Greet the sunrise over the Aegean Sea from this contemporary villa in Marathon. Situated on a 1,000-square-meter estate near the easternmost edge of the Attic Peninsula, the home is just minutes from several beaches and about 40 kilometers from Athens. Expansive living spaces form an ideal haven for families and large groups of friends, enhanced by an extraordinary collection of original artwork.

The villa’s luminous white minimalism alludes to ancient Aegean architecture, accentuating the rich blues of the sky and sea. Dip into the swimming pool and bathe in the sunlight. Grill up fresh seafood and vegetables for a meze platter, and uncork a bottle of local wine in the lounge. Gather for casual afternoon meals at the poolside tables, or a family feast under the veranda. At night, turn on the outdoor lighting to continue the revelry under the stars.

Inside, a capacious living room features high ceilings and tufted leather sofas facing a fireplace. The formal dining table is perched on a platform overlooking the living room, flowing gracefully into the chef-grade kitchen. Pluck a volume from the library for a meditative afternoon; retreat into the office suite for an important project; or summon the spirits of the ancient astronomers with the telescope at night.

Four bedroom suites with ensuite bathrooms can accommodate families, destination wedding guests, and groups of friends up to 8 in size. The deluxe master suite includes a private lounge with fireplace, while the 3 guestrooms enjoy access to balconies with inspiring views.

This tranquil location offers easy access to the peninsula’s rustic beauty, seaside delights, and historical treasures. Beach-lovers will want to visit Schinias, Sessi, and Varnavas, while history buffs will appreciate the Marathon Tomb and the Maraton Archeological Museums. Take the family to the Attica Zoological Park, or drive into Athens for a trip to the Acropolis and dinner in the charming Plaka neighborhood.
