Odysseus

Groups of friends and families with a mixture of ages will love the layout of this modern villa, partly because the four bedrooms are placed for privacy, one on the ground floor, two on the first and, with the best of views from its balcony, a chic master bedroom, with en suite bathroom, right at the top of the house…but mostly because thoughtful planning extends to remarkable social space. Odysseus has two living rooms, each with air-conditioning, WiFi and smart TV, and both open-plan with a kitchen area and stylish seating. The ground floor room opens on to the poolside and has a games area, while the upper floor has a more grown-up feel and its own sunny balcony. 

Outside, an inviting heated pool is the obvious focal point, set in a lawned and decked surround and overlooked by a covered dining terrace and barbecue area. A series of steps lead down from here to Krouzeri beach and a handy taverna, and Kaminaki beach is within easy reach along the coastal path. Odysseus is terraced into the olive grove hillside, just above its twin sister-villa Penelope. The two are completely independent but could be booked together for large groups. A series of steps lead down to the long pebble beach, with a couple of tavernas an easy stroll away. There are tennis courts at nearby Nissaki Beach Hotel, and boat rental can be pre-booked to make the most of the coast.
