KEFALONIA

ITHAKA

PAGES 50-67

LEFKADA

PAGES 68-87

Home of Ionian Island Holidays and the largest, most varied of the seven islands.

Dramatic mountains and a coastline made for exploration, green valleys, secluded bays, havens of peace and solitude.

The island has some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece.

An island of hidden coves, green mountains and secret valleys where reality is as inspiring as the legend. Our properties are located in the south around the bustling main harbour Vathy and in the timeless small fishing harbour, Kioni, in the north.

Known as the White Island, Lefkada is wild in the west, with perfect beaches, a turquoise sea and rugged mountains above fertile eastern valleys. The rural tradition of centuries lives on in unspoilt villages amongst vineyards and olive groves.

OUR DESTINATIONS

PAGES 88-97

A unique island of where tradition and relaxation are combined to create a small, peaceful island where time really does stand still.

PAGES 98-99

Parga is justifiably referred to as the jewel of mainland Greece. It is an incredibly beautiful town, and the most perfect place by the sea. Picturesque and dramatic scenery enriched by a long and interesting history provide compelling reasons to explore the area.

PAGES 100-127

This island of olives is a holiday paradise welcoming visitors returning year after year.

Apart from Gaios, the bustling island port and capital, the rest of Paxos is comprised of small hamlets and isolated houses with no large holiday complexes. Even at the height of the season, this remains a peaceful island where it is possible to wander along old mule tracks and discover shaded paths down to hidden coves.

SKIATHOS

PAGES 146-153

The most romantic and verdant island of the Ionian. Corfu has inspired writers and poets for over a thousand years. Despite its popularity, the magic remains through its remote, traditional mountain villages, glorious bays and beaches, as well as its rich architectural and archeological heritage. We operate solely to the beautiful bays and harbours of Corfu’s idyllic north eastern coastline.

The smaller of the three inhabited islands and the most popular, due in part to its airport, but mainly because of its string of golden sandy beaches, bustling Skiathos Town and its clear waters. The west coast is spectacular and largely undeveloped, whilst the interior is still rural with olive groves, pine woods and aromatic hillsides that few explore.

SKOPELOS

ALONISSOS

PAGES 154-173

The island of reefs, a magnificent craggy coastline hiding secluded bays and narrow inlets, each with a sheltered beach fringed by pine forests and olive groves. Skopelos is remarkably undeveloped. The island’s eponymous capital is a bustling harbour with a maze of narrow paved streets, old churches and a Venetian fortress.

Tel. 020 8459 0777

PAGES 174-177

The remotest of the three inhabited islands, this is the haven we all dream about when life becomes too stressful. This narrow wooded island, once called Ikos (after the sun and there’s a clue) is about relaxation and tranquillity. There are many old trails, criss-crossing the island leading down to the uncrowded beaches.

PELION

PAGES 178-189

The Pelion Peninsula is truly unique. The Aegean on one side, the sheltered inland sea of the Pagasitic Gulf on the other and the mountains of the Pelion in the north.

The protected forests of oak, chestnut and beech are the crowning glory of the Pelion.

Unaltered over the centuries, they cover every hillside, valley and ravine. The Pelion is unsurpassed for exploration on foot.

MULTI-CENTRE HOLIDAYS Every Greek Island is unique, even though they may only be separated by the narrowest of channels. Take Lefkada and Paxos for example.

They might share the same wonderful climate, a common language, crystal clear blue water, you could even argue that a Corfiot olive tastes exactly the same as a Paxiot one, but to discover what it is that makes these and any other Greek Islands so distinctive takes time. Time to relax of course but also time to experience their individuality, culture, history and landscape.

And that’s where we come in. No longer need you wonder what life is like on that island framing the view, nor confine yourself to a flying visit by tour boat, pleasant as it might be, we can make it simple for you to experience a stay on both.

We organise everything from flights to local transfers and accommodation. You will need to contact us for an exact costing. Due to different airport departure dates we are restricted to what combinations we can offer but we have listed some of the popular options below.

• Kefalonia & Ithaka • North & South Kefalonia • Lefkada & Meganissi • East & West Coast Lefkada • Lefkada & Parga • Paxos & Lefkada • Paxos & Meganisi • Paxos & Parga • Skopelos & Alonissos • Skopelos & Pelion • Pelion & Alonissos • Pelion & Skiathos • Skiathos & Alonissos • Skiathos & Skopelos

Kefalonia has some of the most spectacular scenery in the region, such as the Ionian’s highest peak, Mt Ainos with its famous fir forests, standing guard over the sandy beaches of the south, spectacular caves in the east, magnificent seacliffs in the west and the gentler beauty of the Lixouri and Erisos Peninsulas in the north. Combine all this with the Kefalonian people themselves, individual, genuinely friendly and possessing a marvelous sense of humour and it is easy to understand why so many visitors return year after year.

There is something for everyone on this island. For the archaeological amateur detective there is recent evidence (though whisper this softly if you visit its smaller neighbour) that the island of Homer’s epic called Ithaka is in fact Kefalonia! There’s even an acropolis that predates its more famous counterpart in Athens.

Venetian fortresses, British designed roads and bridges, certainly the island has a cosmopolitan history, much of which can still be seen today.

History aside, perhaps Kefalonia’s greatest asset lies in its diversity.

For a family day out on a blue flag beach with all the conventional amenities, Lassi near the island capital Argostoli would be hard to beat. Perhaps the choice might be a secluded beach where ancient olive trees provide shade for a quiet read (or siesta!) with the blue waters of the Ithaka Channel at ones feet, then Foki Bay near Fiskardo will appeal.

You can also explore by car the unspoilt mountain villages of the interior, the fertile valley vineyards such as Robola or the high forests of Mt Ainos, then walk the incredible mule track from Assos that climbs the mountain behind. Maybe just stay at home, on balcony or terrace, contemplating the view, thinking about a swim in the pool or whether to eat in at your barbecue or out at a waterside tavern.

Kefalonia is the home of Ionian Island Holidays, so we might be just a little biased, but we would love to share it with you!

Fiskardo harbour

FISKARDO, ASSOS & THE SOUTH COAST Foki Bay

FISKARDO KEFALONIA’S JEWEL IN THE CROWN WHERE HISTORY AND SETTING COMBINE TO MAKE THE PERFECT HOLIDAY DESTINATION. This sheltered harbour, tucked into the northern tip of

Kefalonia, lined with elegant Venetian houses has been a haven for seafarers for over ten centuries. Spared by a quirk of geology from the devastation of the Great Earthquake in 1953, Fiskardo and its surrounding hamlets have become increasingly popular for those seeking quiet holidays in unspoilt surroundings.

KEFALONIA

Natural beauty, an intriguing history, attractive waterfront shops and tavernas, and the comings and goings of fishing boats, ferries and yachts, Fiskardo has it all but on an intimate scale with none of the brashness of the larger resorts. Add in the friendliness of the local people, the unspoilt beauty of its coastline and interior and our selection of traditionally built, comfortable villas in delightful settings provides all the ingredients for the perfect holiday. Be warned staying in Fiskardo can easily become a way of life!

ASSOS A VENETIAN CLIFFTOP FORTRESS, SHELTERED COVE IN SPECTACULAR SURROUNDINGS.

THE SOUTH COAST SUPERB BEACHES, HIGH MOUNTAINS, BLUE SEAS AND WIDE OPEN SKIES, SOUTH KEFALONIA HAS IT ALL.

This small cluster of whitewashed houses on a narrow isthmus protected by the mountains and cliffs of the Erisos Peninsula seems well off the beaten track. And speaking of tracks, the more energetic might discover the ancient mule track, largely constructed by unfortunate prisoners incarcerated in the fortress that zig-zags up the mountain slopes above the village passing old vine terraces carved out of the cliffs. On the other hand a main square shaded by plane trees, a handful of tavernas and a safe beach next to the quay might prove equally attractive, or possibly a visit to the world famous Myrtos Beach, a crescent of white shingle and sand enclosed by towering cliffs is a few minutes’ drive away.

Tel. 020 8459 0777

Kefalonia is an island of contrasts: the high mountains of the interior separate landscapes and ways of life that are uniquely different, South to North, East to West each region has its own distinctive atmosphere. Argostoli, the island’s thriving capital, rebuilt since the earthquake in 1953, is the gateway to the southwest coast, with its superb blue flag beaches. Lassi, Platis Gialos and Skala are the most popular but there are many other smaller and quieter stretches of sand tucked in secluded coves.

Just a few miles inland is a different world altogether; fertile valleys fed by springs from the Ionian Islands highest peak, Mt Ainos are still cultivated for vines, wheat and vegetables. Traditional villages, historic castles and monasteries connected by traffic free lanes through fields and woodland lend themselves to gentle exploration. Mt Ainos itself is a rewarding expedition on foot leading to a summit view of virtually the whole of the Ionian, surely worth celebrating with a glass or two of Robola, but should the call of the sea be too loud, our villas here are perfectly located to enjoy the best of both worlds.

KEFALONIA

The main coast road from Argostoli, Kefalonia’s capital to Fiskardo rivals any of the more renowned corniches of the French Riviera. Constructed over two centuries ago by the islanders it is a marvel of civil engineering and hard manual labour allowing the modern traveller access to one of the island’s most historic settlements, the tiny harbour and village of Assos.

FISKARDO

TALENTI’S HOUSE

PROBABLY THE FINEST WATERSIDE LOCATION IN FISKARDO 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6

PROPERTY INFORMATION

i

What’s included Flights, accommodation, transfers, welcome pack Accommodation 3 bedroom villa on the water’s edge

A five minute easy walk along a narrow lane leading south from the village brings you to a house built on the water’s edge boasting one of the most enviable locations in Fiskardo. Crystal clear turquoise water laps against the lower walls. The bedrooms and living area look out to a magnificent vista of headlands, distant hills and the Ithaka Channel, where Odysseus’ fabled kingdom fills the eastern horizon.

To make the most of this fantastic outlook, Talenti’s House has been designed ‘upside down’ so that the living space is upstairs to lend height to the view, whilst the bedrooms are below.

Even falling asleep at Talenti’s is a magical experience with the sound of the waves gently brushing against the shoreline.

KEFALONIA

The L-shaped living room opens onto a terrace, which is partly shaded and continues round to a spacious area for sunbathing or that all important al fresco dining experience.

The bedrooms are accessible by an internal staircase leading down to two of the three bedrooms, a shared balcony and the main bathroom. The third bedroom with its own WC and hand basin is accessible from the outside balcony. There is an old boathouse at sea level, hung with nets and a huge oak wine-barrel a perfect place to enjoy a quiet moment by the water’s edge. Naturally, there is swimming on the doorstep off the rocks.

For added enjoyment to enhance your stay why not hire your own motor boat which can be moored on the little jetty during the day.

Talenti’s House is a popular choice for those who like quirky, rustic unusual houses with plenty of character in a spectacular location.

Waterfront apartments balcony

FISKARDO

KARTERI & WATERFRONT APARTMENTS APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 5 • SHARED PLUNGE POOL • AIR CONDITIONING IN LIVING AREAS

One of the many advantages of a holiday in Fiskardo is that everything is on your doorstep, such as the array of excellent tavernas and small shops, the comings and goings of the yachts and fishing boats, the narrow alleys and paved waterfront all free from traffic. The nearest beaches are just a short stroll away.

The Karteri and Waterfront Apartments are situated adjacent to each other in the heart of the village, just a few steps away from all its amenities. Both have strong links to Fiskardo’s colourful history. Karteri means “to wait or ambush”, and the apartments have been built into the hillside which owing to its sweeping views of the Ithaka Channel was used by lookouts to warn of the approach of pirates, yet still be within easy reach of the galleys moored in the harbour.

Karteri Apartments have been designed to maximize the views over the harbor and coastline.

Each apartment or studio has its own terrace or balcony perfect for watching the daily activity in the harbour or later those ships that pass in the night along the Ithaka Channel. All are comfortable and fully equipped. A pathway and steps lead down past the terraced gardens and plunge pool shared with the Waterfront to a flag-stoned alley and the harbour.

The Waterfront as its name implies overlooks the quayside. The house was built by Makis, the present owner’s grandfather, who owned a trading schooner. His grandmother used to stand on the balcony watching and waiting for the first sight of her husband’s ship returning to port.

Today there are two comfortable apartments each with its own balcony, perfect for watching today’s world go by below on land and sea. A good night’s sleep is assured as the bedrooms are at the rear of the apartments. Given their location right in the centre of Fiskardo it is not surprising that many of our guests return to these apartments year after year.

KALOKERI APARTMENTS

ONE OF THE FINEST PANORAMAS IN KEFALONIA WITH MAGNIFICENT VIEWS TOWARDS ITHAKA AND LEFKADA APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 5 • SHARED SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • PART CAR HIRE

The harbour of Fiskardo in north Kefalonia has earned itself a huge reputation despite being a small fishing harbour. It encapsulates everything that makes the Ionian Islands so special; history, architecture and above all an outstandingly beautiful location. The view of the waterfront with its colourful mix of fishing boats, yachts and the old Venetian lighthouse across the bay is justifiably famous.

