Moments from the shoreline, Villa Tethys is a serene retreat where sea breezes and the scent of saltwater drift through every room. Set right on the edge of Gennadi Beach, this bright, beautifully maintained villa offers front-row views of the Aegean and effortless indoor-outdoor living. The expansive pool terrace is the heart of the home, with loungers facing the glittering water and shaded spots ideal for long, lazy lunches.

Fully renovated in 2013, the interiors balance cool tiled floors with warm wooden beams and relaxed Mediterranean touches. With four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a large open-plan living area, there’s space for families or groups to stretch out in comfort. A fully equipped kitchen, barbecue, and traditional wood oven make self-catering a pleasure, while the upper terrace promises unforgettable sunsets with a glass of wine in hand.

Just steps from the beach and within easy reach of Lindos, Prasonisi and a scattering of charming southern villages, Villa Tethys is perfectly placed for guests looking to combine privacy with exploration. Whether you’re seeking water sports, peaceful days by the pool, or dinners under the stars, this seafront sanctuary makes it all effortlessly accessible.

• The beach is pebbled rather than sandy, so swim shoes may be helpful for little ones.
• Car hire is recommended to explore nearby villages, beaches and historical sites.
• While peaceful and private, the villa shares its location with other homes along the beach road.
