Treasure Island - Nine Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 20

Step into a world where history, myth, and luxury intertwine at Treasure Island, a private sanctuary in the Petalioi Islands, just an hour by boat from Athens. Once part of a Russian princess’s dowry when she married the King of Greece, and later a retreat for icons such as Jacqueline Onassis, Rudolf Nureyev, Greta Garbo, and Gene Kelly, this island’s past is as glamorous as its present. Rumour even has it that Aristotle Onassis once tried to buy it before turning to Skorpios. Enveloped by 900 acres of untouched Mediterranean landscape and shimmering turquoise waters, this secluded island invites you to experience Greece at its most authentic and romantic.At the heart of Treasure Island lies a neoclassical beachfront villa, lovingly built by the current owner’s family over 100 years ago. The main house sleeps 8–9 guests, with additional bedrooms and a charming cottage for larger groups. Spacious whitewashed interiors, antique French windows, and marble en-suite bathrooms balance comfort with timeless elegance, while terraces frame sweeping views of uninhabited islets and distant mountains. Outdoors, gather around a vast wooden table for alfresco feasts, wander to the island’s chapel, or set out to explore by foot, bike, or boat. Whether you’re diving into crystal-clear waters or simply sinking into the sand with the sea as your soundtrack, Treasure Island offers not just a stay—but a story steeped in history and serenity.



Note: The island shown in aerial shot is one of the group of islands in the estate but not where the main accommodation is, for privacy reasons. Guests are able to visit this island during their stay.

Location:

Treasure Island is located in a private island group in the north of Cyclades, close to Evia island. One of the stunning Greek islands, just an hour by ferry from Athens via Rafina Port. The journey from Athens International Airport to the island takes approximately two hours door-to-door, making it a quick and comfortable trip. Ferries depart regularly throughout the day, with several routes to choose from. The ferry journey to Marmari fish port lasts about an hour, after which a boat transfers you to the island. For larger groups, transfers may be arranged in stages. Alternatively, you can opt for a 10-minute helicopter ride from Athens Airport or a 25-minute speedboat trip from Rafina Port.

The island offers over 900 acres of natural beauty, perfect for exploring on foot or by bicycle, and boasts an array of beautiful beaches ideal for relaxing, swimming, or snorkelling. For those keen to venture further afield, a water taxi service is available, or you can hire a boat or speedboat (with or without a captain) to explore the surrounding areas. Excursions such as scuba diving can also be arranged, subject to availability.

Once on the island, there’s no need for a car—bicycles are provided for guests to cycle around with ease. For a unique local experience, you can spend a day fishing with a local fisherman or enjoy a picnic on one of the island's pristine beaches. The island is home to rare Skirian horses - an ancient, endangered minature breed of donkey native to Skyros and Carolina, a charming Shetland pony.

Athens, the vibrant capital of Greece, is just an hour away by ferry or 30 minutes by speedboat, making it easy to plan a day trip. Immerse yourself in Greek culture by visiting iconic sites like the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel adorned with ancient structures, or the National Archaeological Museum. Browse the bustling markets for fresh meat, fish, and spices, or indulge in a meal at one of Athens’ many restaurants. As the sun sets, soak in the views while enjoying live music.

Treasure Island is also conveniently close to the cosmopolitan islands of Santorini and Mykonos, both reachable by boat or helicopter. These islands offer picturesque cobbled streets, whitewashed houses adorned with bougainvillaea, and vibrant nightlife. Other Cycladic gems such as Kea, Andros, and Tinos are nearby and worth exploring for their scenic landscapes, quiet beaches, and fascinating archaeological sites.
