The house of terrace delights
Located in a slightly elevated position just outside the upmarket town of Porto Heli, Villa Marlina blends sophistication, vivacity and charm in equal measure. Generous, beautifully finished interiors spill out onto well-designed terraces at every opportunity, views pan out across the Aegean Sea to the beckoning island of Spetses, and flowering gardens wrap the property in a veil of multi-sensory delights. Then, just a few minutes' walk away, is an idyllic little beach.

Villa Marlina is located just an easy stroll from a sandy beach in the exclusive area of Kosta, south of the upmarket resort of Porto Heli, whose promenade of seafront bars and restaurants and shops is a 10-minute drive away.
For many years, the town and its surrounding area (the tip of the easternmost peninsula of the Peloponnese) has been second home to the Athenian aristocracy and Greek shipping magnates, who built sumptuous summer estates there. Today, it attracts the international jet set, from royalty to business tycoons, who come for the sophisticated atmosphere and the sense of hush-hush privacy.
Also known as the Greek Riviera, the peninsula of Porto Heli is lined with gorgeous beaches and lapped by sparkling blue seas. It's a great place for water sports, yachting and island-hopping - the cosmopolitan islands of Spetses and Hydra within easy day-trip distance (hydrofoil crossings to Spetses from the nearby port of Kosta - a 5-minute drive from Marianthi - take just 10 minutes).
In terms of beaches there's a lovely sandy-pebbly cove within easy walking distance (7mins) and plenty of other options nearby, including Kostoula (1.2km), Kosta (2.6km), Kovas (4.8km) and Kounoupiou (3.9km).
For history lovers, one must-see is the archaeological site of Epidaurus (about a 1-hour drive away). Its stunning theatre is famed not only for its size and its sensational views, but also for its crystal clear acoustics, and there is much more to see besides.
