Coastal Attica Villa With a Car

Attica is the peninsula around Athens, and it is far more varied than its capital suggests. To the south the coast runs past coves and pine-covered headlands to Cape Sounion and its Temple of Poseidon; inland lie olive groves, vineyards of Mesogeia and low hills of thyme and stone. The independent villas here are spread across this region – some near the coast, others inland – and having a car turns them into a base from which beaches, villages and the city are all within a day's choice.

A house of your own

A villa changes the pace of a Greek trip: breakfast on your own schedule, a meal you cook yourselves, an evening that stretches out slowly. Each villa's exact setting is its own.

Athens within reach

The Acropolis, the market at Monastiraki and the tavernas of Plaka are close enough for a day in the city before returning to the house for the evening.
