Houzz Escape: Bask in a Mini Greek Getaway
Treat Yourself to a Midwinter Wallow in Beautiful Photos of Greek Homes and Gardens
Now that the holidays are over, the rest of winter's cold gray days loom ahead to slog through with nary a break in sight. It's enough to make anyone yearn for a little escape. I've got no travel plans on the near horizon, so I'll be taking a few virtual getaways instead of the real deal. Care to join me? Today I'm looking at Greece, as imagined through photos on Houzz:
Our Greek adventure will take place at this private seaside estate on the island of Paros.
A dramatic bougainvillea frames the entrance from the street.
I imagine the inside looks something like this, with nothing but simple white to further relax the mind.
We'll rest our jet-lagged selves outside on the patio and enjoy a light lunch under the dappled shade of the pergola.
But the gorgeous landscape will beckon from around every corner...
So we'll set out to explore the expertly-manicured grounds, with the occasional mist of sea spray reaching us from the ocean below.
The scent of lavender hits us with each passing breeze.
In the evening we'll make our way up to the villa's rooftop deck...
...where we can relax with a bottle of ouzo and an endless blue sky overhead.