To appreciate the full grandeur of the setting, one should really walk up the hill and find a glade in the fir forest above the village as suddenly all is revealed in a wide sweep that encompasses the gleaming white peaks of Lefkada, the green hills of Epiros, mysterious Ithaka and the sparkling waters of the Ionian. It is quite simply breathtaking and inspirational.

KEFALONIA

The Kalokeri Apartments have turned dream into reality being a mere ten minute stroll from Fiskardo, the panorama from any of the balconies has to be seen to be believed, a view for all hours of the day and all seasons. In the morning, light and shadow highlight the mountains, by night the sea becomes a dark mirror, dotted with fishing boats as they make their way back to harbour with the night’s catch. At midday with the breeze the yachts spread out past the millionaire’s island of Arkoudi, bound for Meganisi or Kalamos.

12

With half closed eyes, one can imagine the Corinthian fleet sailing north up the channel past the cliffs of Ithaka towards Corfu during the great Battle of Sivota in 420 BC. The breeze settles during the evening and the sun sets beyond Sappho’s Point on Lefkada to the west. Looking down across the tree tops, the pantiled roofs of the village fade and the lights emerge, reflected in the darkening water.

The apartments are comfortable and designed to maximise the amazing views, a good size pool with ample shade on those very warm days and a snack bar for drinks and light lunches. www.ionianislandholidays.com

The two bedroom apartments have a twin bedroom at the rear and a double bedroom at the front which leads onto a private balcony. There are also two shower rooms and a balcony leading out from the living room. The one bedroom apartments have double or twin beds with a shower room, living room with a sofa bed leading onto the balcony (air conditioning is in the living area). Studios are extremely spacious and have double or twin beds, shower room and their own sizeable private balconies with those amazing views. Ground floor apartments each have their own terrace.

Exploring the fascinating Erissos coast couldn’t be easier; the picturesque Emblisi Beach is less than ten minute walk. Motor boats are available for hire to discover the uninhabited east coast with its bays only accessible by sea, or across to the fascinating island of Ithaka.

Kalokeri or ‘Summer’ is one of the more evocative Greek words. It translates literally as ‘fine weather’ and as northern Kefalonia experiences over 300 days of sunshine a year, the spirit of summer lasts a long time here.

ALEXANNA APARTMENTS APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 5 • SHARED SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

A five minute drive from Fiskardo along the eastern coastline brings you to Matsoukata, the charming family village of Tassos and his wife Rowena. It is hard to believe you are so close to bustling Fiskardo, such is the wonderful atmosphere and peace of your surroundings.

The Alexanna Apartments consist of two sand coloured houses with traditional shuttered windows, both carefully and lovingly constructed around the family’s precious olive grove.

Some of these trees are many hundreds of years old.

There are a total of six apartments in the first house: two studios, three one bedroom and one two bedroom apartments, with three studios in the second. All apartments enjoy wonderful view across the green forest carpet towards Doliha Bay and to Ithaka beyond. Two of the ground floor balconies are sheltered from the sun by a canopy of vines and a third by bougainvillea.

A pleasant twenty minute walk brings you to the traditional village of Manganos, where you will find a well-stocked store, a greengrocer, kafenion and family run taverna with sublime sunsets.

Whether it is the play of light upon the glistening sea, the sun and shadows on the green hills of Ithaka or the contrasting shapes of the slender cypress’s and the broader olives swaying gently in the breeze, no two apartments have exactly the same view from their balconies or terraces but all are equally memorable.

Alexanna is surrounded by an abundance of vibrant and fragrant flowers and shrubs. Carefully planted and regularly tended by Rowena, the gardens behind are beautifully landscaped, with a large swimming pool set in a glade of hollyoaks and olive trees. Pool side is a perfect place to relax, as there is little to disturb you apart from the occasional sound of the goat bells from the neighbouring hillsides.

The west side of the high plateau of the Erissos Peninsula consists of a long line of great cliffs and headlands, whilst the more sheltered eastern side is clothed in oak and cypress forest overlooking the legendary island of Ithaka. It is here that one finds a series of small villages and hamlets, originally built many hundreds of years ago.

Villa Asteria, built more recently and offers exquisite views across the channel to Ithaka, with the tiny island of Asteris, or Star, and its lonely chapel.

The elegant two-storey Villa Asteria, built in the traditional Kefalonian style has been furnished to a good standard, and designed with families or larger groups in mind. If there are youngsters in the party they will enjoy the children’s pool which adjoins the main swimming pool. Both are situated on a spacious terrace, with shaded areas, comfortable armchairs from which to appreciate the uninterrupted view out over the forested hillside to the mountains of Ithaka.

ALONI COTTAGES 2 TWO BEDROOM VILLAS AND 1 TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT • SLEEPS 2 – 5 • SHARED SWIMMING POOL AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

Aloni is the Greek word for ‘threshing floor’, a circle of carefully laid flagstones with a post in the middle usually built on a rise to catch the wind, around which a donkey was led to separate the wheat from the chaff. Spiros and Georgia were careful to preserve this important piece of island history when they built houses amongst the olive trees. Near the small village of Antipata on the hill above Fiskardo, it has become a focal point of the properties, minus the donkey of course!

There is a delightful rural appeal, with trees surrounding the houses through which the island of Lefkada can be seen. The houses are secluded and set off the coastal road, but are only a short walk from the village of Antipata where there are two tavernas and a mini market.

Dafnoudi Beach can also be reached by a pleasant walk of about twenty five minutes, through the delightful cypress forest.

Spiros and Georgia live in the upstairs apartment of one house whilst the lower apartment, “Georgia”, is completely separate. Georgia is a very spacious and comfortable two bedroom apartment. There is a partly shaded terrace to the front and the one twin bedroom has French windows with its own patio and sea views. The couple respect the privacy of their guests and are lovely, warm people.

Spiros and Georgia have named two delightful detached cottages on the land adjoining their home after their children, Apostoli and Eleni. Each has two bedrooms with French windows leading onto a shaded patio. The rooms are spacious and airy and have authentic touches, such as traditional wrought iron beds. The dining/ living room area is comfortable and beautifully laid out, with carvings made from local olive wood and a fully fitted kitchen area with washing machine.

Being west facing, all the houses enjoy beautiful evening skies. The shared swimming pool completes the appeal of this wonderful location.

KATSARATA NEAR FISKARDO

VILLA ASTRA

STUNNING VILLA WITH A PANORAMA OF THE MAGICAL SOUTHERN IONIAN ISLANDS 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS • CAR HIRE

On a fine summer’s morning as the first yachts ease their way off their moorings in the tiny port of Fiskardo the early risers are ordering their first coffee in one the waterfront cafes.

It’s hard to believe that life was completely different 70 years ago. The occupying Italian army, without logistical support, decimated the islanders’ food supplies. Farming communities such as Katsarata, on the hillside above Fiskardo, would have faced starvation had they not managed to hide their wheat harvest in caves and old cisterns in the surrounding woods. Now, in more peaceful times, traditional farming is no longer viable and these same fields provide the perfect setting for houses such as Villa Astra.

Built into the hillside on one level and set in its own walled and landscaped gardens, Villa Astra has been designed so that every room not only enjoys a daytime view stretching from the lighthouse to the south west of Lefkada, to the northern half of Ithaka, but also opens directly onto the front terrace and swimming pool. At nightfall, the house is transformed; the cooler evening air clears away the haze of the daytime heat.

KEFALONIA

The villa is designed to give the feeling of space with a large open plan living area with a wellequipped kitchen. A modern version of a traditional Kefalonian open hearth is the centre piece of the spacious sitting room. All three bedrooms lead out onto a terrace. The master bedroom has an adjoining shower room and two twin bedrooms share the main bathroom.

VILLA CHLOE

3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

Fiskardo comes alive at night, not to the beat of disco bars, but in a friendly, relaxed cosmopolitan way. The heat of the day subsides to a pleasant warmth and the yachts flying flags of many nations are all safely moored, whilst locals and visitors mingle on the quayside.

For a quiet evening in, watching the shadows lengthen and the colour fade from the hills of Ithaka or listening out for the haunting cry of the tiny Scops owl, the poolside terrace is perfect.

The days aren’t so bad either in this modern, comfortable villa with lovely views over the trees and water to Odysseus’s fabled kingdom of Ithaka with Lefkada’s dramatic mountains rising to the north.

Once you’ve climbed the stone steps from the driveway to the raised semi-circular terrace and swimming pool there are no more stairs, so this is easy and spacious holiday living on one floor with no arguments about whose room is closest to the pool.

This three bedroom villa has an additional separate shower and toilet, and the master double with its own en suite. The kitchen, living and dining room are open plan, with comfortable furniture and modern fittings complemented by a traditional wooden beamed and lined ceiling.

The view from inside the house can only be improved by stepping outside. For shade-lovers there is a delightful pergola, whilst the sun worshippers of the family can relax on comfortable sun loungers by the pool.

Chloe, whose name means “green shoot” is famous as the heroine of one of the few ancient Greek myths with a happy ending. Brought up by shepherds along with her lifelong sweetheart Daphnis, who is kidnapped by pirates but finally returns to his beloved and they live happily ever after. It’s a charming story and very appropriate for this lovely villa.

VIGLI NEAR MANGANOS

VILLA KAMINI

A BEAUTIFUL VILLA IN A WONDERFUL SETTING OVERLOOKING THE DRAMATIC WEST COAST 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

Until the British occupiers in the 19th Century built the extraordinary road between the mountains and the spectacular sea cliffs of the northwest coast of Kefalonia, the Erissos peninsula was only accessible from Argostoli by sea or by an arduous journey on horseback.

The scattered, isolated settlements and villages such as Manganos, Vigli, even Fiskardo itself maintained a way of life that had changed little since the arrival of the Venetians many centuries earlier. The inhabitants always built in the elegant Venetian style, and even today echoes of that graceful architectural heritage can often be found in newly built houses, such as the Villa Kamini.

The setting, amongst olives and almond trees, and a vineyard in front is secluded, but the piece de resistance is the view across a natural oak forest to the wide bay beyond, containing the awesome headland of Assos and Cape Atheras, where recent archaeological discoveries have uncovered strong historical evidence of links to the famous Odysseus.

KEFALONIA

Naturally the villa has been designed to maximize both the extraordinary setting and its stylish Venetian heritage. Built on one level, the two bedroom villa has a master double with en suite bathroom, and the twin bedroom with separate shower and toilet. The open plan dining/living room is beautifully furnished and encorporates a fully fitted modern kitchen opening onto the terrace overlooking the pool, colourful gardens and that stunning view. For those evenings at home watching the sun set over the sea, there is an excellent barbecue and seating area perfect for alfresco living.

A real sense of seclusion and privacy surrounds the villa, but the remoteness is just an atmosphere these days as the cosmopolitan and welcoming harbour village of Fiskardo is only a ten minute drive away, whilst the recently improved main highway based on the original road, though well out of sight and sound provides quick and easy access to the island capital of Argostoli and the rest of this uniquely varied island.

ALEXANDER’S HOUSE 4 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 8 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

The road from Fiskardo rises steadily until it flattens out at the hilltop village of Manganos.

Once through the village it is lined with cypress and oak trees, concealing one of the finest viewpoints in northern Kefalonia. Beyond the trees the land drops steeply into a wooded valley broken only by the red rooftops of the small hamlet of Matsoukata with its old terraced fields.

Where the trees end the Ithaka Channel begins, framed by the island and the mountains of Lefkada. Alexander’s House has been built on this very spot.

Such a setting deserves a house to match, and much care has been lavished on the design both inside and out. Approached by a private drive with automatic gates, it is set on a broad raised terrace surrounded by gardens, with every main window opening to the front and the view.

Even the infinity swimming pool enjoys the same view.

The main entrance is at the rear of the house leading into a large open plan living room with separate dining area to the side. Large double French windows open onto the front terrace, and the décor, fittings and furnishings have been carefully chosen to match the colours and texture of the setting. There is a fully fitted kitchen and cloakroom at the rear. A hallway leads to bedrooms on the ground floor, each with en suite bathroom and French windows opening onto the terrace.

The first floor master bedroom has double French windows at the front opening onto a balcony overlooking the pool, with its own en suite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The view from the side window over unbroken woodland to the Adriatic beyond is equally attractive.

Between the pool and barbecue area lies a separate one bedroomed guest house, with living/ dining area, kitchenette, bathroom and first floor double bedroom.

Built with both care and flair for the extended family or a group of friends, words and pictures cannot do justice to Alexander’s House.

VILLA PANORAMA 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

Assos is a haven of tranquility in one of the most spectacular settings in the Ionian, and this recently built villa, on the hillside above the harbour has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of that setting.

The master double bedroom with en-suite and the comfortable living room are situated at the front and open onto the paved terrace with its infinity pool. Inside or out the view across the sheltered harbour to the wooded slopes of the peninsula fortress beyond is exceptional.

This villa certainly merits its name! A twin bedroom, also with en-suite bathroom and a wellequipped kitchen area complete the accommodation.

Behind the house a quiet lane leads in a few minutes down to the centre of the village with its beachside plateia shaded by ancient plane trees, and waterfront tavernas. Nothing in Assos is overstated; this is a traditional Ionian fishing village that has retained its charm.

