It looks on the seashore of a large bay in a peaceful location offering exceptional privacy within a preserved archipelago of islets.The property is part of a privileged historical grand estate of 900 acres planted with tall cypress, centennial olive and pine groves, pistachio and fig trees set within a mature Mediterranean vegetation and dry stonewalls.

The journey from Athens International Airport door to door to the island is approximately 2 hours.

From there a boat takes you to the island, for large groups this may need to be done in stages.

Alternatively, you can drive from Athens to Marmari, around 3 hours drive. From there, a boat will pick you up and take you to the island. For large groups, the transfers will be done in stages.
