Villa Glaucus

An endless view of the surrounding garden planted with herbs, flowers and trees, the olive groves and crops on the slope, with the Mediterranean Sea in the background; The Glaucus is reborn once again!

Glaucus (/ˈɡlɔːkəs/) was one of the four sons of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae of Crete. He is known as a Greek prophetic sea God, protecting fishermen in storms; he was born mortal and turned immortal upon eating a magical herb. Also, Ancient Greek didn’t distinguish between green and blue; they called them both “glaucous” to describe the colour of the sea and herbs due to his myth. Therefore, just like the referred God, Villa’s view reflects the claims of Glaucus; green from the garden’s herbs, such as wild thyme, rosemary, fennel, and oleander; blue from the vanished edge swimming pool, which seamlessly joins with the Mediterranean Sea.

Villa Glaucus is in the same area as Villa Ariadne, Villa Androgeus, Villa Deucalion, Villa Phaedra, Villa Xenodice, Villa Catreus and Villa Acalle; each maintains its privacy. Villa Glaucus is a twin to Villa Phaedra and a lit bit bigger. All villas are located on a slope with olive groves of Kissamos with a panoramic sea view. The villa’s complex includes a reception and a private parking area. The distance to the beach is just a short walk away, only 2km.

Inside the villa

A luxurious property that combines tranquillity, freedom, autonomy, and well-being. The interior has been designed to highlight the warmth of the Mediterranean sunshine, which spreads through the expansive picture windows and the sliding glass doors. White colour with orange and brown-grey glass details emphasize the natural lighting by its reflections. Villa Glaucus has two-storey levels, two bedrooms with en-suite baths and can accommodate up to 4 adults in an area of 110m².