The village lies at the heart of the spectacular cliffs of the west coast of Kefalonia, and in Venetian times would have been a remote outpost accessible only by a steep mule trail winding up the hillside. The trail itself starts just behind the village and a few minutes’ walk reveals one of the most spectacular views in western Greece, and incredible sunsets!

Assos, despite its enviable end-of-the-world location is far from remote. The famous Myrtos beach is only a twenty minute drive away and the picturesque port of Fiskardo and the mountain villages of the Erissos peninsula are all easily explored by car.

A new, well-equipped and comfortable villa in the heart of an historic village in a magnificent setting: ancient and modern at its very best!

VILLA PELAGOS

CLIFF TOP WATERSIDE HOUSE ENJOYING A SPLENDID VISTA 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS • CAR HIRE

Private houses in Assos are extremely rare to come by, we are fortunate to be able to offer this lovely house with one of the most breathtaking views you can find anywhere in Greece.

Villa Pelagos stands on the south facing side of the narrow isthmus that links the village and the Venetian fortress.

From the outside a bougainvillea covered archway leads into a welcoming living/dining room and fitted kitchen. The charming double bedroom has an en suite shower, whilst the two twin rooms share an additional shower room. The master bedroom, one of the twins and the living room, all open onto a superb shaded terrace bordering a well-kept lawn, a most unusual feature of this area and perfect for sunbathing.

KEFALONIA

The view is unbelievable, mountains, high cliffs, inaccessible bays running in a great sweep to the south, all above a brilliant turquoise sea fringed with surf. It’s a view that is always changing, as spectacular in the early morning, when the sun rises above the mountains, through to the evening, when all the colours soften and at night when the sea glistens in the moonlight.

The village centre, with a number of restaurants, tavernas and a general store, is just a few minutes walk down the road or a stepped lane. The walks up to Assos fortress and around the peninsula are wonderful.

ASSOS

SEA PATH APARTMENTS APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

The Sea Path Apartments enjoy one of the most spectacular locations on Kefalonia. At its narrowest point the Assos isthmus is just wide enough for a building and a narrow lane.

On one side a coastline of cliffs, caves and waves breaking in white foam on hidden reefs. On the other side, pine woods and a hillside covered in flowers in spring and autumn, and provides the perfect backdrop to the red rooftops of the tiny harbour.

The building itself, although modern, complements the older architecture. Located on the ground floor are three two bedroom apartments each with its own terrace to enjoy the amazing sea views. On the upper level there is a studio with a shaded terrace, looking out over the sea and on this same level is the three bedroom apartment with no less than five balconies facing in three directions and a fantastic top floor bedroom with a sun terrace.

The interiors are comfortable with a good standard of fittings and furniture. Kostas and Akrivi scoured the antique markets of Athens for suitable ornaments. Akrivi is a talented artist and at least one of her works hangs in each apartment. They are also a very musical family, their son Miltiadies is a classical jazz musician of international repute.

Perhaps one of the main reasons that guests return here time after time is the family’s genuine and spontaneous hospitality, which makes new and repeat guests feel immediately at home.

One could easily spend a whole fortnight on one of the balconies, just taking in the everchanging view, as many of our returning guests to the Sea Path can testify.

PROPERTY INFORMATION

What’s included Flights, accommodation, transfers, car hire continental breakfast Accommodation 9 room family run pension

Situated on a narrow promontory beneath the Venetian fortress enjoying magnificent views, is the small and extremely well-run Cavos Inn. Vasso, the owner, originally from Crete and Vassilis, her Kefalonian husband have between them created something very special here.

With their perceptive eye for design, each room is tastefully furnished in different styles of light fabrics.

All the rooms have a cosy feel with en suite facilities and private balcony or patio area.

Those on the south side seem to hang right over the waves, with a glorious sweep of cliff, sea and mountains dominating the view, whilst the west facing rooms look directly across to the old vine terraces and pine woods on the headland, crowned by the honeyed walls of the great castle.

To the left one looks out across the white cliffs and rolling hills of the Lixouri peninsula, whilst to the right the eye is drawn down and across pantiled roofs to the harbour.

KEFALONIA

Five minutes down a stepped alley leads to the tree-lined plateia of Assos, surrounded by a cluster of traditional fishing cottages, tavernas, village shops and the harbour nestling beneath the caves, cliffs and old vine terraces of the headland. There is a town beach here, and even on those afternoons when the Meltemi wind sets the surf pounding against the rocks just a few yards away on the other side of the isthmus, barely a wave disturbs the fish queuing for crumbs from the taverna tables.

42

The Cavos Inn reflects the unique aspect of Assos. The tranquillity of an unspoilt fishing village,guarded by an historic castle, all set on a majestic wild coastline. Dolphins and on rare occasions even turtles, can sometimes be seen in the surrounding sea, so a pair of binoculars are recommended. The breakfast terrace has spectacular views that takes in the whole sweep of this truly wild coast. For civilised living in an exquisite setting, the Cavos Inn is unbeatable. www.ionianislandholidays.com

COSI’S INN

COSI’S INN IS SITUATED JUST ABOVE THE HARBOUR OF ASSOS WITH SUPERB VIEWS 9 STUDIOS • SLEEPS 2 • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE • BREAKFAST OR SELF CATERING OPTIONS

Two or three centuries ago most visitors to Assos might not have relished the prospect of their stay in these magnificent surroundings as they would have arrived in chains and been incarcerated in the remote Venetian fortress and prison! Today’s visitors now have the opportunity of a holiday in one of the most spectacular and peaceful situations in the Ionian Islands. The small fishing village clustered round a sheltered harbour is a haven that brings people back time and time again.

Cosi’s Inn, situated just above the harbour with superb views on both sides is an excellent example of the small but very welcoming apartments that is certainly one of the hallmarks of Kefalonia. It’s only a couple of minutes’ stroll from the Inn down to the harbour with its fishing boats, handy tavernas and mini-market. There’s even a lovely beach within the harbour a step or two away from the shady village square with its magnificent plane trees.

Each studio has a double bed, living area, shower room and kitchenette, with television should the views ever fail to please (somehow we doubt that) and air conditioning, although an evening breeze often arrives from sea and mountain, making the evening stroll down to the village for an alfresco supper on the quayside a pleasant prospect.

Assos has to be Kefalonia’s hidden gem, combine that with the friendly welcome at Cosi’s Inn and you have all the ingredients for a truly memorable holiday.

SOFIA’S COTTAGE

A TRADITIONAL SMALL COTTAGE LOCATED NEXT TO THE BEACH, HARBOUR AND PLATEIA IN ONE OF KEFALONIA’S MOST UNSPOILT AND PICTURESQUE VILLAGES 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT • SLEEPS 2 – 3 • CAR HIRE

Even in the 21st Century life in a small, unspoilt Kefalonian village revolves around the Plateia, and the village square in Assos also happens to enjoy one of the most spectacular situations in the Ionian, facing a Venetian fortress, beside a sheltered harbour enclosed by ancient terraced hillsides and rocky headlands. Sofia’s cottage located beside the Plateia opens out directly onto the waterfront, with a beach no more than a few steps away.

Sofia is a typical small, traditional fisherman’s cottage, simply furnished but comfortable and has the benefit of a large covered verandah looking directly across the harbour to the fortress on the headland beyond. The beach might be only five metres away, but you will have to walk at least ten to reach the Plateia with its magnificent plane trees and perhaps double that for a choice of tavernas and the min-market.

PROPERTY INFORMATION What’s included Flights, accommodation, transfers, car hire welcome pack Accommodation 2 bedroom waterside cottages • 1 double bedroom • 1 twin bedroom • Living/dining room • Kitchenette with fridge & mini cooker • Shower room • Spacious waterfront verandah • Stand up fans only • Maid service and linen changes on arrivals day and midweeks Closest amenities Restaurant(s): 1 min walk Beach: 1 mins drive (Myrtos Beach 20 mins drive) Mini market: 1 min walk

The verandah is also the perfect spot to watch the fishing boats returning with the evening menu on board. Inside there is a dining room with kitchenette in one corner, with two bedrooms, a twin and a double with a bathroom with shower.

KEFALONIA

Assos itself feels very secluded but is by no means remote. It is only a 20 minute drive to the world famous Myrtos Beach. Good roads now criss-cross the island making exploration by car very straightforward, but there are also some fascinating and spectacular walks nearby on mule trails built many hundreds of years ago.

However, it would be completely understandable if you made Sofia’s verandah your permanent base!

AI HELI

VILLA MARINA 5 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 10 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

Too often the choice of where to go for a family holiday can mean a lengthy “either/or “ discussion and eventually a compromise: the kids want a beach nearby, preferably with watersports available, perhaps even live music and dancing, whilst mum and dad are looking for some peace and quiet, a nice view and enough space so that no-one’s falling over each other in cramped accommodation. The Villa Marina could well provide the perfect solution!

This large five bedroomed villa with four shower/bathrooms has room to spare for everyone.

Even better, especially if there are teenagers in the family (or grandparents!), two of the bedrooms and a bathroom have their own separate staircase. There are at least five beaches within easy reach, either on foot or by a few minutes’ in the car, the nearest being just 100 metres away! And if that’s too far the house has its own private pool surrounded by lawns.

A large family needs good shopping nearby and Argostoli, the island capital ten minutes’ drive away has shops for every taste, from a colourful array of fruit and vegetable stalls on the waterfront, to well stocked supermarkets. Add traffic free streets with designer boutiques, smart cafés, gift shops, cinemas showing the latest Hollywood blockbusters and an excellent museum and there’s something for everyone. Nearby Lassi and Makros Giali are bustling resorts next to excellent beaches, whilst the village of Svoronata is just 2kms away, or even closer, a min-market and tavern within 250 metres. If a more adventurous day out is required, the ascent of Mt Ainos, the Ionian’s highest peak is a superb expedition by car and then on foot.

Staying at home with a good book in the cool, spacious open plan living and dining room with fully fitted kitchen is an attractive alternative, or later, out on the terrace in the cool of the evening watching the sun set over the Adriatic whilst fresh souvlakia (kebabs) grill on the barbecue and a bottle of the famous Robola wine chills in the fridge.

The southeast coast of Kefalonia from Argostoli to Skala has beaches to suit everyone, there’s even a choice of colours in the sands red, black, white or yellow! Many also have the coveted Blue Flag – hardly surprising as the Ionian Islands have some of the clearest seas in the Mediterranean. Lassi, near Argostoli is a perennial favourite with every amenity both on and off the water of a popular resort, but others such as Avithos a few minutes’ drive from the villas are much quieter and more intimate.

The views from the raised terrace in front of each villa are outstanding across to Zakynthos beyond the offshore rock of Dias and its tiny chapel.

Argostoli, the thriving capital of Kefalonia is within easy driving distance. Pedestrianized central shopping areas offer a wide selection of shops, pavement cafés and supermarkets whilst the bustling waterfront lined with colourful stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables.

KOURKOMELATA

VILLA FEINIKAS 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

The small hillside village of Kourkomelata has seen little development for over 50 years.

Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the village is characterized by its elegant villas surrounded by large gardens. The Villa Feinikas is a classic example of the kind. Approached via a private driveway off the street, the house, surrounded by landscaped gardens (with lawns of what must be the softest grass on the island!) and a line of impressive palm trees that give it its name, enjoys one of the best views in southern Kefalonia. To the south beyond the belltower of the village church the green hills of Zakynthos rise out of the Adriatic and behind the western slopes of Mt Ainos.

The interior of the villa is equally elegant with period furniture, cool spacious living and main bedrooms all laid out on one level. Behind the fully fitted kitchen is a separate bedroom and shower. French doors open onto a covered terrace running round two sides of the house, overlooking a vine covered pergola, the wide sweep of the lawns to the coast. A feature of this terrace is the large period wooden table, perfect for al fresco dining. The elegant design of both house and garden even extends to the swimming pool, built in the shape of a cloverleaf.

The coast is equally close, with a choice of excellent blue flag beaches such as the popular resort of Lassi, the quieter Ai Heli near the village of Svoronata or the family friendly Avithos. Inland the imposing fortress of St George dominates the wide valley below Mt Ainos containing the monastery and church dedicated to Aghios Gerasimos, patron saint of Kefalonia.

Recently refurbished, Villa Feinikas, combines elegance and comfort with superb views in a village setting, close to coast and mountain.

Kaligata is a small hamlet close to Metaxata the village where the poet and hero of Greece’s struggle for independence Byron lived and stayed for six months before his last, fateful journey to the mainland. He chose well, because the views across cypress and olive groves to the wide Adriatic beyond would have given him the inspiration for his poetry and the tranquility before the hard road ahead.

KEFALONIA

Two centuries on and of course there have been changes, this delightful, modern villa being one of them. Surrounded by the colourful gardens for which the hamlet is famous Villa Dina is a perfect holiday retreat. Naturally there is one important addition that Byron would not have experienced, a private pool on the front terrace of the house! Magnificent sunsets are a speciality of Kefalonia’s west coast and there is a separate BBQ area from which to appreciate them.

