PREMIUM LISTING

Solar Dome Retreat — Potamia

Six-metre geodesic solar dome on private land above Potamia

A Premium listing, and unlike anything else on this list. A fully off-grid, solar-powered glass dome with its own pool, land and terrace — no shared building, no neighbours, no mains electricity. Almost entirely glazed, with a roof window that opens straight onto some of the darkest skies in the Aegean, so guests watch the stars from bed. Starlink throughout, A+++ air conditioning, and evenings cool enough that you rarely need it.

  • Features: Private pool and terrace, private land, exceptional stargazing, Starlink satellite internet, private parking
  • Power: Fully off-grid solar with battery storage
