Houzz Escape: Bask in a Mini Greek Getaway

I've got no travel plans on the near horizon, so I'll be taking a few virtual getaways instead of the real deal. Care to join me? Today I'm looking at Greece, as imagined through photos on Houzz:

A dramatic bougainvillea frames the entrance from the street.
I imagine the inside looks something like this, with nothing but simple white to further relax the mind.