48

The villa is a short drive from some of the finest beaches on the island, Skala to the south or the smaller and quieter beaches such as Avithos. A trip to the island’s highest mountain Mt Ainos, home not only to the monastery of Kefalonia’s patron saint, Agios Gerasimos but also the vineyards where the famous Robola wine is made should not be missed. There’s history with a British connection nearby in the well preserved ruins of St George’s castle. For everyday supplies there are mini-markets a few minutes’ drive away. Also easily reached is Argostoli with its pleasant pedestrianized streets, excellent and varied shops, cafes and restaurants, a long harbour frontage lined with fresh fruit and vegetable stalls where fresh fish can be bought straight off the boat.

PROPERTY INFORMATION What’s included Flights, accommodation, car hire, welcome pack Accommodation 3 bedroom villa with private swimming pool • Private swimming pool: 9m x 5m (depth: 1m x 1.8m) • 1 double bedroom • 2 twin bedrooms • 2 separate shower rooms • Living/dining room with TV (limited channels), DVD & CD player • Open plan kitchen with fridge/freezer, full cooker, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine • WiFi internet access • Air conditioning • Barbecue • Maid service and linen changes on arrivals day and midweeks Closest amenities Restaurant(s):5 mins drive Beach: 5 mins drive (Avithos) Mini market: 5 mins drive Argostoli: 15 mins drive

“rocky and unfit for horses but good for goats”! A single road connects the island capital Vathy, with its sheltered fjord-like deep- water harbour giving the town its name, to a scattering of villages in the north such as Stavros and Kioni passing beneath the ancient monastery of Kathara, its bell tower a landmark from many miles away Vathy is a thriving port where the visitor is made to feel very much part of the community. Small hotels and

apartments share the narrow streets with homes, shops and tavernas that have been in the same family for generations. Kioni, set on an idyllic bay, and like its slightly larger counterpart on Kefalonia, Fiskardo, was spared the destruction of the great 1953 earthquake, so that the elegant Venetian houses remain largely intact.

Scholars continue to argue over whether the Ithaka of The Odyssey existed here, but undoubtedly the island has a unique atmosphere and lends itself to quiet discovery, whether along ancient paths to its pebbled coves, the Mycenian ruins or merely to absorb that other Ithaka, an island of the imagination and the poet.

Whether you stay for one week or the rest of your life you may absorb these lines by the famous poet C P Kavafy: “Ithaka gave you a marvellous journey, without her you would never have set out. Wise you have become and full of experience.

Now you will understand what these Ithakas mean.”

There are two Ithakas; a small Ionian Island, two mountains joined by a craggy ridge, rugged in the west, gentle and more fertile in the east where the shoreline is indented by numerous coves and sheltered bays where it’s said a million olive trees of a type unique to the island grow.

Only 3,000 Ithakians live here but many more can be found living as far away as New York, Cape Town and Melbourne. Like their famous ancestor Odysseus they are a seafaring people and even today many a merchant ship or ferry is crewed by seamen from the island.

It’s said that there are one hundred wells in the broad valley known locally as Campos that rises gently behind Vathy until it meets the steeper wooded slopes of the surrounding Marathias plateau. Certainly this is the most fertile area on the island, producing some of the finest wines and olive oils.

Agrambeli

ITHAKA

Set in lovely gardens, amongst olive trees and vineyards, these three villas, although recently built out of local stone, with bougainvillea, clematis and vines covering the walls, blend so well into the surrounding landscape that they seem much older. That same theme is maintained inside each house. Contemporary fittings and furnishings have been chosen to complement older pieces of craftsman made family furniture. The living/dining rooms are open plan, each with a well-equipped modern kitchen. The bedrooms all have air conditioning with windows either looking out over the gardens to the sea or across the vineyards towards the hills. The gardens provide each house with complete privacy but all enjoy one of the finest views on the island, out across the Inner Ionian Sea to the mountains of the mainland. Built on raised terraces fringed by trees, each with its own swimming pool and barbecue, there is always a choice between sunshine and shade.

52

This is one of the most peaceful areas of Ithaka, yet the main square on the waterfront in Vathy is only five minutes’ away by car along a quiet country road. This same road winds up the hillside to the plateau above, and one of the most far-reaching views of the island together with many of the sites mentioned in The Odyssey can be explored, Afroditi’s Spring, the Cave of Eumaios, and the spectacular crag of Korak (the Crow). Another lane nearby, driveable part way, leads to the picturesque and very quiet Caminia beach.

Away from it all yet close to all amenities is a winning combination. Perfection! www.ionianislandholidays.com

This delightful new two bedroom villa with a private pool has both a double and a twin bedroom both are en-suite. The living area and fully fitted kitchen are open plan all tastefully decorated and fitted with all the modern facilities one would expect from a new villa.

Villa Kounouvato is a charming villa set high on a hillside with a fantastic vantage point these have to be some of the most stunning views over southern Ithaka and across the Ionian to Lefkada. The villa is perfectly located, close to essential amenities and beaches. A mini market and taverna is only fifteen minutes walk away with the bustling harbour of Vathy only a ten minutes drive.

Outdoor living is certainly a priority at Kounouvato, with relaxation being the key. You enter the tastefully furnished house into a large open plan living/dining area with kitchen. Also on this floor are two double bedrooms both with en suite shower rooms.

VILLA LEFKI

A CHARMING VILLA WITH DELIGHTFUL VIEWS 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

The present occupier of that other ‘White House’ may never get an opportunity to stay in this superbly appointed villa, which is a shame because the views of the Kefalonia coastline which can be seen through the beautiful cypress trees with the forests and mountains of Kefalonia as well as the sunsets would undoubtedly lift the spirits and allow the cares of the world to drift away.

By carefully combining the use of traditional stone and wood with the latest in contemporary fixtures and fittings, the Villa Lefki is the perfect holiday home from home. Lefki village, a straggle of houses perched between mountain and sea has a distinguished history out of all proportion to its diminutive size. During the last war it was used as a staging post for escaping allied prisoners. The inhabitants took huge risks to hide the escapees until such time as their onward journeys to safety could be arranged. In recognition of their sacrifice the British Government funded the rebuilding of the village after the great Earthquake of 1953.

ITHAKA

The echoes of war are thankfully very faint now. What remains is an ideal base for a good all round holiday. One of Ithaka’s finest beaches at Agios Ioannis is a mere 10 minute drive away.

Old mule tracks criss-cross fertile olive and citrus groves, passing ancient cisterns and wells.

Stavros the main centre of northern Ithaka with its shops, tavernas and bakery is ten minutes away by car whilst Vathy is only a little further away in the other direction along a good road that follows the spectacular spine of the island.

The interior of the house, with its spacious master bedroom, double bed and en suite shower room, is complemented by an open plan lounge/dining room and a fully fitted kitchen.

The accommodation also includes a twin-bedded room with separate shower and toilet.

Outside you will find a spacious terrace with a good sized pool for those lazy summer days. www.ionianislandholidays.com

On Ithaka everything has its place. Even mighty Odysseus has to take his turn in everyday life! Kioni is a perfect example. Elegant houses and tavernas line a beautiful small harbour, a favourite port of call for any cruising yachtsman, whilst every morning the fishing boats thread their way past the mooring lines and anchor chains. Climb the hill above the village to the hamlet of Raki and farming takes pride of place.

All this gives the island its unique atmosphere. This villa, built into the steep hillside at the top of the village, has been sensitively designed to blend in with the older houses around. The view from the verandah’ and pool terraces is suitably spectacular, out across the sea to Arkoudi Island and the White Mountains of Lefkada.

KIONI

RIGONI APARTMENTS APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 3 • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

For centuries Kioni was a thriving fishing village and port that served the then large mountain village of Anoghi, built high on a plateau beneath Ithaka’s highest mountain Neritos, by a packhorse trail that led up through the forested hillside behind. Fishing boats and caiques waiting to load grain, olive oil and wine from the interior, would have filled this exquisite small harbour. Nowadays fishing boats are still present but they share their moorings with visiting yachts and the caiques carrying people not goods.

The Rigoni are five apartments in total but we have opted to use the three one bedroom apartments located on the first and second floors. The stunning views take in three old windmills on the far side of Kioni bay and beyond to the island of Atakos.

A central open staircase leads up to two double bedded apartments on the first floor each with a large terrace to the side, a further twin bedded apartment on the second floor. The living rooms are comfortably furnished with balconies to the front. The kitchen areas are well equipped and brightly painted. The bedrooms, either with twin or double beds, have their own balconies with sea views.

From the apartments you can continue along the lane past a whitewashed chapel and through mixed woodland to the pretty little beach where an unassuming Kantina sits amongst the trees, serving delicious lunchtime snacks, often with fresh fish. Kioni waterfront, with its tavernas and mini market is no more than ten minutes walk away, but why worry about time when you can stop off at one or all of the three tiny, almost hidden beaches (hint: look for steps!) for a quick dip in crystal clear waters on the way there or back again!

CHARMING APARTMENTS LOCATED IN ONE OF ITHAKA’S MOST POPULAR WATERSIDE HAMLETS, KIONI APARTMENTS •SLEEPS 2 – 3 •AIR CONDITIONING • SHARED SWIMMING POOL •CAR HIRE

The spectacular north east coast of Ithaka is dotted with captivating small bays and inlets.

Amongst these is the picturesque and unspoilt village of Kioni. It encapsulates everything that makes the Ionian Islands so special; history architecture and above all an outstandingly beautiful location. Striking old elegant houses are characteristic here, connected by a myriad of narrow alleyways and paths all leading to the enchanting waterfront with its colourful mix of fishing boats, yachts, local shops and tavernas.

Likoudis Apartments are situated in Kioni and in our opinion it’s probably one of the most stunning locations this beautiful island has to offer. Nestled on a verdant hill that overlooks the delightful bay, the apartments although modern, have been designed in stone and wood as the prevailing features which complement the older more traditional surrounding architecture.

The interiors have been tastefully decorated with elegant wood furniture, iron made beds and fine marble tables, built-in sofas covered by subtle pastel fabrics creating both an inviting and relaxing environment.

ITHAKA

Unusual for Kioni properties, there is a good-sized swimming pool set on a raised terrace overlooking the bay. Sun loungers and plenty of dappled shade make it the perfect spot for that relaxing siesta. A 10 minute stroll down the lane leads to the waterfront with its tavernas, cafes and well stocked mini market. We have also included a car which will allow you to explore this beautiful island at your leisure.

ELENI APARTMENTS APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 3 • AIR CONDITIONING • SHARED POOL WITH LIKOUDIS APTS • CAR HIRE

Kioni has one of the most picturesque settings in the Ionian, and these apartments have been designed to make the most of the view, not only of the village itself but also out and across the inner Ionian Sea dotted with wooded islands and the mainland mountains beyond.

Each apartment or studio has its own terrace facing the sea, perfect for watching the gentle activity below as the yachts and fishing boats come and go.

The ground floor studio is comfortable with a kitchenette, shower room and twin beds with French windows that open onto a terrace. There are also four comfortable one bedroom apartments, each with a living room and kitchen area, shower room and toilet. Each bedroom has either windows or French doors opening towards the sea. The bedrooms and living areas are all air conditioned, but open the windows on a summer evening when a cool breeze wafts up from the harbour and fills the rooms with the scent of jasmine and lemon blossom.

Twin apartments are on first floor whereas the double apartments are on second floor.

A stroll down the lane shaded by olive trees and bougainvillea leads to the waterfront with its tavernas, cafes and well stocked mini-market. Further narrow lanes, originally built for mules wind their way through the cluster of traditional houses, some leading to tiny beaches hidden from above. For the more energetic Kioni is the perfect start and finish point for a network of ancient paths built in Venetian times that connected this historic village port with the settlements in Ithaka’s mountainous interior. Many are well marked, but getting lost amongst the cool olive groves and oak woodland can be a real pleasure especially as every gap in the trees will reveal the harbour and bays below!

VATHY

PERANTZADA 1811 ART HOTEL 20 ROOM BOUTIQUE HOTEL • ROOMS SLEEP 2 – 4 • SHARED SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING

The early years of the 19th century were turbulent times throughout Europe, particularly for a Greek nation struggling for independence. Yet during this period Ithaka enjoyed an unparalleled prosperity, due in part to the initiative and imagination of its largely seafaring population. Ithakian vessels with Ithakan crews were sailing throughout the Adriatic and into the Black Sea, developing trade even as far as the upper reaches of the Danube. This new found wealth was used to build elegant neo classical houses around the wonderful natural harbour of Vathy, the island’s capital.

Nearly two hundred years later many of the elegant town houses have survived, albeit damaged in the great earthquake of 1953. The Perantzada Hotel was one of these and has recently been completely renovated and modernised to provide a stylish and supremely comfortable small hotel. The exterior, whilst maintaining the classical tradition has been painted blue to reflect the colour of both the Ionian sea and sky, a theme repeated inside with the addition of a brilliant white to set off the modern sculpture and murals that are a fascinating feature of the hotel.

The accommodation is spread over two buildings with swimming pool, all sharing the same superb view, designed for ultimate relaxation. All the rooms are extremely comfortable and the upper ones enjoy a view from their private balconies across the tiled roofs to the harbour which seems delightfully exclusive. As for the breakfasts, with their choice of traditional home made cakes and pastries, no more need be said other than that the locals can often be found here!

