For beach-side bliss, ten-bedroomed Villa Metaxa on Diaporos Island, Greece, is your go to. The luxurious Halkidiki villa is a stone’s throw from the glistening Mediterranean sea and is between two private natural coves for true tranquillity. Simply stroll across your swimming pool terrace and landscaped grounds and you’ll be on the sandy shore. Palm trees add a tropical vibe, while clean lines, open-plan spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows, let those beautiful natural views do the talking.
The villa boasts a modern geometrical form and contemporary cool décor, while classic Greek touches come in the form of whitewashed walls and charming wooden furniture. Perfect for families, groups of friends or even wedding guests, Villa Metaxa, can comfortably sleep up to twenty guests across its ten spacious bedrooms, and there’s plenty of places for everyone to sit and relax in the sun or the shade. When you’re not cooling off in the private infinity pool, laze on one of the cushioned loungers or spread out on the lush green grass. Or, head to the beach. The choice is yours.
With an external professional kitchen similar to those found in restaurants, including an Espresso coffee machine and wine cooler, as well as dining room, outdoor alfresco table, barbeque and fully-equipped bar area, meal times and evenings in are a treat at this villa. There’s also a comfortable living room for unwinding in after an action-packed day of exploring and gym equipment so you can keep up with your fitness. Bedrooms are all equally ‘luxe’ with king or queen-size beds and superior quality linen and bathrooms with multi-jet showers. Handy extra features like soft towels, dressing gowns and slippers ensure a spa-like feel.
Diaporos Island itself is renowned for its beautiful natural scenery and water activities. It’s dotted with smaller islands and bays just waiting to be explored, and because of its sheltered, calm and crystal-clear waters is the perfect place to go swimming and snorkelling. For exploring more of this excellent part of Greece, the island is a short boat ride from mainland Halkidiki.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MetaxaVilla Metaxa boasts an unrivalled location on the unspoilt island of Diaporos, northern Greece. It’s on a private bay and is surrounded by a natural forest. With only a couple of holiday properties on the island, it remains one of Halkidiki’s unexploited areas, which explains how its retained its pure natural beauty. For picking up fresh local produce or holiday essentials, Diaporos is right across the Greek mainland from Vourvourou village on the Sithonia peninsula. There you’ll find a couple of local shops and restaurants, as well as pine forests to explore and sandy beaches.
Diaporos Island is located 5 min by boat from Vourvourou and 10 min from the village Ormos Panagias which have some of Halkidiki's best fish restaurants.
It’s a really intimate & private place surrounded by stunning beaches and crystal clear water. There is a complimentary transfer via the resort's pontoon boat to Vourvourou where there is secure parking. Each villa has a pontoon boat 5m which can be driven without license.
It’s a really calm and peaceful place & on the meantime it’s just 5 min by boat to go to all the restaurants/shops/bars.
From Diaporos, there many reefs where you can snorkel. Diaporos also belongs to a complex of islets including Kalogria, Ambelitsi, Kalamonisia, Prassonisi, Peristera and Agios Isodoros. You can reach them by renting a private boat or paddle on a kayak or canoe to the secluded coves.
The Blue Lagoon is also an extraordinary marvel in Halkidiki. It's a small strait between Diaporos Island and another small island and has a shallow bay with a white sandy bottom. This combination of sand and the shallow depth allows for a glacier blue colour to the water. From above it appears as if somebody turned on the underwater lights to illuminate the lagoon like a brilliant gem – it’s stunning! For lazy afternoons on the beach, Vourvourou also has an excellent option, or you could head to Karidi on the south end. It’s known as one of Halkidiki’s most photogenic beaches with powder-soft sand. For culture lovers, the region's notable archaeological sites include Aristotle’s birthplace and Olynthus, known for its well-preserved mosaic floors. They're both must-sees!
