/Preveza airport, which handles seasonal charter and low-cost connections from across Western Europe, is approximately 20 km from the property. Preveza, a pleasantly understated coastal city with a pedestrian waterfront, is 28 km to the north,

A stone house with roots that predate 1955, rebuilt and extended through 2025, set on the slopes of Mount Dikeos in the traditional village of Asfendiou on Kos. The original 55 sqm of stonework has been joined by a 41 sqm modern extension, resulting in a single-storey property of 96 sqm that retains its village character while meeting current standards of comfort and efficiency.The house offers a spacious living/dining area with a fireplace, unfolding over two levels and offering various seating arrangements for dining and entertainment. The separate kitchen is fully equipped, ready for use from the first day. A very large room is visually divided into two sleeping areas so the layout can flex for guests or shifting needs.

The property is rated Energy Class A, which translates to low running costs, and is fitted with gas central heating.The outside area of the house occupies 167 sqm and follows the village-house typology. It features a lawn area, but it is mostly paved and includes several spots for relaxation or al-fresco dining. Parking is available directly outside the property on the public road.The position of the property in the foothills of Mount Dikeos offers open views of the Aegean, with the sea framed by the surrounding olive groves, cypress, and pine that characterise the island's landscape.Location - distancesKos sits in the Dodecanese, well established among Western European holiday-home owners for the length of its warm season. The island runs an active holiday calendar from May through October, often stretching from late April into early November, giving owners six to seven usable months on the property each year. Kos International Airport offers direct seasonal flights to and from across Western Europe, including Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hanover, Munich, Manchester, Vienna, and Zurich, with the strongest links to the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. That combination of long season and direct accessibility is what keeps Kos consistently on the shortlist for international second-home buyers.Asfendiou sits in the interior of Kos, on the slopes of Mount Dikeos, around 14 km from Kos Town. It is a cluster of small hamlets, including Zia, Evangelistria, Asomatos, Lagoudi, and Haihoutes, with stone-built lanes, a working agricultural rhythm of olive cultivation and viticulture, and a small permanent population that keeps the villages alive outside the holiday months. For buyers wanting an authentic Greek village base rather than a coastal resort, with the beaches still a 10- to 15-minute drive away, Asfendiou is one of the more genuine choices on the island.Asfendiou: Walking distanceVangelis Beach: 9 kmRomantikos Beach: 11 kmKos (Capital): 18.5 kmKos International Airport: 19 km

The service is optional. Each owner decides how their home is used, whether as a private retreat, a rental, or both.Location - distances Paleros enjoys a well-connected location in Western Greece, just a 20-minute drive from Aktion/Preveza Airport, which offers seasonal and charter flights to numerous European cities.

There are homes that feel connected to their setting from the moment you arrive, and this 80 sqm house in the Old Village of Alonnisos is one of them. Set on a 275 sqm plot, framed by olive trees, fruit trees, stone terraces, and wide sea views, it offers the feeling of island living at its most natural: quiet mornings on the balcony, shaded afternoons in the garden, and evenings watching the light change over the Aegean.

The home is offered fully furnished and ready to use. Practical features include double-glazed windows, wooden shutters recently painted, air conditioning, electric hot water, an infrared heater in the bathroom, internet connection, and an 8 sqm storage room.Outdoor living is one of the strongest parts of the house. The garden and terraces are arranged on different levels, creating easy places to sit, relax, and enjoy summer under the shade of the trees. The wraparound balcony extends along approximately half of the house, with open views over the valley, surrounding hills, and passing ferries. The exterior also includes planted corners, sitting areas, an outside shower, and spaces for dining or relaxing throughout the day.The property is enclosed with walls and a gate, offering privacy while still maintaining a natural connection to the neighbouring homes and the rhythm of village life. There is parking in front of the house, water connection to the municipality, an 11 sqm cistern, and a septic tank, with sewer connection planned for the wider Old Village.Location Set on a hillside, the Old Village, or Palio Chorio, is the historic heart of Alonnisos, known for its traditional lanes, walks, tavernas, and small shops, all close by. The village has a distinct seasonal rhythm: calm and residential in winter, with a small year-round community, and livelier in summer, when its lanes, restaurants, and viewpoints become part of everyday island life.Nearby hills offer routes through greenery with beautiful viewpoints, where the sea opens up between the trees, while Megalos Mourtias beach is within easy reach for swimming and days by the water. Patitiri, the island’s port and main service hub, is conveniently accessible. Seasonal bus services connect the Old Village with Patitiri and the wider area.

There's room for an outdoor dining table, seating, and a generous lounging area. A built-in stone bench faces the sea, in keeping with the traditional character of the house and well-placed for long summer evenings. The elevated position keeps the views uninterrupted and the terrace private, set above one of the most characterful villages on Nisyros.Rental potentialNisyros has drawn growing interest in recent years from travellers looking for a quieter, more traditional Greek island, away from the busier Dodecanese destinations. The demand for modern, quality accommodation on the island is strong, also benefiting from its extended high-season.LocationNisyros is one of the smaller, less-developed islands in the Dodecanese, sitting between Kos and Tilos in the southern Aegean. The island is built on an active volcano, with the caldera and its craters forming the dramatic landscape at its centre and the main town of Mandraki running along the northern coast. Most of the year-round population lives in Mandraki or the port of Pali, while two traditional mountain villages, Nikia and Emporio, sit on the caldera rim. Emporio has kept much of its old character: stone houses built into the slope, narrow lanes, and direct views down into the volcano. The village emptied out in the second half of the twentieth century as residents moved closer to the coast, and many of its houses are now being slowly restored, often by buyers looking for a traditional stone property in a setting that's hard to find elsewhere in Greece.