The hotel is located on a narrow, traditional alley which runs parallel to the waterfront and although quiet, it is just five minutes’ leisurely stroll along the harbour to the plateia, the hub of this charming port where visitors and locals gather to enjoy a meal or a drink in the long summer evenings.

Exploring the island by car not only makes discovery of its secret corners easy, it also opens up the equally beautiful mainland coastal mountains and the “inland sea” of the Ambracian Gulf. If the sea beckons, boats can be hired to discover the many sheltered coves on the south coast or board a Caique for a trip along the wild west coast with its

towering cliffs, beaches of dazzling white sand, accessible only from the sea, some with names such as Sappho’s Leap straight out of ancient mythology.

To sit on an empty beach on this fascinating island as the sun sinks gently towards the western horizon, towering white cliffs glowing pink and the sea turning from turquoise to deep blue, must surely be one of life’s most memorable experiences.

Fishing off Lefkada Town

LEFKADA

•Preveza

An island only since the 6th Century BC when a canal was dug across the low isthmus connecting it to the mainland, Lefkada has its own unique atmosphere, due to its landscape, inhabitants and the influence of the many different cultures that have established themselves over the centuries. The result is an island that offers the visitor so many opportunities for a memorable holiday. Whether it’s a walk through the lentil fields of a hidden mountain valley in the interior, still cultivated and harvested by hand, enjoying some of the world’s best windsurfing in Vasiliki or simply relaxing on a pool side terrace taking in one of a hundred stunning views, there is something for everyone on Lefkada.

Lefkada’s south coast, sheltered by high mountains is broken up by a string of bays and inlets that are almost Scottish in appearance, except the sun actually shines here and there are no midges! Mikros Gialos is perhaps one of the most picturesque and unspoilt of these “strings of pearls”, a traditional Lefkadan seaside village at the head of the bay complete with a gem of a beach. Striking old houses are characteristic here, connected by a myriad of narrow alleyways and paths leading to the local shops and tavernas serving appetizing traditional Greek cuisine.

The apartments themselves combine this spectacular setting with simple comfortable accommodation. Newly built, there is a selection of studios or one-bedroom apartments.

The latter have double or twin beds with a shower room, living room with a sofa bed leading onto the balcony. The studios are spacious and have double or twin beds, shower room and their own balcony. The design of these apartments ensures that each apartment is bright and airy, creating a cool comfortable living space with panoramic views across the Inner Ionian Sea to Kefalonia, Ithaka and a host of smaller islands.

There is a good-sized swimming pool set on a raised terrace overlooking the bay. Sun loungers and plenty of dappled shade make it the perfect spot for that essential relaxing siesta.

The interiors of these villas, offer well designed living accommodation with a spacious living and dining area, well-equipped kitchen and two bedrooms, one double and one twin with two separate bathrooms.

KANTOUNA, NEAR LIGIA

VILLA VALMIRA & MOSTRA

CONVENIENTLY SITUATED NEAR LEFKADA TOWN AND THE MORE GENTLE WATERS AND SHELTERED BEACHES OF THE EAST COAST 2 TWO BEDROOM VILLAS • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

Lefkada is an island of contrasts. Rugged mountains, tranquil bays, rich farmland, spectacular seacliffs, sheltered lagoons and salt marshes all contained in an area less than the size of the Isle of Wight! Choosing a base from which to discover this fascinating island might seem a little tricky, but one answer could be the Villa Valmira and Mostra.

Situated on a wooded hillside above the small fishing village of Ligia near Lefkada Town, these two bedroomed villas look out over olive trees to the Inner Ionian Sea and the old fortress of St George on the mainland. Apart from their beautiful location, they are perfectly placed for exploring the whole island with the added advantage of close proximity to the island capital with its unique old houses, built out of timber and corrugated iron to withstand earthquakes. From here it is only a short drive across the famous canal to the mainland and the hills of the Epiros Coast. This part of Lefkada also has a network of old so leaving the car at home for pleasant strolls through olive groves and fields is yet another option.

LEFKADA

So many choices, but relaxing at home with beside the private pools is also an attractive proposition and the ever changing view of white sails on blue water with the hills beyond shimmering in the haze can be all absorbing!

MEGANISI

LET THE QUIET BEAUTY OF MEGANISI GENTLY WASH AWAY THE CARES OF THE WORLD

Spartohori

MEGANISI

Meganisi, “The great island” in Greek is actually one of the smallest, unless greatness here refers to its beauty and tranquility. This is the true Greece, found a few nautical miles away from the bustle of Lefkada’s main resort Nidri. Those who are lucky enough to stay on the island even have two churches at each entrance to the harbor of Vathi to bless their coming and going.

88

Naturally an island of such rare beauty has figured in mythology when Tafios a son of Poseidon made the wise decision to build a city and palace here, and later Odysseus generously gave his fleet to Mentor a later king. There has been little change since then, a few new villas sensitively built in traditional style, a comfortable and welcoming hotel and excellent tavernas and minimarkets near the harbour; apart from these Meganisi is a haven for walking along virtually traffic-free lanes, coming upon hidden coves and quiet beaches or finding a shady glade amongst the olives to while away a hot afternoon, the silence broken only by the sound of goat bells across the valley and a

view of a white sail on an azure sea.

An equally enjoyable way of exploring the island is to take the ferry back to Nidri and then choose one of the many excursion boats that circumnavigate both Meganisi and the island of Skorpios. The rugged coast is home to numerous large caves some big enough to sail into, and lonely beaches accessible only from the sea.

It is an extraordinary thought that this tiny oasis of peace and solitude can be reached from the rush and noise of our English metropolis in just a few hours, and because the available accommodation is so limited it will never become overrun by mass tourism. If your idea of the perfect holiday is freedom from stress, beautiful surroundings, a friendly truly Ionian welcome and sheer relaxation then the “little big island” has to be the number one choice.

These two villas were built next to a small chapel, Ai Lias, by Tassos and Anthi whose grandfather Epaminondas the local priest, doctor and teacher, on the same land had a threshing floor which was in use for wheat and barley until 1970. Tassos named the villas after his children, Daphne and Myrto.

Meganisi, literally means “the Big or Great Island”, a strange name for one of the smallest inhabited islands in the Ionian but as any regular visitor will tell you, in many other ways it fully merits its name. Big for the natural friendliness of its inhabitants, great for its setting, amongst a string of smaller islands on the lake-like Inner Ionian Sea, there’s certainly nothing small about the view from these two lovely villas set on a hillside overlooking the sea and the entrance to Vathi’s sheltered harbour framed by the hills of Lefkada and the mainland mountains.

Situated in their own terraced grounds the villas are approached via a shared drive but it’s only a short stroll of 200 metres down to the shops and waterfront tavernas of Vathi. Although they both have the same overall design, due to the natural contours of the hillside, there is a slight difference in their individual layouts.

In both villas the master double bedroom with its own dressing room and bathroom is on the ground floor. Steps lead from here to the first floor living/dining room and fully equipped kitchen area. Also on the first floor is a twin bedroom with bathroom and a staircase leading up to a spacious twin bedroom and bathroom.

PERFECTLY LOCATED STYLISH VILLA ENJOYING A SPECTACULAR SEA VIEW 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL •CAR HIRE •AIR CONDITIONING

Spartohori, perched high above Spilia Bay has the most spectacular views across the sea to the mountains of Lefkada. The village was deliberately located here as the perfect shelter from pirates who once terrorized the local population. Completely land locked, the narrow entrance, with its high promontory is almost invisible from the sea and easily defended. Yet from this perfect vantage point, the locals could see approaching pirate ships for miles and warn the local population. A few hundred years on a more peaceful type of marine visitor is attracted to this enchanting inlet of Spilia Bay. The picturesque settlement of a few tavernas and beautiful crystal clear beach is a popular anchorage for yacht men. What hasn’t changed over the centuries is this idyllic location.

MEGANISI

Villa Elizabeth is set within its own grounds taking full advantage of the spectacular sea view.

Through the clever use of design and concern to protect the foliage, maximum privacy has been maintained. The villa is built on two levels and has 3 bedrooms each with en-suite facilities.

The ground floor has a generous open plan living-dining room with a fully equipped kitchen and a double bedroom with en suite. Large French windows and patio doors lead out onto the front of the house to take full advantage of the stunning panoramic vista. In front of the villa is a spacious sun terrace and a built in BBQ to the side. The terrace and the pool blending cleverly into the natural environment. Two twin rooms, both with en suite, are on the upper level.

The location of Villa Elizabeth could hardly be improved. A short windy road leads onto the main road that climbs up from both Vathi and Spilia Bay to the spectacularly sited old town of Spartohori with its cobbled alleyways, good choice of tavernas. Both the village of Katomeri and Vathi the capital are only a short distance away. For the energetic there is a labyrinth of traditional kaldermia, or mule tracks, where you can reach several beaches and hill top settlements on this beautiful island. www.ionianislandholidays.com

SPARTOCHORI

VILLA NATALIA 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING

Spartohori, located high above Spilia Bay, with spectacular views across to the mountains of Lefkada was once a sanctuary from the pirates who plagued the Ionian Sea. Nowadays only yachts and fishing boats pass peacefully through the narrow entrance to the Bay with its pretty waterfront tavernas and delightful beach.

Like the village, the Villa Natalia has outstanding views, framed by trees ensuring privacy.

The house has been designed so that the view can be equally appreciated inside or out. The pool on its spacious terrace surrounded by greenery is truly an extra outside room, completed by the barbecue to the side.

Meganisi is the perfect island for getting lost, in the sense of losing all those trappings of a busy world. Old mule trails wind through olive groves, some leading down to quiet beaches, others suddenly opening out onto a hilltop where the trees give way to fields enclosed by drystone walls with the islands of the Inner Ionian Sea at ones feet. The main road from Vathi and Spilia to Spartohori is not exactly a major highway, with all the associated traffic and petrol fumes, but can be subject to delays depending on how much time the goats spend browsing on the verges!

The village of Spartohori with its cobbled lanes and tavernas tucked away in secluded alleys is a short distance away from the villa, whilst Vathi and Katomeri the other main settlements on the island are within a few minutes’ drive.

Whilst walking is a delight on Meganisi, its spectacular west coast cliffs, pierced by natural arches and massive sea caves are best explored by taking a tour boat from Nidri on Lefkada, easily reached by ferry, and these boats usually circle round Skorpios Island, now owned by a Russian oligarch. Who cares when Villa Natalia is itself a private island free from the cares of a hectic world?

AN IONIAN ISLAND ON THE MAINLAND

PARGA

Parga

Imagine the Cote d’Azur without high rise hotels, tightly packed rows of millionaires’ yachts squeezed into glitzy marinas like so many floating caravans, traffic jams, crowds of people and you have a secret Greek Riviera that runs for 60 miles from the village of Sivota down to the mouth of the River Acheron, the legendary Styx, entrance to Hades. In fact, Epiros, although administratively and geographically part of the mainland has much more in common with the islands. The hills and mountains rising behind and the panorama of the Ionian Sea and islands in front, create an impression of being cut off from the mainland world.

The main village sits in a wide valley with tree clad hills on either side.

A road twists upwards from the roundabout, climbing a steep spur and just beyond, overlooking the lower reaches of the creek. A perfect base for a leisurely exploration of this fascinating region, either by sea or land. Seasonal ferries and caiques run to Corfu, Paxos and Anti Paxos or a motor boat can be hired to discover the innumerable little bays and islets in the vicinity. By car, the town of Ioannina, gateway to the Zagori and Pindos mountains, is less than an hour drive east through fascinating countryside on relatively traffic free and well surfaced roads.

Parga is justifiably referred to as the jewel of Mainland Greece. It is an incredibly beautiful town, and the most perfect place by the sea.

Picturesque and dramatic scenery enriched by a long and interesting history provide compelling reasons to thoroughly explore the area. There are very few destinations in Greece to compete with the diversity on offer in this region.

Side roads lead through fertile valleys to traditional villages, far removed from tourist development, where rush hour might consist more of donkeys than cars! One can even visit Hades from here! The Nekromantion of Ephyra, standing above the modern village of Mesopotamo southeast of Parga is the legendary site from where Charon rowed departed souls across the marshy lake of Acherousa to the Styx and Acheron rivers.

SALVATOR HOTEL, VILLAS & SPA BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND VILLAS • ROOMS SLEEP 2 – 5 • SWIMMING POOL • BREAKFAST • AIR CONDITIONING

With captivating views out over the village of Parga and Lichnos Bay, the fabulous 4 Salvator Hotel Villas & Spa takes full advantage of it’s superb elevated position in the hillsides of Kyperi.

The breathtaking panorama extends around this area of dramatic natural beauty, the turquoise azure coastline contrasts with verdant olive clad hillsides and dark mysterious mountains creating a perfect backdrop to this outstanding and unique boutique hotel.

Completed in 2010 to a high specification, this is a new venture for the Zigouris family who have been running hotels as a family business since 1884 when their first hotel, the renowned Acropol Hotel, was opened. The Salvator Hotel is made up of modern and stylish suites within the main building and four superb two bedroomed villas each with their own pool located above the main part of the hotel set within their own landscaped gardens.

