This exquisite residence is located in the distinguished, member-owned country club – The Oaks Bayside Country Club. Features include high ceilings, custom fireplaces, a designer kitchen, and more. See page 42 for more details.
By Roger Grody
Unique natural environments, diversity of lifestyles, and proximity to large American markets contribute to an unrivaled luxury real estate market.
Sugar-white beaches, waters glistening in otherworldly aqua iridescence and hundreds of islands—each with their own culture and vibe—make the Caribbean a truly unique destination. Furthermore, easy access from North American cities makes it far more practical for vacation homebuyers than the Côte d’Azur, Maldives or Bora Bora, and there is no shortage of extraordinary amenities.
The Bahamas, Cayman Islands, and Aruba represent three alluring opportunities for luxury real estate investors, all offering the advantages of easy access from major markets, safety and security, and a variety of upmarket indulgences. For buyers seeking to incorporate a Caribbean lifestyle into their regular routine, these
destinations are among the most coveted in the region and each one benefits from the assistance of local Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network professionals. Just 100 miles from the American mainland, the Bahamas represent the closest slice of paradise to the U.S., allowing affluent East Coast residents an opportunity to spend weekends at their luxury vacation homes on one of the Bahamas’ 700 islands. In addition to stunning beaches, the country’s sophisticated hospitality infrastructure includes sailing, golf, shopping, and dining—even a robust arts scene. Jim Bernard, a Bahamas native and owner/broker of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Bahamas Real Estate, reiterates the draw: “We average
340 sunny days a year, have some of the best beaches in the world and are conveniently located to North America.”
Reporting there are direct flights to Nassau from up and down the East Coast, Bernard adds, “You’ll use your second home more if it’s easy to get to.” At least 75 percent of buyers are from the U.S. and Canada, but Bernard also reports strong interest from Europe. He cites the stable government, safety, and tax-friendly environment as major advantages, as well as an opportunity to buy and sell properties in U.S. dollars. The Bahamas also offers an attractive permanent residency program, requiring an investment of just US$750,000.
Bernard says luxury ocean-view condominiums are available for
approximately US$750,000, or US$1 million if directly on the beach. Prices for single-family residences start at about US$3 million, but homes with bona fide beachfront begin at US$10 million. According to the veteran broker, the pandemic triggered a market for primary residences, and now many of those transplants are trading up. Among the many homes currently offered by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Bahamas Real Estate is a 7,000-square-foot estate on Paradise Island for US$8.495 million, and a penthouse with marina and ocean views for US$6.6 million, both showcasing an extravagant Bahamian lifestyle.
Despite global economic headwinds, owner/broker Paula McCartney of recently opened Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
Cayman Islands sees no indications of the local luxury market softening, with high-net-worth individuals paying cash for multimillion-dollar properties. Her partner, owner/broker Anthony Lawson, adds, “Our market is very resilient and in past recessions, it has flattened, but never really dipped.” In addition to enjoying some of the world’s most pristine beaches, homeowners in the Caymans appreciate the renowned sailing, diving, world-class cuisine, and nightlife.
Dismissing the concept of competing with other Caribbean destinations, McCartney says, “There’s something unique and different about all of our islands.” She notes, however, that the exceptionally tax-friendly environment of the Cayman Islands, its security, and
presence of sophisticated financial services make it particularly inviting to affluent buyers. Emphasizing the destination’s convenience, McCartney quips, “I can fly to Miami in less time than it takes someone to drive from Fort Lauderdale to Miami in rush hour.”
“The capital appreciation here is phenomenal, averaging 10 percent per annum over the last 40 years,” says McCartney, noting that investors can own up to three income properties without obtaining a business license. “Luxury doesn’t mean the same thing to everybody,” she says, noting that some buyers appreciate the amenities of a Ritz-Carlton-branded condominium while others prefer a stand-alone residence. Lawson shares that while most available real estate is on Grand Cayman, some buyers crave the even more laid-back islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, which offer some of the best diving experiences in the world.
