Far, far from the crazy tourist scene is the fishing port village Porto Heli — it’s the ‘under the radar’ locale where cool Greek millionaires head to chill out. This Unique Estate limiting has a pool with a blindingly beautiful outlook, accessed from shady and textured interiors. It’s a mere three hour drive from Athens, but that can be circumvented by taking a helicopter and reaching it in 30 minutes. If you lived here, you wouldn’t waste a second.