The hotel was named after Archduke Ludwig Salvator, the famous explorer, who was also a keen lover of nature and preservation. The location is convenient for exploring the historic city of Ioannina, gateway to the magnificent Pindos and Zagori Ranges – this is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful parts of Greece. The Pindos Mountains, which appear to cut off this coast from the rest of the mainland, are well worth spending some time visiting – virtually untouched by the speed of modern living, these scattered agricultural communities in the green valleys offer a fascinating glimpse into a way of life that remains unchanged to this day.

Parga is justifiably referred to as the jewel of Mainland Greece. It is an incredibly beautiful town, and the most perfect place by the sea. Picturesque and dramatic scenery enriched by a long and interesting history provide compelling reasons to thoroughly explore the area.

There are very few destinations in Greece to compete with the diversity on offer in this region.

ANTI-PA XOS

If there is a paradise for olive trees then it must be Paxos, but one that is also shared with those seeking quiet relaxed holidays in beautiful surroundings free from mass tourism development.

Small it may be but Paxos has all the variety of much larger islands, such as the rugged grandeur of its Adriatic coast, the dappled shade and cool glades of its interior and the beaches and picturesque inlets along its east coast. It is a microcosm of all that is best in a Greek island, but on a scale that means it can be easily explored by car or on foot.

Its reputation as a romantic destination stretches as far back as Roman times: Anthony and Cleopatra apparently chose Paxos for a candlelit dinner a deux before the fateful Battle of Actium in 31BC, setting a precedent that discerning British visitors to the island have been happy to follow in more recent times.

There are only two main villages on the island, Gaios the capital, with its network of narrow streets and harbour sheltered by the picturesque islet of Agios Nikolaos, and quiet Loggos to the north, a fishing village where island life moves at a slower more relaxed pace.

Apart from the olives, the beaches of Paxos have rightly earned the accolades of those who have been fortunate enough to visit them.

The choice is wide, from popular stretches of sand where the active can enjoy various watersports and beachside kantinas to hidden small beaches tucked away at the back of tree-lined coves.

But Paxos is far more than just an idyllic holiday destination. Most of its inhabitants have lived and worked on the island for many generations, and tending their olives or vines, fishing along its shores still play a central role in the daily life of the island and the visitor is very much a part of that life.

Perhaps therein lies the reason why so many return to this “paradise” year after year.

DANIELLA’S HOUSE

HILLSIDE VILLA SITUATED AMONGST OLIVE TREES AND OAK WOODLAND WITH OUTSTANDING VIEWS OF GAIOS 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

In the past, life on a small Greek island revolved around the land, sea, and the seasons: on Paxos it still does with many families involved in fishing, farming and olive growing. In high summer the benefits of living up on the more shaded hillsides catching the breeze are considerable.

Nowadays visitors can also enjoy the cooler surroundings of the island’s wooded interior, and Daniella’s House is a fine example of a traditionally built, modern house with excellent amenities, in one of the most attractive hilltop settings on Paxos. The villa, surrounded by limestone walls and terraces, planted with lavender and other typically Mediterranean shrubs, has an outstanding view over the rooftops of the island’s picturesque capital and port, Gaios to the mountains beyond.

The villa stands on a broad terrace containing the swimming pool which extends right around the house, with a pool-side, shaded pergola and dining area whilst the interior layout has been designed so that the glorious view can be enjoyed as much from the inside as out.

The bedrooms are two doubles and one twin bedded rooms all en suite and are located on the same floor as the cool and very comfortable living and dining area with its fully fitted modern kitchen, many opening out onto the terrace.

PROPERTY INFORMATION

Accommodation 3 bedroom villa with private swimming pool • 2 double bedrooms with en suite • 1 twin bedroom with en suite • Private swimming pool: 9.5m x 6m (depth: 1m –1.4m) • Fully fitted kitchen with fridge freezer, full cooker, microwave and dishwasher • Open plan living/dining room with TV (limited channels), DVD & CD player • Barbecue • Air conditioning (bedrooms only) • Maid service and linen changes on arrivals day and midweek Closest amenities Restaurant(s): 3 mins drive (10 mins walk high season only) Beach: 7 mins drive Mini market: 4 mins walk (400m) Gaios: 5 mins drive

PAXOS

Beautifully situated, the villa is by no means remote. Gaios is only 7kms away, whilst the many beaches and sheltered bays on the east coast are all within easy driving distance. The village of Magazia, with its traditional taverna, bakery and shop is even closer, and provides a good starting point for walks along the rugged west coast with its rock arches and wild cliffs, and some of the most spectacular sunsets in the Ionian.

Deciding whether to spend lazy days by the pool soaking up the sunshine and that view or exploring further afield might be the most pressing demand of your holiday in the delightful Daniella!

PAVLO’S HOUSE THREE BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

Life moves at a leisurely pace on Paxos and why hurry when there’s a view to be enjoyed like the one from Pavlo’s House? At your feet the picturesque harbour of the island’s capital, Gaios, with the comings and goings of the yachts and caiques, the green of Agios Nikolaos Island and where the blue of sky and sea meet on the eastern horizon, the darker hills and mountains of Epiros shimmering on the heat haze. But Pavlo’s House is much more than a room, or rather rooms, with a view. Like all Ionian Island properties it is the attention to detail that makes this house an excellent choice for a family holiday.

Starting from the outside, which given the Paxos weather is where you may well spend much of your day, you can alternate between swimming in the delightful infinity pool, where the panorama is equally stunning at water level to relaxing on the private sun terrace. Built in the age-old island tradition out of the local limestone, the interior of the villa has been laid out in such a way that the view follows you inside. Each of the three bedrooms, the double master suite and two twin bedded rooms (naturally with their own en suite showers), opens out onto terraces, whilst the airy living/dining room with its well-equipped kitchen leads to a shaded terrace and once more on to that wonderful pool.

PROPERTY INFORMATION

Accommodation Three bedroom villa with private swimming pool • Swimming pool 10m x 5m (depth 0.8m – 1.40m) • 1 double and 2 twin bedrooms • All rooms have en suite shower rooms • Fully equipped kitchen with fridge freezer, full cooker, dishwasher, washing machine & microwave • Living and dining room: TV (limited channels), DVD and CD player • Air conditioning (bedrooms only) • Barbecue • Maid service on arrival day and midweek Closest amenities Restaurants: 10 mins walk downhill (Gaios) Beach: 2 mins drive/17 mins walk downhill Mini market & bakery: 10 mins walk downhill (Gaios)

You may even want to explore the island. Downtown Gaios, with its maze of narrow streets that lead to the harbour, is a short stroll away. Excellent bars and tavernas jostle for position with a surprisingly wide variety of shops. A few minutes’ drive along the coast will reveal a series of pristine pebble beaches, or you can head towards the sunset through the famous olive groves and discover the wild and spectacular cliffs of the West coast. Or why not take one of the many frequent caiques that will ferry you across to Paxo’s tiny neighbour Antipaxos and luxuriate on the soft white sand? There’s something for everyone on this exquisite island.

NB: This Villa is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties.

VILLAS ASTERI, HELIOS AND FEGARI

THREE ONE BEDROOM VILLAS EACH WITH THEIR OWN POOL OVERLOOKING GAIOS HARBOUR 3 ONE BEDROOM VILLAS • SLEEPS 2 – 3 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

We realize that not everyone who comes to Paxos requires a large property, but finding smaller villas to suit couples or small families often means that the swimming pools are shared – until now. These three relatively new one bedroom villas, enjoy an outstanding position overlooking the harbour village of Gaios and the picturesque wooded island of Agios Nikolaos, are not only perfectly proportioned for that intimate holiday for two but also have their own pools.

Each villa has a shaded verandah and patios on three sides for contemplating that view on a hot and lazy afternoon.

The open plan living room and double bedroom lead out onto the spacious verandah and that magnificent view. Villas Asteri and Helios have a comfortable single sofa bed in the living room, Villa Fegari has an additional single bedroom.

A short stroll leads you into Gaios which is the island’s capital and main port has an understated cosmopolitan atmosphere that sits comfortably with its traditional shops and tavernas lining the waterfront. As a base for further exploration of this fascinating island or for beach hopping, these villas couldn’t be better situated.

PAXOS

Many return to Paxos year after year as much for the island’s friendly and intimate atmosphere as for its undeniably beautiful interior and coastline and these three small villas reflect those unique characteristics. The villas are already a welcome addition to our collection of Paxos properties so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.

NB: These villas are on a staggered incline with Villa Fegari at the top, Helios in the middle and Asteri below. The villas are reached by a steep driveway with a number of steps up to Helios and Fegari and may not be suitable for people with walking difficulties.

VILLA GALLINI 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

It’s difficult to believe, when looking down on the jumbled red roofs of the village and harbour of Gaios, that this is an island capital and ferry port, just like Manhattan. Luckily the only resemblance to the latter may be in a cocktail offered at one of the waterfront bars!

Villa Gallini, despite being so close to the centre of island life has been built so that guests can enjoy the gentle art of pure relaxation in lovely surroundings. Whilst the view of wooded islands, blue sea and sky, and distant mountains may be far-reaching, the swimming pool, with its spacious sun terrace is definitely of the infinity variety!

Built using the local limestone the villa continues the long island tradition of building houses that complement their surroundings. The interior, has been thoughtfully laid out to ensure that the magnificent view can be equally appreciated indoors. There are two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both opening on to a verandah, a shower room and separate WC. A well-equipped kitchen leads into the living/dining room which again opens onto a shaded verandah and the swimming pool.

The whole island is easily accessible from the villa. The roads might be narrow but tailbacks of more than a couple of cars or an ancient tractor or two are unheard of, and unlike the M25 are more than likely to have been caused by a wayward goat! Pristine pebble coves, often fringed by overhanging cypresses can be found around every east coast headland, but an evening stroll along the wild and rocky western coast will usually be rewarded with one of the most spectacular sunsets in the Ionian.

Recommended for a family or a small group of friends, Villa Gallini is the ideal base for experiencing the unique Paxiot way of life.

NB: The villa is reached by a steep driveway.

VILLA KRISTINA

A WELL APPOINTED VILLA SET AMONGST OLIVE TREES IN THE QUIET INTERIOR OF THE ISLAND 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

Etymologists have argued over the centuries about the derivation of the island we know today as Paxos. They still do! Perhaps the most accurate theory to date is that it takes its name from “Pax” meaning peace. And of course the universal symbol for peace is the olive branch.

When one adds the fact that Paxos is above all the island of olives then logic as well as romance dictates that this is truly an Island of peace.

Certainly, the delightful Villa Kristina is worthy of the island’s name. Enjoying an idyllic courtyard setting surrounded by olive groves, this is Paxos at its best. Even the private swimming pool with its flagstone paving has its own venerable but vigorous olive tree shading one corner. The paving itself, known as “plaka” is another natural product of this fascinating small island. Another theory is that Paxos is actually derived from the old Greek word for these flagstones!

The interior of this two bedroomed villa with its living area opening out directly onto the terrace and pool is extremely comfortable and well appointed.

PAXOS

The island capital Gaios, set on a sheltered channel off the Inner Ionian Sea has every facility also only a short drive away are the many coves and picturesque bays waiting to be explored or the spectacular cliffs of the West coast famous for their rock architecture and magnificent sunsets.

The interior of Paxos is a maze of quiet lanes winding through abundant Olive groves making the island seem much bigger than it is. Despite its size Paxos is an island full of pleasant surprises. Nestled amongst olive trees, sitting beside its lovely pool and enjoying stunning views of the Ionian, the villas location is simply perfect. In fact you wouldn’t think this idyllic location is so close to the picturesque and bustling port of Gaios.

Inside the villa everything has been designed for comfort and relaxation. The open plan living room and well equipped kitchen leads out on to a spacious patio area with that magnificent view. There are 3 bedrooms, the larger master bedroom is to one side of the living room and has an en-suite bathroom, the other two bedrooms, sharing an additional bathroom are on the opposite side of the house making it ideal for two couples or families.

The large swimming pool and roomy terrace is located in the front taking full advantage of the view, complemented by a shaded area and built in rock barbeque essential for true Ionian al fresco dining. Evenings are particularly special here! As the view fades in the twilight, a warm breeze often rises from the sea and rustles through the trees; the lights of Gaios come on, soon to be eclipsed by the clear night sky above.

A short 20 minute stroll leads you into Gaios, which is the island’s capital and main port, it has an understated cosmopolitan and friendly atmosphere that sits comfortably with its traditional shops and tavernas all lining the waterfront. As a base for further exploration on this fascinating island Villa Bettie is ideal. We are certain that Villa Bettie will leave a lasting impression.

A LOVELY VILLA SET AMONGST THE OLIVE TREES WITH PLEASANT VIEWS AND WITHIN EASY REACH OF GAIOS 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

“The olive tree is surely the richest gift of heaven.” So said the third president of the United States and architect of its Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson over two hundred years ago. Villa Kiki didn’t exist then, but some of the olive trees surrounding this delightful retreat were already hundreds of years old, as are the lovely views across the picturesque Gaios. If Jefferson was right, (and he was – most of the time!) then this single storey house with its warm pantiled roof certainly makes the most of its ‘gifts from heaven.