McCartney, a longtime resident, identifies 17,000-square-foot estate Casa Mare as a genuinely exceptional current listing. “It’s
very difficult to find a property with 200 feet of water frontage, incredible craftsmanship, and a design that represents the ultimate Cayman lifestyle,” she says of the home. Offered at US$15.95 million, the compound would be ideal for a family with live-in staff or a celebrity seeking absolute privacy. Speaking to the overall Cayman lifestyle, Lawson shares, “We offer a fantastic product, and now, with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, we have a fantastic brand to showcase it.”
In Aruba, an idyllic Caribbean destination just off the coast of Venezuela, sunworshipers share the strand with exotic birds at Flamingo Beach and enjoy some of the best diving, shopping, and nightlife in the Caribbean. Rudolph Kok, owner/broker of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
Aruba Realty, reports that because the island remains part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, foreign buyers enjoy an assurance of safety and stability. Additionally, in an era of increasingly devastating storms, prospective buyers are pleased to learn that Aruba lies outside the path of most hurricanes.
“Here you have a piece of the world where all nationalities feel at home and are happy together,” says Kok, an Aruba native of Dutch descent. “Because we all have some international background, this is a small island, but feels more cosmopolitan,” adds the 20-year real estate veteran whose office joined the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network in late 2022. “There’s no limitation to investment by foreigners in Aruba, and everyone’s welcome,” notes Kok, who advises that most buyers are from the U.S. and Canada, followed by the Netherlands and other European countries. The market also generates interest from South American buyers, indicates the Luxury Collection Specialist.
Kok explains that some buyers are people who have been visiting Aruba for many years, staying at hotels or timeshares, and have finally decided to purchase properties for future vacations or retirement. Noting that some buyers discovered Aruba when seeking a safe refuge from COVID-19, Kok says, “During the pandemic, there was an explosion in demand for residential properties.” He adds, “Now we’re seeing a more stable market, but still very high demand.” Kok reports Aruba has never experienced a recession and that current fears of slowing global growth are not affecting local demand.
In Aruba, a luxury ocean-view condominium or a single-family villa in a gated community with golf course can be purchased for as little as US$1 million. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Aruba Realty is currently offering a stunning 10,900-square-foot oceanfront estate, a property that reflects the ultimate in Caribbean luxury, for US$5.6 million.
Because we all have some internationalbackground, this is a small island, but feelsmorecosmopolitan.”

In a world of ever-changing trends, homeowners can bring a personal flair to their homes with custom designs through unique opportunities.
Custom embroidered wallcoverings, fabrics, tiles, stained glass windows, and more are possible with the help of experienced brands that bring a design vision to life with quality, care, and creativity.
“We like that our service is personal, as so much of interior design comes down to taste,” explains Max Findlay, chief executive officer of Peel & Paper. This custom wallpaper company allows its customers’ individual tastes to shine.
Christine Speare, a senior project manager at de Gournay, a hand-painted wallpaper and fabrics company with showrooms in Shanghai, Beirut, San Francisco, Paris, London, and New York, says, “As our collections and techniques have developed, we’ve noticed increased popularity, not just for the designs, but also specific custom interpretations,
as people seek to incorporate them into contemporary projects with ever more fantastical briefs.”
The concept of custom design is not new, and continues to be desired among luxury homeowners. But with advanced technology, it has become more accessible. The well-known company, Zazzle Inc., has 900,000 independent creators. Customers can choose from the millions of pre-created designs, and print them on a seemingly infinite number of products. However, there’s still a craving for quality to be part of the custom mix.
“Our hand-embroidery techniques on wallpaper and wall upholstery have really elevated in the past few years,” says Speare. de Gournay was inspired when Claud Cecil Gourney was looking for a hand-painted Chinese wallpaper to decorate his own home
Everysingleelementof eachdesignispaintedin themostwonderfuldetail byourhighlyskilledartists.” -ChristineSpeare
and discovered the original art of hand-painted Chinoiserie had almost ceased.” Similarly, The Hyland Studio, a studio in Santa Clara, California, is preserving the art of stained, leaded, and etched glass by offering traditional yet custom designs, as well as repairing antique glass and protecting it against further aging.
