Villa Akrotiri is perched atop a hill that overlooks the village of its namesake and offers a mesmerizing panorama encompassing Kefallinia Island, and the boundless expanse of the Ionian Sea. The villa is six kilometres from the nearest international airport, and a scenic drive through the Greek countryside takes you to your exclusive holiday home. A short walk will get you to the nearest beach, which is just five hundred metres from the villa. Situated in a serene locale, the villa is strategically placed just a brief drive away from Zante Town, the charming capital of the island.
For those seeking more organized coastal experiences, Tsilivi, a popular beach resort, is just two and a half kilometres from the villa. Essential amenities, including shops and restaurants, are accessible in Tsilivi or Zante Town. The town of Zante is full of historical and cultural gems, including St. Markos Square and Solomos Square, picturesque neighbourhoods, and the bustling Zakynthos port—a gateway for captivating turtle-spotting cruises. All aboard for a day at sea on a traditional caique, where you can sunbathe, swim, and snorkel under the summer sun.
Further afield explore Navagio Beach, famous for the iconic shipwreck on its shores, and accessible only by boat. Sail to the fascinating Blue Caves on the north coast with their unique rock formations. Go southwest and snorkel the Keri Caves. Take a tour around the island to see traditional Greek villages, and sample the honey, olives, and wine along the way.
If it’s nightlife you are after, Laganas Bay has a lively vibe with beach clubs, bars, and restaurants coming alive as dusk falls and the sun sets.
