Luxury living fit for the gods

By David Berry

In the last few years, Greece has been a travel hotspot. A fashionable country renowned for its beauty and history that is fast becoming one of the most desirable places to both visit and to reside, Greece boasts some of the most exclusive property on the market. Kilada Hills is among the hottest properties with houses designed, built and fitted to stun with their cool lines, open spaces and spectacular views.

Set in the sweeping golden and green hills of the eastern Peleponnese, just over two hours drive from Athens, Kilada Hills is the work of the renowned Greek architect Mark Potiriadis.

Each house has around 4,000 square feet of living space, and can be personalized to suit your every whim and fancy. Bespoke design gives people the freedom to plan the layout just as they desire. "It expresses our traditions, but is set firmly in modern times," says Potiriadis.

The houses are set amongst elaborately landscaped gardens on a gently sloping hillside, with stunning views encompassing dense pine forests, shimmering crystal clear blue seas, undulating mountains and romantic islands. The numerous terraces and the swimming pool that come with each house provide the very best viewpoints imaginable. Champagne may never taste better than when sipped in the early evening from the edge of an infinity pool in Kilada Hills, with the fragrances of wild herbs and spices drifting soothingly through the air. Whilst surveying the surroundings, one can only be impressed with the subtlety and elegance employed by the designers.

But Kilada Hills is much more than a holiday home - residents will receive special privileges and access to the new 18-hole golf course. Combined with a tennis academy and a spa, a healthy lifestyle can be led in the most tranquil of ways. Of course, all of that relaxation needs to be tempered by excitement - and what better way to enjoy the nightlife on the nearby island of Spetses than by arriving by water taxi. Transport to and from Kilada Hills is another of its selling points. An alternative to the spectacular two hour drive to Athens is the high speed boat service which links the two, and for those in more of a rush, a private heli-pad provides access to the ultimate of all transport - although leaving is probably going to be the last thing on anyone’s mind when staying in Kilada Hills.

Within easy reach, the villages and towns nearby offer high quality locally produced food and wine, and in the town of Epidauros, the ancient amphitheater hosts world famous singers and orchestras in a landscape dripping with archaeological treasures.

Kilada Hills is an exclusive development that marries tradition with contemporary style. Intimacy in luxury. To live there, the only prerequisite is a highly refined appreciation of style and elegance, and the ability to unwind whilst feeling like the most privileged person in the world.
