The Thinking Traveller

Cosmopolitan villas

For some, it’s part of a long heritage – Taormina, for example, has been frequented by acclaimed writers, artists and musicians since the early 20th century. Others, such as Hydra and Porto Heli, gained a discreet global following after the 2nd World War. More recently, the Greek islands of Mykonos, Syros, Paros and Antiparos, the Val di Noto in Sicily, and Salento in Puglia have all become desirable destinations for discerning international travellers.