The customizable wallpaper brand, Peel & Paper, has products that are simple to apply and remove, but most importantly, they offer an opportunity to personalize a space. With instant color-changing technology, buyers can shift the shades and tones of any design, mix and match patterns, and bring a highly individual touch to each room. “Our customers get to be their own designers essentially,” says Findlay.
Additionally, Unique Tiles, a company in Somerset, England, offers everything from intricate, decorative ceramic tiles in your dining room and outdoor displays, to delicate floral backsplashes in the kitchen, spa, and everything in between. These hand-painted bone
china and ceramic tiles are another way homeowners are incorporating their taste into a room alongside quality materials that elevate the atmosphere. de Gournay meticulously interprets customer ideas and brings them to life on wallpaper, fabrics, porcelain, and hand-embroidered wall coverings. “We are always trying to expand the realm of possible designs that we can paint for our clients. And our designer clients often come up with ideas as well,” says Speare. The company’s elegant wallpaper collections range from the Chinoiserie Collection, which is based on Chinese wallpapers that became popular in luxury homes and palaces between 1750 and 1850, to eclectic, deco, scenic, and much more, according to Speare.
Each piece is a work of art dedicated to de Gournay’s unique style that has been melded with each client’s individual dream. “We will paint whatever our clients ask us to paint, and we have worked on murals from Jules Verne’s, ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ to historic views of
famous port cities,” adds Speare. The goal is always to create a cheerful, yet peaceful atmosphere that can be adored and enjoyed at the end of a hectic day with vibrant colors and balanced designs.
“Our newest Mughal Collection represents an entirely new aesthetic and design style,” says Speare. “We have the chance to be able to launch a collection of wallpapers based on this wonderful and diverse artistic heritage, which often defies categorization as it mixes up so many of the influences across Asia from 1200 to 1850.”

Still deciding on your next getaway? The picturesque city of Virginia Beach, Virginia, may offer everything you’re looking for in a destination and more. Susan Pender from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices RW Towne Realty shares her local perspective on the best places to stay, play, dine, and relax in this oceanfront paradise.
Virginia Beach has many popular accommodations, including The Historic Cavalier Hotel & Beach Club, which originally opened in 1927. In terms of newer lodgings, Pender recommends the brand new, luxurious Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel, which features both “smart rooms and stylish communal spaces” and is located right on the oceanfront. She also suggests the Bees Nees Pink House, which, as the name suggests, is an idyllic pink bungalow moments from the beach, “stylish and cozy, with a heated plunge pool.”
The restaurants in Virginia Beach all seem to take advantage of the natural beauty of the area. One of the newest and most exciting places, according to Pender, is The Porch on Long Creek, an American/
seafood establishment known as a prime spot for boat watching and taking in gorgeous sunsets. Pender also suggests another new destination not to miss is Oscar’s Oceanside, a fine dining location directly on the ocean.
The region offers no shortage of compelling destinations. Pender recommends visiting the Military Aviation Museum just south of the city or venturing off the coast to enjoy a dolphin-watching boat tour. One of the newest places recommended by Pender is the ViBe Creative District. This area is “known for its trendy restaurants, museums, and brightly colored murals by local artists.”
When not unwinding on the beach, if you’re trying to find a nice spot to relax while in town, Pender says one of the best places to look is First Landing State Park, which is “known for its nice walking trails amongst the trees and along the water.” She also suggests taking a walk to see the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, which is 9,200 acres of protected wildlife land filled with an abundance of plants and animals.

Twenty years ago, fashionable options for outdoor living were limited, with unimaginative aesthetics and synthetic finishes dominating even high-end furnishings. But with sophisticated outdoor spaces now de rigueur in luxury residences, exciting new design solutions have emerged.
The trend was already accelerating, but demand for designer-quality products for exterior living spaces skyrocketed during the pandemic. Homeowners developed a greater appreciation for the outdoor spaces available to them— not just in mild climates, but across the nation. Amenities like fireplaces and chandeliers are making their way outside, while entire furniture lines are being redesigned to accommodate indoor-outdoor lifestyles.
