The 250 sqm property has been developed on a 4191 sqm amphitheatric plot above Sivota Bay, with Akroudi Island in the background. The core design principle was to create a villa with panoramic views from all of its living spaces, where skylights and pergolas facilitate an interplay of light and shade.

Using traditional and modern building materials, such as stone and wood, the villa comprises three architectural volumes, and due to the inclination of the plot, they are partly cave buildings and partly exposed.

The entrance path from the villa's exterior parking spaces (for four vehicles) leads to a shaded path running along the cave building, which houses five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, the gym, a sauna (with its own bathroom/shower), and a home cinema. The path then leads to the main house, where the living and dining areas are located, together with the kitchen and the master bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, as well as a guest WC and large storage room.

There are also four shaded areas, a shaded guest area, an outdoor shaded lounge, a shaded outdoor kitchen and dining area, as well as the master bedroom shaded area in front of the master bedroom, which has access to the outdoor jacuzzi, which is adjacent to the pool.

A further sun-bed deck is in front of the shaded lounge space, offering breathtaking views while busking in the Mediterranean sun. The landscaped gardens of the villa feature an assortment of local flora. The guiding principle for the design was to create a luxury vacation home through sustainable and environmentally friendly choices.

The building construction has exterior thermal insulation and high energy efficiency double glazed aluminium windows to achieve the best thermal behaviour with its basic components. For heating and cooling the villa uses the most up to date low consumption air to air heat pumps which power the hidden fan coil system and additionally the underfloor system of the main house, while hot water is produced by solar boilers.

Many overseas buyers in Greece do not realise they can lose thousands of pounds through adverse currency exchange rate movements.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Greece will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £60,723 more.
