About this property

If you've ever dreamed about visiting the lost island of Atlantis, Villa Artemis may well be a dream come true for you.  

Villa Artemis is located in the midst of the traditional community of Megalochori, a place proud to maintain its traditions without being overly influenced by the faster pace of modern life. Upon arriving in Megalochori, you'll find narrow streets, marble churches with traditional architectural bells and endless vineyards to take you to another period and time.

Villa Artemis sits firmly in the region's traditional 1900s feel despite its renovation in 2013 by architects MPLUSM and civil engineer Tziotis Georgios. It subtly utilises traditional Thira architecture to a minimal, refining what is already there while added smartness, chic design and a luxurious style.

Villa Artemis' hospitality combines the unique beauty of the island with the unforgettable experience of a stay in a truly beautiful luxury holiday home.

Megalochori is a truly picturesque village, thanks in part to the way it had managed to maintain its traditional architecture. Opinions differ on the origin of the name - some say that it came from the agricultural fields that the villagers kept, others argue that the name reflects the personality of the place. Even though most of the houses have been renovated, Megalochori has managed to retain many of its traditional values - including many picturesque local churches and the many vineyards that produce fine local wines. The nearby beaches are superb, and whatever you do, make sure to try some of the traditionally produced sun-dried tomatoes.

Megalochori is located very centrally on the Methana Peninsula in Greece, which makes any part of the island easily accessible.