With showrooms across the country, JANUS et Cie is considered a premier manufacturer of resort-style outdoor furniture. The company’s hospitality clients—five-star properties like Raffles Singapore and Hotel du CapEden-Roc on the Côte d’Azur—further burnish the brand’s reputation. JANUS et Cie’s collections frequently involve collaborations with world-class designers, resulting in products such as the Strada high-back settee by Italian architect Paola Navone or the stylish Gina recamier by Piero Lissoni.
Carolina Zhang, JANUS et Cie’s vice president of product development, was particularly enthusiastic about a partnership with pioneering architect Philippe Starck. “This collaboration has been an extraordinary opportunity to
share in Starck’s vision of a distinctively nature-inspired collection forged in excellence to withstand the elements and be enjoyed for generations to come,” she said at the debut of the Serengeti collection.
Brown Jordan is another company offering an impressive spectrum of high-end outdoor furniture that includes its new Oliver collection from designer Ann Marie Vering, inspired by the bucket seats of a 1964 Fiat Jolly and by the carefree Mediterranean lifestyle the car evokes. “As people continue to use their outdoor spaces as an extension of their interiors, outdoor spaces have become more of a focal point and are given as much attention as their indoor counterparts,” maintains Gene Moriarty, the company’s president
A greater consciousness of exterior spaces is fueling product lines that bring a sense of indulgence outdoors.
and CEO. “Many Brown Jordan pieces are designed with both outdoor and indoor living in mind and can be used in both settings,” he adds.
Los Angeles-based Brook Perdigon
Textiles recently introduced Outbounds, a collection of performance fabrics resistant to children, pets, and natural elements. “The pandemic turned the outdoor spaces that we once used sparingly into all-the-time living spaces,” reports founder Brook Perdigon. “They became the additional room to escape to, and if you were brave enough to entertain, the outdoors became the place to do it,” she adds.
Noting her Outbounds collection is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, Perdigon suggests, “Each design provides a modern and durable backdrop
for relaxed living and casual entertaining.” With these fabrics, designers can adapt virtually any kind of furniture to the outdoors, no longer constrained by the product lines of outdoor furniture manufacturers.
Tuuci, a Miami-headquartered brand specializing in shade solutions, has brought newfound excitement to the humble umbrella. The company’s sculptural parasols, trellises, and cabanas can transform any backyard into a resort environment. Recently introduced at Salone del Mobile, Milan’s influential trade show, is the Ocean Master MEGA MAX Classic, which gracefully spans up to 24 feet while resisting wind gusts of 75 miles per hour.
“Tuuci’s passion is to create comfort and accessibility in the harshest
environments on earth,” explains Dougan Clarke, the company’s founder, CEO and chief product architect. “Focusing on engineering and robust design, while leaning into our marine roots, has allowed us to create architectural structures for the ultimate outdoor destination,” he says.
Sutherland Furniture, a brand that premier professionals turn to for sophisticated outdoor living spaces, recently released its Oceana line, designed by Bannenberg & Rowell, whose usual medium is superyachts. Simon Rowell, creative director of the UK-based yacht design firm, states, “Our first major production furniture range represents the same synthesis of movement, experience and pioneering spirit. And comfort.”

Founded in the 1500s, the city of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico has flourished as one of the most beautiful locations in the entire country. Gregory Gunter, owner/broker, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colonial Homes San Miguel, offers his selections for the best places to stay, play, dine, and relax in this shining gem amongst the Mexican highlands.
San Miguel de Allende has been growing steadily over the years to accommodate travelers, second-home owners, and retirees from all over the world. Gunter recommends several hotels, all of which are relatively new, including the luxurious Numu Boutique Hotel, from Hyatt’s Unbound Collection, which opened earlier this year in the heart of the city. Gunter also noted that a brand-new location for the famous Waldorf Astoria will be opening in the city in 2025.
Despite only having a population of about 150,000, Gunter notes that there are “over 550 restaurants on TripAdvisor” within San Miguel de Allende. One of the more popular dining destinations that has just recently opened is Bocaciega, a Mediterranean-themed spot with a chic aesthetic. Another recommendation from Gunter is Tené Kitchen & Bar, which offers comfort food in a relaxed atmosphere.
