Vourvourou | €1.4 million ($1.47 million)

A detached house near the beach in Vourvourou’s gated ‘settlement of professors’

Built on a hillside in the seaside village of Vourvourou, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom house is in the Settlement of Professors, a gated community built as a cooperative for academics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in the 1960s. Now a development of about 150 homes, the area maintains its wide streets and treed landscapes. Professors still own most of its houses.

Vourvourou includes nine small islands, all within about 20 minutes by boat. Myrsini Beach on Diaporos, the largest island, is nicknamed “Hawaii” for its azure waters and white sands. Vourvourou has small shops and a few restaurants, including the diner-style Anchor Food Bar. For supermarkets, medical services and dining, most locals drive to Nikiti, an ancient settlement turned beach resort about 10 miles west. Mount Itamos, a popular trekking destination, is about 10 miles south. Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, is about 60 miles north.

Size: 1,991 square feet

Price per square foot: $738

Indoors: The two-story house was built in 1972 and bought by a German-Greek couple in 2017. Their renovations, completed in 2023, include tiled floors throughout the home, accents of rough Lakoma stone from Halkidiki, and a rich color palette on the walls.

Each level of the house is configured as an independent unit, with open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas. The kitchens feature Miele appliances. Because the house is built on a slope, there is an entrance at the front and an upper-level entrance at the back.

One of the two lower-level bedrooms, painted pink, includes a walkout to the grounds. There are two en suite bathrooms on this floor — one features green tiles, white fixtures and a bidet, along with a walkout to a small terrace. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is painted saffron, with blue fabric billowing across the ceiling. Both upper-level bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. Furniture is available by separate negotiation.

Outdoor space: The rolling half-acre plot includes pine, phoenix and olive trees. There are covered decks in the front and back of the house. The beach, on the Bay of Vourvourou, is about 200 feet from the home.