For every sunny corner on the terraces surrounding the pool there is an olive tree providing welcome shade.

There are two air-conditioned bedrooms a double with en suite shower room and a twin bedroom with use of an additional shower and WC. Both bedrooms have patio doors opening onto the sea facing terrace, whilst the open plan living room, fully equipped kitchen and dining room also open onto the terrace. The swimming pool is only a few steps away, and, of course that essential for true Ionian al fresco dining, a built-in barbecue.

For centuries Loggos was a thriving fishing village and the port that served the hillside villages of Palos. The exquisite quaint harbour front would be a hive of activity with boats loading up with grain, olives, olive oil and locally produced wine. Nowadays, whilst the fishing boats are still present they share their moorings with visiting yachts and caciques carrying people not goods. In a charming way, Loggos is once again buzzing with activity but a different sort, having said that if you take a short stroll along the bay the pace of life becomes much slower.

Accommodation 1 bedroom waterfont apartment • Open-plan living room with TV (limited channels, DVD & CD player • Fully fitted kitchen with full oven, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher • Air conditioning in living area • Maid service and linen changes on arrivals day and midweek

There are many advantages of using Loggos as your holiday base such as the array of excellent tavernas, café-bars and shops right on your doorstep. The attractions of the bustling harbour, beautiful countryside and secluded coves are all within walking distance. Loggos has remained unspoilt with most of the original buildings dotted around the harbour dating back to more than 200 years ago when the Venetian’s ruled Palos.

Whilst the olive has to be the defining tree of Paxos, the cypress, pencil thin or wide and spreading lends texture and variety to the landscape, and there is a magnificent example beside this lovely villa framing the view across to the distant hills of the mainland.

The sea-facing terrace with its private swimming pool and shaded barbecue area combined with the setting is simply a magnificent extra outside room to a two-bedroomed villa that is comfortable and well-equipped.

Although secluded, the house is by no means isolated with three beautiful beaches just a few minutes’ drive away. Gaios the island capital with its colourful bustling waterfront and narrow alleyways, is only a little further. Supper on a taverna terrace high above the western cliffs watching the sun set into the Adriatic? Fresh fish for the barbecue? A boat trip to Paxos’s tiny neighbour, Antipaxos to snorkel in crystal clear waters? Or perhaps a quiet stroll along old paths to discover deserted villages and ancient hill-top churches? One of the joys of such a small but varied island as Paxos is that exploring is so easy, no long tedious journeys here!

Of course the alternative of relaxing at home by the pool on a sun lounger or absorbing the view from the comfort of an armchair on the shady patio is equally enticing.

VILLA ALEXANDROS

MODERN COMFORTABLE VILLA IN A SECLUDED LOCATION WITH FAR-REACHING SEA VIEWS 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

The famous olive trees of Paxos not only provide some of the most highly prized oil in Greece, they also frame the spectacular view from the Villa Alexandros. Recently built in the local style, the villa has all the modern amenities to complement its beautiful treetop setting.

The large terrace extends round two sides of the villa, with superb views from the swimming pool area, the barbecue and the spacious, part shaded front terrace across the trees to the Inner Ionian Sea. The interior of the villa with its wood-lined vault ceilings and cool well-furnished living/ dining room with dual aspect fully glazed doors and windows and a fully-fitted kitchen area is designed to complement the views. Both bedrooms, a twin and a double have air-conditioning and there is a separate bathroom with shower.

On Paxos you are never more than a few minutes’ drive from the coast and a wide choice of beaches. The wilder west side of the island with its high cliffs and spectacular rock formations is well worth exploring, especially in the cool of the evening to watch the sun set over Homer’s “wine dark sea”. Gaios, with its wide choice of tavernas, shops and waterfront life is a mere five minute drive down through the olives and cypress trees.

VILLA TAKITOS

A QUAINT BEAUTIFUL STONE-BUILT VILLA AMONGST THE OLIVE TREES WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE COAST 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

There’s an old Greek saying which sums up how best to pass the time whilst on holiday in Paxos: “hasten….but slowly!” Sound advice when there is so much to see and enjoy. For instance, whilst staying at the Villa Takitos you could run down and dive into the warm sea at Ballos Beach in under a minute, but better to take all of two minutes and stroll, or even go for the marathon and reach the oddly named Donkey’s Ears Beach in an interminable three minutes!

Villa Takitos is constructed in the traditional way from the warm Paxiot limestone and is surrounded by the ubiquitous olives that are the signature trees of the island. This gives the perfect setting for relaxation, yet the villa is only a five minute drive from the sheltered and very safe family beach next to Mongonissi Islet. A further two minutes drive along a quiet coastal road will get you to the island’s main port and picturesque harbour Gaios, with its wide choice of tavernas and shops. Time it right and the fishing boats will be in with the day’s catch, cleaned and ready for the evening barbecue back at the house.

ELAIA SUITES

BEAUTIFUL MODERN APARTMENT SUITES SET IN AN OLIVE GROVE NEAR GAIOS APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • SHARED SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING

Sadly many of the traditional island communities around the coasts of Europe were abandoned during the late part of the 19th Century. Idyllic locations and self-sufficient agriculture, combined with isolation were not enough to sustain their inhabitants as the Industrial Revolution swept through the continent. Paxos was no exception, and yet the deserted village of Germanichos near Gaios proves that with imagination and dedication, these old communities can be brought back to life.

Built in an established olive grove next to the abandoned village the Elaia Suites are a shining example of how low-key tourism can revitalize an area without losing any of its natural beauty.

The spacious well designed and furnished apartments and studios, each with its own shaded balcony or terrace look out onto a large pool area surrounded by mature olive trees. Paxos has always been an island of light and shade, sea and sky, and all these elements are preserved in these recently built apartments. Retaining walls and terraces have been built using the local stone and traditional techniques. Geraniums and other native flowers add colour and texture.

And of course the setting enjoys superb views across the water to the green island of Corfu and the mainland.

PAXOS

Gaios, the thriving little port and capital of the island is only 2 kms away with the nearest beach only half that distance. Paxos, despite or maybe because of its small size, is made for quiet discovery – rugged cliffs, secret coves, ancient churches and old meadows, in season filled with wild flowers and herbs are all close at hand.

The olive tree is the living symbol of Paxos. Elaia Suites combine the island’s ancient traditions and wonderful landscape with modern amenities and spacious well-designed accommodation.

The interior of Paxos is a maze of quiet lanes winding through the trees, making the island seem much bigger than it actually is. The Paxos Club Hotel, set in lovely mature gardens and surrounded by olive groves feels pleasantly remote. In fact it is barely a kilometre from the main port of Gaios, the dramatic cliffs and headlands of the west coast. At the heart of this delightful small hotel is an original Paxiot house built out of the sun-bleached limestone rock of the island. It is now used as a restaurant where breakfast can be enjoyed in the morning.

The accommodation blends attractively with the surroundings and the old house. Traditional from the outside, the interiors have been designed for comfort and convenience and include a comfortable lounge with satellite TV and internet facilities.

The pool area also has an unusual jacuzzi constructed on a little island, reached by a small bridge.

Adjacent and separated from the main pool by this bridge is also a children’s paddling pool.

The Paxos Club is perfectly situated for walking. Paths and quiet lanes lead out in all directions and a beach or fabulous picnic spot is never more than a 15 minute stroll away.

It is only a 15 minute stroll down into Gaios, with its wide choice of restaurants, shops, tavernas and its bustling harbour.

FANARIOTATIKA, NEAR GAIOS

GEORGINA’S HOUSE A RENOVATED TRADITIONAL PAXIOT HOUSE IN AN IDYLLIC, PEACEFUL SETTING 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING

The landscape of Paxos has hardly changed in centuries. The famous olive groves that cover most of the island are still largely tended by the descendants of the families who first planted them in Venetian times. Hidden amongst the trees is a scattering of small hamlets where many of the houses have been built from the original stones cleared from the land when the trees were first planted. Such a house is the Villa Georgina which has been sensitively restored to provide all the modern comforts without compromising its original features with the added benefit of a secluded and very private setting in the hamlet of Fanariotatika. Conventional measures of time and distance thankfully mean very little on Paxos but the villa is located close to Gaios village and the many east coast beaches; peace and quiet does not mean isolation here.

The terraces leading down to the swimming pool then on to further terraced gardens planted with many of the typical Mediterranean fruit trees. In the late spring and early summer any lack of fruit is more than compensated for by the scent of citrus blossom, whilst later in the year fresh oranges picked in the cool of the early morning add a new dimension to breakfast ‘al fresco’, a theme that is maintained by the barbecue and dining area on a side terrace.

It may be a small world on the island of Paxos, but within its few square miles there is more variety in the natural landscape than any of the larger Greek islands. From the rugged west coast cliffs, where the Adriatic has pounded the rocks into fantastic shapes, to the cool wooded interior with its traditional hamlets and ancient footpaths, the fishing and yachting ports of Loggos and Gaios and herb clad hillsides of the southwest corner near the yachtsmn’s haven and safe family beach of Mongonissi Islet, there is something for everyone. And the Kantada Villas, less than 50 metres from a delightful small beach, with views across the Inner Ionian Sea to the Epiros mainland are a perfect base for exploration as well as relaxation.

All the villas have a twin bedded and double bedroom with en suites in both, well equipped kitchens and the essential BBQ area for al fresco dining.

Paxos is a small island of just ten kilometres long and four kilometres wide, yet it has captivated many people over the years for its peacefulness, genuine friendliness, traditional way of life and sheer serenity. Very much unchanged and still under developed despite the presence of tourism for the last thirty years, it is not until you get into the hills do you discover what Paxos is all about, tradition and beauty.

This part of Paxos is a haven of peace with wonderful walks that cross through the olive groves guided by the dry stone walls. Nestled into the hillside close to Magazia and within a short drive to Gaios is Villa Ita.

One dictionary definition for the word dream reads, ‘something that somebody hopes or longs for, usually something difficult to attain or far removed from present.’ If that dream is a house set on a Greek island hillside surrounded by olives and overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the Inner Ionian Sea then far from being difficult to attain it can easily become a reality at the delightful Villa Oneiro on Paxos which translates as The House of Dreams!

Naturally this lovely holiday home comes with a broad paved terrace complete with swimming pool, a shady gazebo for al fresco dining and a BBQ close by, all designed to make the most of the view out across the water to the misty hills of the mainland.

PAXOS

The house itself is built using the two timeless elements of Paxos, wood and stone, has a spacious and comfortable interior. The open plan living and dining area combines the best of modern design and fittings with traditional features such as the dressed limestone fireplace and the wood lined ceiling. The theme is repeated in the three bedrooms, a double master suite with its own shower room and two twin bedded rooms with a separate family shower room.

PROPERTY INFORMATION

Accommodation 3 bedroom villa with private swimming pool • Private swimming pool 8m x 4m (depth 1.0m – 1.75m) • 1 double bedroom with en suite shower room • 2 twin bedrooms • Separate shower room • Open plan Kitchen/living/dining room with TV (limited channels), DVD & CD player, fridge/freezer, full cooker, dishwasher, microwave & washing machine • Barbecue • Air conditioning • Maid service and linen changes on arrivals day and midweek Closest amenities Restaurant(s): 5 mins drive (Loggos) Beach: 5-10 mins drive Mini market: 5 mins drive

Situated at the centre of the island, close to the old hamlet of Kagkatika, the villa is equidistant between the wild and unspoilt west coast famous for its dramatic cliffs and spectacular sunsets and the sheltered wooded bays and beaches of the east coast. Loggos, the smallest and possibly prettiest of the three main villages on the island with its quay-side tavernas and mini-markets is a short drive away. The village is also close to many quiet shingle beaches, where kayaks and boats can be hired to explore further afield. Ancient mule tracks and paths lead in all directions.

Getting lost in the cool of the early evening can be a delight, especially in the knowledge that nowhere on this small island is more than a few minutes from everywhere!

VILLA AGATHI 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

When past generations of Paxiots first cleared their land and planted the famous olive groves that clothe this small island did they instinctively know that one day the same houses they built out ofthe warm grey limestone rocks would become havens of peace and tranquility for visitors?

Villa Agathi in the tiny hamlet of Kangatika is one such house. Blending perfectly into its surroundings, obviously built to last for centuries, step inside and you find yourself in a beautifully renovated interior, with all the comfortable furnishings and modern fittings essential for truly relaxed holiday living. The open plan sitting room, dining area and well equipped kitchen is light and airy, creating a wonderful cool retreat on those Ionian summer afternoons, when only the cicadas seem busy. The master bedroom has its own en suite shower and there is an additional twin bedded room and separate family bathroom with shower.

Step outside onto the spacious terrace, walled on two sides, and enjoy a stunning view over olives and cypresses to the hills and mountains of the mainland shimmering in the sunshine.

Exploring the surroundings on foot in the cool shade of the olive trees is a wonderful experience, even in high summer, with countless goat tracks to follow, usually echoing to the sounds of the bells from the flocks higher up the hillsides. Walking down to the little fishing port of Loggos and Levrecchio Beach only takes approx twenty five minutes, and with some careful negotiation you might even persuade one of your party to drive down and meet you in a taverna on the seafront, offering a cool beer or frappe in return for a lift back home!

