Islands, light and the Aegean
Villas in Greece
Greece has thousands of islands, and each has its own character. The Cyclades are white, bright and windswept. The Ionian islands are green and calm. Crete is almost a country of its own.
Villas are one of the best ways to experience them, with your own pool, a view of the sea and the freedom to find your own beaches.