Gunter notes how there are “hundreds of options” when it comes to what to see and visit in San Miguel de Allende. One of the newest is the Casa de Cultura Banamex—a museum that hosts exquisite art and photography displays. Distrito SOMA, otherwise known as the Design District, is another great section combining art and food into a must-see spot for visitors and locals alike.
In terms of the newest, most relaxing spot in town, Gunter recommends the rooftop bar at Casa No Name. According to Gunter, it is the “most intimate outdoor lounge in town.” A more established location, the rooftop bar at El Golpe de Vista, is also highly rated among visitors for its ambiance and dining.

No product conveys the very essence of luxury like Champagne, and its farreaching cultural adoptions range from Formula One to the World Series—and from James Bond to P. Diddy.
Champagne is a timeless metaphor for luxury, and connoisseurs have always had a fascination with the most iconic labels, from elegant Dom Pérignon to hard-partying Cristal. Nothing speaks to the gravity of an occasion like Champagne, and an exploration of the world’s most coveted bottles can be a worthy lifelong pursuit.
Sophie Gayot leads a team of food, travel, and lifestyle writers at GAYOT.com, originally launched by her father, prominent French publisher André Gayot, and her brother Alain. Offering insights on the glamorous sparkling beverage, she says, “Champagne only comes from France, which is considered the most luxurious country, reflected in fashion, art, and cuisine.” The journalist, whose website features extensive wine content, adds, “Champagne has a connotation of festivity and its bubbles bring something different to the table.”
-SophieGayot
As a policy, Ms. Gayot generally does not divulge her favorite restaurants or brands, but her website cites specific vintages of Cuvée William from Deutz, Grand Cuvée from Krug, and Sir Winston Churchill from Pol Roger on a list of the finest prestige Champagnes. Gayot suggests that cost can sometimes be misleading, as consumers are willing to pay a premium for what they perceive as exclusivity or cachet. Personally, she enjoys Champagnes with smaller bubbles, and when pressed on what foods pair best with Champagne, Gayot concedes, “Almost everything goes with Champagne.”
For pure unadulterated extravagance, nothing rivals Goût de Diamants (“Taste of Diamonds”) from GDD Chapuy, a privately commissioned Champagne that commanded nearly $2 million. The spectacular packaging features a platinum bottle enclosure encrusted with a 19-carat diamond.
Founded in 1808, the esteemed Champagne producer Maison Henriot represents eight generations of family leadership. Henriot CEO Richard Moreau says, “For centuries, Champagne has been favored by royalty and celebrities, which has cemented the association with luxury and sophistication.” He notes that Henriot’s Champagnes were quickly embraced by aristocracy, with its vintages enjoyed by the royal courts of Holland, Austria and Hungary.
Marking the 200th vintage of the house since its founding is Henriot’s Cuvée Hemera 2008, a soon-to-be-released Champagne named after the Greek Goddess of Daylight. Noting the 2008 vintage is, fortuitously, an excellent one, Moreau says, “Hemera is regarded as an elegant, refined Champagne with complex flavors and a light, delicate body.” Even more rare is Maison Henriot’s Cuve 38, a special blend of the most prestigious Grand Cru Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs, of which only 1,000 magnums are produced each year. “This is a truly special wine and unique gift,” says Moreau.
As in most alcohol categories, the Champagne industry has witnessed an influx of celebrity-branded products, and arguably the most acclaimed celebrity
label is Armand de Brignac, a venture of billionaire musician Jay-Z, now halfowned by luxury conglomerate LVMH, whose impressive stable of Champagne brands also features Dom Pérignon, Moët & Chandon, Krug, and Veuve Clicquot. Armand de Brignac, easily recognizable by a distinctive pewter Ace of Spades insignia adhered to a mirror-glazed bottle, has a much longer history than most celebrity-branded alcohols. The house dates to 1763 (the Champagne is still created by a staff of artisans in Chigny-les-Roses, France) and regularly earns high scores from respected wine journalists. Retail prices of Armand de Brignac generally range from about $300 to more than $3,000, but the limited-edition Armand de Brignac Rosé Midas Champagne—presented in a 30-liter, glossy pink bottle—was priced at $275,000.
