buy a property in any of these islands and they are all promising of something unique to offer.
picturesque and welcoming villages, some surrounded by forests and olive groves and others by exclusive beaches. hot springs, rich history with archaeological sites, natural monuments, delicious food and particularly fresh seafood are waiting to offer you authentic experiences. just to mention a few: chios is notable for its production of mastic gum and exports. ikaria derives its name from icarus, the son of daedalus in greek mythology. it was believed that he fell somewhere nearby in his attempts to fly close to the sun with wax wings. today, ikaria is considered one of the world′s five “blue zones” where the population regularly lives to an advanced age of over 90s, owing this to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
samos is the home of ancient philosopher and mathematician pythagoras. muscat grape is the main crop used for wine production and wine from samos is still exported to many countries. oinousses are the origin place of some of the most successful ship-owning families known worldwide. it has a small port that hosts a big number of yachts in the summer months, narrow paved streets and traditional luxurious houses.
hidden within an olive grove on the coastline of lesvos, pelagos faces a sheltered bay where the sea remains calm and protected throughout most of the year. the house sits only a short distance from the shoreline itself, connected to the water by a private pathway and small dock, while the surrounding landscape remains largely untouched — olive trees, low hills and quiet coves extending in every direction. despite the seclusion, mytilene airport can be reached within approximately 25 minutes by car.
the architecture is contemporary and deliberately restrained, allowing the setting to remain dominant. arranged across two principal levels with extensive lower-ground accommodation, the residence extends to approximately 530 sqm, with floor-to-ceiling glazing opening the interiors directly towards the bay. the house is positioned to capture uninterrupted water views from nearly every room, while the orientation allows natural light to move gradually through the interiors from early morning until sunset.
the principal living spaces are open and minimal in character, combining polished stone flooring, pale surfaces and warm timber elements with large uninterrupted expanses of glass. the kitchen, dining and sitting areas flow together across the seaward façade, opening directly onto more than 500 sqm of terraces overlooking the water. throughout the day, reflections from the bay move across the interior ceilings and floors, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun lowers across the opposite hillside.
five bedrooms and six bathrooms are distributed across the residence, each continuing the same restrained material palette and relationship to the landscape. several bedrooms frame uninterrupted views across the bay from the bed itself, while others open onto quieter terraces or garden areas shaded by olive trees. the bathrooms are simple and contemporary, finished in stone and glass with natural light carefully integrated throughout.
the outdoor areas form the centre of the property during the summer months. a long infinity-edge swimming pool extends directly towards the bay, visually merging with the water below, while a raised jacuzzi sits slightly above it within the terraced garden. the terraces surrounding the house remain wide and uncluttered, creating multiple places for dining, reading or sitting quietly throughout the day. along the waterfront, a private dock allows direct access to the sea and provides secure anchorage within the bay itself, protected from prevailing winds and suitable for larger vessels.
the wider grounds extend across more than 4,000 sqm and retain much of the character of the original olive grove. mature trees provide natural shade around the property, while stone retaining walls and planted terraces integrate the architecture carefully into the terrain. in the evening, the surface of the bay becomes almost still, reflecting the final light across the water while the house begin s to glow softly behind the glass façade. a fishing boat crossing the entrance to the bay at dusk is often the only movement visible from the terrace.
pelagos combines contemporary waterfront architecture with one of the quieter and less developed coastal settings in the aegean, creating a property defined as much by its landscape and privacy as by the house itself.
