The luxury, eco-friendly villa offers not only some of the most spectacular views you will see in all of Greece, but also a uniquely stunning architecture and interior design full of little surprises. The StarGazer was especially designed to harness the power of the sun for heating and makes use of its own rain collecting cistern to preserve water. The sunlit atrium is the heart of the villa. The streaming sunlight from above glints off of the elegant copper sculpture of Pegasus, the symbol of the villa. In every room of the villa, everywhere you turn, you see the astounding view of the Aegean and the mountains as you are surrounded by large windows and welcoming balconies. Elegant terra cotta columns frame the large open spaces and the cool marble floors are soothing to the feet. Step outside and walk amongst the pomegranate and olive trees as you grill at our fully furnished outdoor BBQ area. Relax in our outdoor hot tub set among the fragrant lavender and sage (May-September).

Car hire is essential. The nearest airport is 50 mintues away (national). The port of Rafina from where you can take the ferry to Myconos, Andros, Tinos is 30 mintues away. Down town Athens is 50-60 minutes by bus or metro combination.
Distances

Further details
Schinias is within the township of Marathon. Marathon is located on the fringe of the Athens urban sprawl but it still retains its rural character. Many of its inhabitants commute daily to their jobs in Athens using either their private automobiles or the local bus service. Day trips into Athens are easily done by private car or by using the local bus. Access to the national highway and day trips to other sites of antiquity are fast and easy.
Our house is located within the planned community of 'Dikastes kai Eisangeleis' on Schinias on the top of the hill by the sea. Most of the land within the Community Dikaston Eisaggeleon Schinias is set aside as 'green' areas with only about 30% used for building lots. The Community Dikaston Eisaggeleon Schinias is gated with a guard and is very secure. The homes in Schinias range from small summer cottages to large villas.
All of the geographic area of Schinias is a National Environmental Park as well as a European Union Environmental Preserve. Only one road enters the park and it has no exit. The only road into our community branches off the park's road and also has no exit. All of this means that we have very little automobile traffic. This makes our community very private, very quite, and very safe. The lack of traffic makes our roads ideal for walking and jogging. We have a road and walking path that parallels the coast line just a few meters above the sea that is great walks in the cool of the afternoon and early evening. (Due to Greece's location relative to time zones, we have daylight almost until 10 pm during the first part of June.) If you are into hiking, one interesting day hike is to walk across country to the ferry port of St. Marina, take the ferry to the island of Evia, hike on the island then return to Sxinias.
There are several small tavernas in the area, with low key charming suroundings and good Greek food. Within a 20 minute drive, you can be on the boardwalk of Nea Makri with many restaurants.
