Stone mansion overlooking the Aegean Sea on the island of Tinos.1.8 MILLION DOLLARS (1.6 MILLION EUR)
This five-bedroom villa is located on a hillside in Ktikados, a village near the southern coast of the Greek island of Tinos, in the Aegean Sea. Built in 2006 of local stone, the property has a two-bedroom main house, as well as two smaller guest houses separated by a garden of olive and fruit trees, on just under half an acre.
Tinos, at about 75 square miles, is larger but much quieter than neighboring Mykonos, a popular tourist destination known for its partying, said George Kasimis, head of sales for the Aegean branch of Sotheby's International Realty, the Greek real estate agency that represents the property.
"Tinos is one of my favorite islands," he says. - "The whole country is evolving around culture and religion. "
The main house - one of three buildings on the site - surrounds a pool and grotto with a stone arcaded passage and dining table.
The majority of homes on the island are Greek-owned, and their architecture reflects a long tradition of stone craftsmanship, he says. The main entrance to this home opens to a spacious foyer with two-story ceilings. The archway to the right frames the dining area, which has a seating area with a sofa at one end.
