Amodeli Seafront House

A rare waterfront property on the edge of Plomari — two independent, fully-equipped stone houses on wide wooden decks above a semi-private beach, a seven-hundred-metre walk from the centre of town.

Where the deck meets the sea.

On the shoreline at Amodeli, on the very edge of Plomari in southern Lesvos, a traditional Greek beach house sits right on the water, wrapped in wide wooden decks that reach out over the sea — with a semi-private beach at its feet and the centre of Plomari just a seven-hundred-metre walk away.

It is built as two separate, self-contained and fully-equipped houses, each with its own bedroom, living room, kitchen, toilet and shower — with air-conditioning, an oven and stove, a TV and a Miele dishwasher in each, and a shared service room with a washing machine and dryer.

Waterfront property like this has become almost impossible to find in Plomari. Whitewashed walls with soft scalloped edges, blue shutters, driftwood railings, olive and lemon trees growing straight through the deck, and a vintage fishing boat turned into a daybed — this is a genuinely rare and singular place.

Why Amodeli

Six reasons this is rare.

A true waterfront house, walkable to the centre of Plomari, with two independent units and a semi-private beach — this combination has become extraordinarily hard to find anywhere on the southern coast of Lesvos.

01

Directly on the sea

The property sits within the shoreline zone, its wooden decks cantilevered over the water with steps down to a semi-private beach. There is nothing between you and the open Aegean.

02

Two independent, fully-equipped houses

Two self-contained units, each with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, toilet and shower — and each fitted with air-conditioning, an oven and stove, a TV and a Miele dishwasher. Live in one and host in the other.

03

A walk from the centre of Plomari

About seven hundred metres — a ten-minute stroll — to the heart of one of Lesvos's largest and liveliest towns, with its harbour, tavernas, ouzeries and daily life all on your doorstep.

04

Wraparound decks & two outdoor kitchens

Sun-bleached timber decks with driftwood railings wrap the houses, with vine-shaded pergolas, a long wooden dining table and two outdoor kitchens for cooking and eating in the open air.

05

Authentic Greek character

Whitewashed masonry, blue shutters, antique carved doors, blue mosaic bathrooms, olive, lemon and fig trees through the deck — and the old fishing boat set into the timber as a daybed. Nothing here is generic.

06

Genuinely rare

Waterfront property in Plomari almost never comes to market now. A house that is on the sea, walkable to town, and this full of character is a singular opportunity.

Outdoor living

The decks — the true living room.

Wide wooden decks wrap the whole property, shaded by pergolas and by olive, fig and lemon trees that grow straight up through the timber. A long dining table under the vines, sun loungers at the railing, and the hand-built driftwood details that give the house its character.

The layout

Two houses, one seafront retreat.

The property is built as two separate, fully independent and fully-equipped units set side by side on the shore. Each is a complete little home — living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, with air-conditioning, an oven and stove, a TV and a Miele dishwasher. Together, with the decks and pergolas between them, they make a private compound for family and guests.

Unit One

The house under the vine.

A whitewashed stone house opening straight onto the deck through blue-framed doors, shaded by a pergola heavy with grapevine. Inside: a living room, a fitted kitchen, a mosaic bathroom with shower, and a sleeping loft tucked under the timber roof.

Unit Two

The house by the water.

The second house mirrors the first — its own living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom — set closest to the sea, with blue shutters and doors that fold back to bring the deck and the horizon inside.

Inside the houses

Cool stone rooms, wooden ceilings, blue light.

The interiors of both houses are simple and serene — whitewashed walls, exposed wooden roof beams, oak floors, blue-framed windows that frame the sea, and soft sectional sofas that face straight out to the deck. Each is air-conditioned and has its own TV.

Sleeping

Bedrooms under the timber.

Each house has its own bedroom — calm, white-walled, with exposed wooden ceilings and blue-framed windows that open to the morning sea. Both are air-conditioned; one has a wall-mounted TV.

Two indoor kitchens · two outdoor kitchens

Kitchens in and out.

Each house has its own fully-fitted indoor kitchen — oven, stove, fridge and a Miele dishwasher. Out on the decks, two further outdoor kitchens make it effortless to cook and eat entirely in the open air.

Mosaic tiles & rainfall showers

Bathrooms in Aegean blue.

The bathrooms are a highlight — clad in small blue-and-white mosaic tiles, with rainfall showers, vessel basins and blue-framed windows. Each house has its own; a separate service room adds a washing machine and dryer.

The details

Antique doors, driftwood & a boat.

The houses are full of hand-made, one-of-a-kind touches: a pair of antique carved doors in weathered blue that frame a view straight through to the water; railings built from bleached driftwood branches; and, at the heart of it all, an old wooden fishing boat set into the deck and cushioned into a daybed for two.

It is the kind of character that cannot be built new — collected slowly, over years, by people who clearly loved the place.

The semi-private beach

Your own stretch of shore.

The decks sit directly above the water, with steps leading down to a semi-private pebble beach and the clear, deep blue of the south Aegean. Fishing boats drift past in the morning; the sun sets straight down the coast in the evening. This is a swim-before-coffee kind of place — and the centre of Plomari is only a short walk away.

Trees through the deck.

Old olive, lemon and fig trees grow straight up through openings in the timber, throwing dappled shade across the decks and scenting the air. Grapevines climb the pergolas. The garden and the houses are one and the same.

The place

Lesvos & Plomari.

One of Greece's most authentic island cultures — and, unusually for a waterfront home, right on the edge of a real, living town.

The island

Lesvos — the third-largest island in Greece.

Lesvos lies in the north-eastern Aegean, closer to the Anatolian coast than to Athens. Sixteen hundred square kilometres of land and three hundred and twenty kilometres of coastline — and one of the least developed of the Greek islands.

Its capital, Mytilene, sits in the south-east and operates the island's airport, with direct flights to Athens, Thessaloniki and seasonal European routes.

The town & the shore

Plomari — the heart of southern Lesvos.

A town of scholars, artists, fishermen and ouzo distillers. One of the largest settlements on the island, with the quality of a place where everyone still knows everyone — and the house is a short walk from its centre.

In the town

Stone houses tumble down to a working harbour where the morning catch is sold straight from the boats. Coffee is drunk slowly in the kafenio. Plomari is famously the centre of Greece's ouzo industry.

Summer follows the panigiri — town festivals beginning with the mid-July Ouzo Festival and culminating in late July's Agios Haralambos celebrations.

On the doorstep

The house sits at Amodeli, on the shore at the edge of Plomari — about seven hundred metres, a ten-minute walk, from the centre of town. A semi-private beach lies directly below, and the wider beaches of Agios Isidoros and Melinda are a short drive away.

Eating in Plomari

Tavernas a walk away.

With the centre of Plomari a few minutes on foot, some of the best food on the island is right there — fresh fish from the morning boats, grilled vegetables from the surrounding hills, local olive oil, and bottles of Plomari ouzo opened at the table.

Along the coast

Beach tavernas

A short drive along the shore, the fishermen's tavernas grill the morning's catch simply over coals — tables in the sand, feet almost in the sea.

Kafenia & ouzeries

The lanes of old Plomari are dotted with kafenia and ouzeries — slow Greek coffee in the morning, ouzo and meze in the evening, in the shadow of the distilleries the town built its name on.
