Greece is a gem of the Mediterranean Sea with an incredible appeal to tourists. The country is known throughout the world for its excellent weather, cuisine, beaches and history. If a holiday in the sun comes to mind then it probably will look similar to the beauty that surrounds Greece.
There are a number of ways to spend a summer holiday in Greece but one of the more popular is staying in a luxury villa; one that may overlook the sea or one that is nestled in the centre of an intimate town.
One important reason to stay in a holiday villa is that you can escape the fast paced tourist areas for the majority of your stay. You can arise at the hour you want and have a delicious breakfast on the patio. During the day after a long stroll through town you can return for a dip in your private pool and then enjoy the setting sun that represents the end of another glorious day of your Greek holiday.
There are a number of Greek villas that are available to rent and some of them are not as expensive as the luxury villas so they are more appropriate for the entire family and because they are spacious the kids will have ample room to play. The villa ends up being a home from home and you will not be stuck on the schedules of the hotel restaurants or their menu, you can prepare food for they family that they are accustomed to.
Lagonisi is one place that is ideal for a holiday. South of Athens the town is located equally between the sea and a number of different attractions. The beach is very nice and there are plenty of picturesque vistas to enjoy either from your villa or different areas of the town. There are ample activities to enjoy from scuba diving to helicopter tours to golf. They are all available and easily accessible from your holiday villa.
A short distance away is the Greek Temple of Poseidon along the coast in Cape Sounion. And Athens is very close and a great place to spend a day in the city and visit the Acropolis or the 2000 year old Parthenon. So what more do you need on your holiday than beautiful sun splashed beaches, centuries of history, peace and tranquillity and all just steps from your luxury Greek villa.
