set above the coastline near sivota, lithea is arranged as a collection of interconnected volumes that follow the natural contours of the landscape while maintaining uninterrupted views across the ionian sea. the architecture combines clean contemporary forms with natural materials, allowing the residence to sit comfortably within its surroundings rather than apart from them. white-rendered surfaces, local stone and timber detailing create a restrained palette that responds naturally to the character of the coastline and the olive-covered hillsides beyond.
the property has been planned to balance openness and privacy, with the principal residence and guest accommodation positioned to create distinct areas across the estate while remaining visually connected through the landscape. from almost every part of the property, the sea remains a constant presence, framed by the surrounding terrain and the changing light across the bay.
arrival takes place through a landscaped approach that introduces the material language of the house. inside, the main living spaces unfold as a series of bright, interconnected rooms with high ceilings, generous proportions and wide openings facing the sea. the architecture places emphasis on light, volume and continuity, allowing the interior spaces to flow naturally towards the terraces beyond. throughout the day, sunlight moves across the interiors, highlighting the textures of timber, stone and plaster while reinforcing the calm atmosphere of the house.
the kitchen forms part of the principal living environment, integrated into the overall composition rather than separated from it. living and dining areas extend directly towards the exterior through large sliding openings, creating a seamless relationship between the interior and the surrounding terraces. during the warmer months, the boundaries between inside and outside become almost imperceptible, with natural airflow and sea breezes moving freely through the house.
five bedrooms and five bathrooms are distributed between the main residence and the independent guest accommodation. the private areas continue the same architectural approach found throughout the property, favouring simplicity, natural materials and carefully framed views. several bedrooms connect directly to terraces or private outdoor areas, creating a sense of independence while maintaining a close relationship with the wider landscape.
the exterior spaces are arranged across a series of terraces that follow the natural topography of the site. two swimming pools create separate zones within the property, one positioned to engage directly with the sea views and a second providing a more secluded setting within the gardens. the outdoor living areas are connected through stone pathways, planted terraces and shaded spaces that encourage movement through the landscape rather than concentrating activity in a single location.
the grounds have been designed to complement the existing character of the site, using native planting, olive trees and natural stone retaining walls to integrate the architecture into the hillside. the result is a property that feels established within its environment, with the landscape and architecture working together as a single composition.
within walking distance of sivota village and the beach, lithea combines contemporary comfort with a strong connection to the ionian coastline. as evening settles across the bay, the changing colours of the sea and the quiet rhythm of the surrounding landscape become an integral part of daily life.
