Take Me To Greece

Dear Future Homeowner,

This sophisticated 6 bedroom villa located in the exclusive area of Tourlos should not be overlooked. You could proudly call your home paradise. Styled with thick wood-beam ceilings, built-in sitting areas and large window frames. Panoramic views from the terrace looking out over the town and the Aegean Sea. I've been lucky enough to have traveled around the Greek Isles. I can firmly say Greece is exactly like what you see in books, calendars, movies, etc. The crystal blue water as the backdrop with white homes along the cliffside, it's breathtaking. Oh how I love Greece and all it has to offer. For more information on this home go to Christie's International Real Estate Signature Program. 

Yours truly, 

A Grecian Lover