For the Champagne lover who has everything, any bottle of Champagne can be dramatically transformed with a fine art bottle cover by K-Over. Among the company’s products is a hand-painted, 24-karat gold-plated cover inspired by the “The Kiss” by painter Gustav Klimt, crafted by Florentine master goldsmith Stefano Vigni and priced at approximately $23,000.

California’s Lake Tahoe is an esteemed national treasure and spectacular destination adored for its breathtaking scenery, crystal clear and cool waters, and rich history. Surrounded by the majestic Sierra Mountain range, its four distinct seasons welcome athletes, adventurers, and casual travelers alike, offering something for everyone. Here, we explore recommendations from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network members specializing in various areas of Lake Tahoe, along with some of their favorite hidden gems.
“South Shore serves the largest resident population around the lake and has the largest variety of businesses,” says Deb Howard of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties. “It’s home to several resort casinos and the largest hotel and bed base in the Lake Tahoe Basin.”
Hiking opportunities are plentiful, and are a Tahoe staple. Howard suggests trails that scale the majestic Sierra Mountain scapes— what she calls “a mountain biker and hiker’s exploration nirvana.” Personally, she loves Fallen Leaf Lake and Tahoe Rim Trail.
A summertime must-do.”
- Deb HowardFoodies will surely be pleased by the variety of dining options. Howard suggests Freshies Ohana Restaurant and Bar; “The outside deck is a must-do for lunch and dinner. Stop for ice cream at the Rainbow Island Ice Cream Shoppe, which you pass on your way to Freshies.”
“The nightlife is robust with outdoor dining, taverns and lounges with a vibrant social
and music scene.” Howard endorses the American Century Golf Championship at Edgewood, Harvey’s outdoor music series, and the potholes: swimming holes carved out of the granite landscape at Silver Lake that she regards as a South Shore gem. Of course, she encourages folks to enjoy the lakes. “A day on the lake is the best day ever. A summertime must-do.”
Kimberly Boyle of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties offers Tahoe City expertise. “Tahoe City is all about outdoor recreation with the whole family. Boating, kayaking, beach days, hiking, biking, and al fresco dining are just some of the attractions you’ll find on any summer day.” She enjoys the weekly concert series at Common’s Beach. “I love bringing all the fixings for a picnic during the concert. A great event for families.”
Boyle recommends the Tahoe City Farmers Market on Commons Beach
and the the Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic, where guests can sample local restaurants. Sunset cruises on the Tahoe Gal, chartering a boat, wakesurfing, and appreciating the public beaches and trails are among her suggestions as well. “Blackwood Canyon is a hidden gem and wonderful if you’re looking to get away from the crowds.” For a bite, Boyle praises River Grill, popular amongst locals and visitors alike with a great happy hour and live music.
Lastly, Alison Elder of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties, Elder Group Tahoe Real Estate, provides insight on Truckee—recently named one of the best places to retire and in the top 10 small towns with millionaires by Kiplinger. With a unique history as an early California railroad town, it has since become a recognized vacation destination just minutes from Lake Tahoe.
“A variety of indoor/outdoor dining with fantastic organic food is available, and a wonderful Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays in the summer months,” she says. “The integrated bike paths are fabulous. Truckee Thursdays is a big hit. The Old Town area is closed off and there are so many vendors—jewelry, food, beverages, live entertainment—it’s very popular.”
Truckee offers a myriad of ways to get active in the summer. “Northstar has a great outdoor adventure course and an amazing downhill biking adventure for all levels. Palisades offers rock climbing, Granlibakken offers zip-lining. Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe offer boat and jet ski rentals.”
Elder personally loves a 20-mile ride along the Truckee River on the Legacy Trail, breakfast at Squeeze Inn, a private boat ride on Lake Tahoe, and enjoying the sunset from a private pier at Donner Lake.

What’s your pleasure? All-night parties? Ancient archaeology? Pink sand beaches and charming mountain villages? Views of clear blue water? Food, music and wine? Here we help you do your homework to determine which Greek islands might be the best for your next vacation.
If you are searching for a picture-perfect vacation with crashing waves and ancient ruins—or maybe a trip where you can live out Mamma Mia dreams by the water—then look no further than the gorgeous islands of Greece. They’ve got the perfect balance of rich history, relaxing beach lifestyles, and everything in between.
Kyriakos Xydis, managing partner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Athens Properties, gives a glimpse into life on these islands, and where to go based on the type of locale that suits you best.
MYKONOS
When you think of Greece, you might picture cerulean skies meeting white sand beaches, and rows of spiral staircases etched into spectacular landscapes. “Our unique islands and seaside locations have
wonderful beaches and cool blue waters that you can only find in Greece,” Xydis says of his home country.
If you’re looking to achieve this classic snapshot, similar to what is captured in Mamma Mia and other films, Mykonos may be for you. But as the day goes on in Mykonos, the party emerges.
Xydis says this island has the perfect “summer party” atmosphere. The most famed beaches here are Paradise and Super Paradise, where booming music can often be heard for miles. Famous DJs travel from across the globe to lead these all-night events, at massive beachfront clubs that often stay open way past dawn. But after the partying is over, Xydis notes that there are iconic landmarks to travel to as well—particularly a row of 16th century windmills, sitting atop a small Mykonos town.
Just as popular is the beautiful Santorini. “Santorini was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century B.C., forever shaping its rugged landscape,” Xydis notes. “The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its two principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west, and beaches made up of black, red, and white lava pebbles.”
Santorini’s distinct look and feel came to be because of this volcano, which is still active to this day. Perched high in the sky, Santorini is now known for this unique geology, which people come from all over to see. Sunsets with out-of-this-world views are a favorite of visitors here.
When searching for more wonders of the world, many travel sites recommend Crete and Corfu for even more history and beauty. Crete was a focal point in ancient Greek mythology and had a booming civilization—it is the largest Greek island, with many adjacent archipelagos of its own.
For the best experience, travel aficionados recommend staying on the main island of Crete, and not on one of its subsequent islands. Here, make sure you take some time enjoying Crete’s pink sand beaches, traveling through the plentiful mountain villages, or experiencing the joys of Cretan wineries.
century villas to stay in on Corfu, which allow you to take advantage of poolside lavishness, or explore the olive trees on the land.
In Corfu, make sure to travel to Old Town, where you can discover winding stone streets with Italian-inspired architecture and food.
When asked what the “hidden gem” of the Greek isles might be, Xydis did not hesitate to mention Euboea island. If you’re looking to travel off the beaten path in Greece, this is an example of a locale with far less crowds, but just as amazing of an experience.
“It is an extremely big island, with so many diverse destinations that cover the needs of the most demanding customers,” he says.
Corfu is another fantastic location for travel, and is a part of the Ionian Sea. It offers a more down-to-earth feel, with lush grass and rocky peaks all over the island. There are many historic, 18th
Euboea is the second-largest island geographically. Evia is the most common beachfront here, with all-access views to the clear blue water. It also has a rich history with ancient ruins of theaters, a once-famous trade center, and the thought-to-be location of Aristotle’s death.
Euboea is connected to the mainland with a bridge, just a few hours outside of Athens International Airport by car.

“On every Greek island, in every hidden corner of Greece, there are unique restaurants and bars for all tastes and all wallets,” Xydis notes. There’s everything from Michelin-star restaurants, to traditional taverns with centuries-old recipes and stories.
But above all, he encourages travelers to interact with residents in order to find the best fare: “Greeks are very friendly. What I strongly recommend is, in each destination, ask two to three Greeks (the one who owns a small mini market, the waiter in a cafe, et cetera) to recommend a place with good food, nice music, and drinks. This is how you will discover the real secrets of our country, islands, and destinations.”
For Mykonos or Santorini, it’s best to book as soon as possible. Travel authorities report 220,000 visitors in a single week in 2022, and some hotels in Mykonos reaching up to 90-percent occupancy.
For the other islands, and as a general rule, travel agents recommend booking a Greek vacation as early as six or seven months before your intended departure date.
“Every Greek tourist destination, every Greek island, even the smallest, has at least 10 beaches with amazing clear blue waters—visit as many places as you can,” says Xydis, who has helped many travelers secure the ultimate Greek villa of their dreams. Arrving