PANGOLAS LOGGOS APARTMENTS

BEAUTIFULLY SITUATED ONE-BEDROOMED APARTMENTS ON A WOODED HILLSIDE ABOVE THE CHARMING FISHING VILLAGE OF LOGGOS APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 3 • SHARED SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING

Poseidon, tired from creating storm and strife at sea, needed a romantic retreat for himself and his beloved Amphriditi. With one blow from his trident Paxos was created and its reputation for both romance and tranquility has lasted long after the age of myth gave way to the age of man.

In fact some believe that the island’s name derives from the Roman word for peace, Pax. Whatever the origins of the island or its name, the charming tiny fishing village of Loggos on the sheltered northeast coast epitomizes the quiet beauty of this small island, and for that romantic getaway or a restful holiday in delightful surroundings the Pangolas Apartments are hard to beat. Surrounded by the famous olive groves and woods of oak and cypress trees, on a quiet hillside overlooking the harbour with views across the inner Ionian Sea to the hills of the mainland, the apartments are only a five minute stroll from the waterfront tavernas and mini markets of Loggos, with three or four lovely beaches within easy walking distance.

Comfortably furnished each one bedroomed apartment has its own terrace or balcony. For those lazy, relaxing days there is a good size shared pool and sun terrace, but for those wishing to explore on foot a network of paths and trails, some centuries’ old criss cross the island, whilst the rest of this fascinating island, including the main port of Gaios is only a short drive away on quiet country roads.

PAXOS

Poseidon chose well and for a relaxed romantic break for couples the Pangolas Apartments are highly recommended.

SOUSTA APARTMENTS TWO 1 BEDROOM MAISONETTES • SLEEPS 2 • SHARED SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING

Loggos, tucked into a sheltered bay on the east coast of Paxos epitomizes all that makes this small island so attractive to the discerning visitor. Olive groves and cypress woods cover the hillsides above the village with its harbour and cluster of tavernas and houses.

The Sousta maisonettes are a fine example of the way even recently built buildings have maintained this attractive traditional theme by the careful use of the warm textured local limestone rock, courtyards and gardens filled with bougainvillea, oleander and, of course, shaded by venerable olive trees. The interiors, whilst still remaining within the local tradition are comfortably furnished and well-equipped, with balconies overlooking the paved courtyard and shared swimming pool enjoying views across the Inner Ionian Sea to the mainland mountains.

It’s a mere three minute stroll to Loggos and its mini-markets and quayside tavernas, whilst the nearest beach is just 150 metres away, with many others easily accessible. Whilst the coast with its sheltered bays, beaches and dramatic western seaboard scenery is justifiably famous, the wooded interior is equally delightful.

Few would argue that a holiday on Paxos can be the perfect way to recharge the batteries or to escape from the demands of a busy world, but if a further boost is required then perhaps a visit to the Zoodochos Pigi church in Loggos with its frescoes from another age and its fountain might be in order. The name means Fountain of Life and will undoubtedly put a spring in your step for the short journey back to the delightful Sousta Maisonettes!

Corfu or Kerkyra, Zeus’s scythe, or more romantically the beautiful daughter of a river god, owes its undoubted beauty to nature not to legend.

This is the garden isle of the Ionian.

Unlike many Greek islands, Corfu owes its lush and varied landscape to the presence of fresh water and its mild winters. Popular with artists and writers for over five hundred years, Shakespeare himself is said to have stayed on the island and it inspired The Tempest, nowadays it fully deserves its growing reputation as one of the Mediterranean’s finest holiday destinations. Certainly there is romantic quality in its many secret corners and hidden bays, particularly on its unspoilt northeast coast.

There are busy resorts, mainly in the south of the island, along with the usual tourist attractions, but these can make a fun-filled day’s diversion for any children. Our properties are situated along the northeast coast, where the pace of Corfiot life is much slower in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Tree-clad mountain slopes, wooded bays with delightful

beaches, small traditional fishing villages and above all the warm waters of the Ionian Sea, all make for an outstanding holiday.

Corfu Town itself, the centre of the history and culture of the island is an eclectic mix of old and new.

Castles, ancient ruins, gracious mansions, narrow streets and wide plateias, even that most British of features, a cricket ground are clustered round a sheltered harbour.

Once through the outskirts, the real Corfu begins. Farming and horticulture dominate the landscape, with sleepy villages tucked into the folds of the hills, dominated in the North by the impressive Mt Pantokrator, the island’s highest peak.

Many have taken a lifetime to discover the secrets of this beautiful island, but the experience of just a week or a fortnight will easily last a lifetime.

ROMANTIC RETREAT FOR COUPLES WITH SPECTACULAR SEA VIEWS 1 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 3 •PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN THE BEDROOM

Corfu, perhaps more than any other in the Ionian, is an island of contrasts. It is hard to believe that the unspoilt Agios Stefanos is just a few miles away from the bustling resort of Kassiopi, or that the mysterious brown hills of Albania are only a few miles across the strait from the lovely pine woods and olives that surround this romantic little villa.

Situated close to Villa Eleni, Relis is reached by a track that passes the village school, the house is backed by a shady olive grove and set in its own gardens overlooking the wooded slopes leading down to the sea with wonderful views. The location is truly outstanding and the accommodation complements it perfectly.

The swimming pool and terrace offer ample space to relax making this unique one bedroom cottage the perfect romantic retreat for a couple. The front door opens onto the open plan lounge/dining room with a balcony and fully fitted kitchen. On the same level there is a separate bathroom and an air-conditioned double bedroom, which opens onto the balcony with those spectacular views.

Although just a minute or two off the coastal road, the villa feels wonderfully isolated. A network of old paths and lanes surrounding the house provide an opportunity for leisurely exploration.

Slightly further afield the spectacular Mount Pantokrator with its unspoilt mountain villages and wonderful trails is easily reached by car, whilst cosmopolitan Corfu Town with its maze of old streets and ancient castles is certainly worth a visit.

The tiny harbour of Agios Stefanos is one of Corfu’s hidden gems.

CENTRALLY LOCATED VILLA WITH FAR-REACHING VIEWS 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING

Perhaps the Gods regretted their violent mythical creation of Corfu and made amends by granting it not only that essential Greek element of sunshine, but also an abundant water supply giving the island its lush vegetation and wonderful woodland. A Corfiot tree, whether olive or oak is allowed to grow untouched by the saw, the result is not only natural air conditioning at the height of summer, but a sense of calm and seclusion in many of the small hamlets set back from the main highway.

Set in a verdant glade above the main road that runs along Corfu’s magnificent northeast coast, the villa is perched between mountain and sea, with far reaching views across to the Greek and Albanian mainland. Secluded, certainly, but far from isolated, for the charming, unspoilt fishing village of Agios Stefanos is a mere 4kms away, along with a choice of superb coves and beaches.

CORFU

The interior complements the setting, carefully designed to incorporate the best of modern and traditional fittings and furniture. The main living area is located on the first floor, maximizing the superb view. The living/dining area is large and comfortable with fireplace, fully fitted kitchen and a cloakroom. Outside steps lead down to the swimming pool and barbecue area.

Downstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, a double master suite and a twin bedded room (one with en suite shower) plus a third twin bedded room with adjacent shower. The swimming pool and barbecue area has a shaded seating area, surrounded by flowering shrubs framing that all important view.

Nissaki

NEAR NISSAKI

VILLA GEORGINA 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE

One of the many settlements in the northwest of Corfu that exudes a truly traditional Greek atmosphere is the coastal village of Nissaki. Nissaki means ‘little island’ and many years ago it was exactly that. Here a small horseshoe shaped beach of fine pebbles offers a taste of history, as you can imagine the local settlers working to shape stones and rocks to build the first homes that form the picturesque village. The chippings off these stones fell into the sea and over time, formed the connection between Nissaki and the main island of Corfu to provide the peninsula and beach you find today.

Nissaki is home to tavernas and houses that are scattered through the tree lined slopes leading up to Mount Pantokrator. The beach offers excellent swimming and on the occasional evening a boat trip to enjoy dinner at the nearby tavernas of Agni beach.

High above Nissaki beach and the many ‘deserted’ little coves that are just waiting to be explored sits Villa Georgina and the neighbouring Villa Katina. These villas, nestled amongst the lush vibrant landscape are ideal for a relaxing holiday with fantastic views.

Corfu is an island of pleasant surprises and Bolana Bay at its north east corner is one of them.

Approaching from the south, a quiet country road winds its way down through olive groves, the sea still out of sight, you can glimpse the brown hills of Albania through the branches, seemingly close enough to touch. Then the trees can give way to more open slopes of old vine terraces now reclaimed by myrtle and broom; one last bend and there is a crescent of bright shingle and blue water, perhaps a sail or two bending to the breeze.

Five minutes’ walk from Coyevinas beach and set in its own wonderfully mature gardens on a slight rise is where Villa Lofos can be found. This lovely three bedroom villa offers cool spacious interiors blending contemporary fittings and furniture with the traditional Greek style and elegance. With large picture windows, the beautiful gardens become that extra room, which is the hallmark of good design.

Our Greek owners have a special relationship with their properties that goes far deeper than just bricks and mortar. Often the land, whether olive grove vineyard or orchard, on which they build a new villa or renovate an old cottage has been in the same family since Venetian times.

Votana, a traditional Corfiot cottage, set amongst oleanders, olives and cypress trees is just such a property. The garden, fenced for privacy, surrounds the swimming pool and is well tended and equally meticulous care is lavished on the interior of the villa. Simplicity, comfort and ease of living are the keynotes here, with furnishings chosen to reflect the modern Corfiot style.

CORFU

The villa is not only close to all the amenities of Kassiopi, a popular resort that has not lost it’s traditional Corfiot character, but also provides an excellent base for exploring the mountains and hills that rise up behind the property.

Built into the hillside, with olive orchards on each side, nothing obstructs the glorious view down to the sea framed by Corfu Town on its guardian headland to the south and the dramatic empty hills of Albania across the channel to the east.

Accommodation 3 bedroom villa with private swimming pool • 1 double and 2 twin bedrooms • Private swimming pool: 11m x 4m (depth 1m x 2.5m) • Separate bathroom • Separate shower room • Open plan kitchen/living/dining room with TV (limited channels), CD & DVD player, fridge/freezer, full cooker, microwave, small dishwasher, washing machine • Barbecue • Air conditioning • Maid service and linen changes on arrivals day and midweek •WiFi internet access

To explore every one of Corfu’s innumerable beaches would need a lifetime. They range from wide open stretches of sand with all the latest resort amenities to tiny patch of shingle, hidden at the back of rocky coves, accessible only by boat, but perhaps the island’s best coastal features are to be found in the many smaller bays and inlets of the east coast. Many are quiet and uncrowded backed by a few houses and a couple of tavernas. Kaminaki, a few hundred metres below the Villa Fantasia is just such a beach, but there are many more to be discovered.

The villa is very well appointed with a spacious open plan lounge, fully fitted kitchen. There is air conditioning in all three bedrooms, two twins and a double master bedroom with French windows opening onto the pool terrace. A bathroom and separate shower room complete the accommodation.

VILLA KATINA 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

The north east corner of Corfu is a green blanket of cypress trees and olive groves, with villages, hamlets and other small settlements dotted around. This area is what gives the island its ‘Greekness’ a typically Ionian Island feel, only found on the eastern side of Greece. One of the first villages on this stretch of coastline is Nissaki.

Nissaki means ‘little Island’ and hundreds of years ago that is exactly what it was. In years past, the local people worked on this island shaping stones and local rocks to be used for building.

After many years, with the chippings falling into the sea which eventually joined the island to Corfu, forming a horseshoe beach. Nissaki is a small quiet coastal village with three tavernas and houses that stretch upwards amongst the tree lined slopes of Mount Pantokrator. This is where we have found four wonderful houses, Villa Katina, Georgina, Helena and Antigone, high above Nissaki and with views to match their grand elevated position.

Villa Katina is a fantastic two bedroom villa with splendid terraces and gardens that blend in with the lush vibrant landscape. The villa is approached up the hillside from the main coastal road and as you wind around towards the villa you suddenly become aware of the elevated position as you glimpse the stunning coastline of Corfu stretching south.

This comfortable villa consists of two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both with access to a balcony with sea views. A living room leads down to a wonderfully secluded circular terrace giving fantastic panoramic views along the coastline and across to Albania. The private swimming pool sun terrace to the side of the villa has totally unobstructed views that emphasise the beauty of Corfu’s landscape, with further views across the sea to the mainland, Corfu Town is also visible from here. The nearest tavernas and mini markets are just three minutes’ drive downhill, while the tavernas and lovely beach of Nissaki are only five minutes’ drive away.

The north east coast of Corfu is dotted with picturesque small bays and inlets, each one with its own small fishing harbour and cluster of houses and tavernas. Amongst these is the delightful Agios Stefanos, a village that has remained largely unchanged over centuries, surrounded by small beaches of pebbles with some of the clearest waters, backed by cypress and olive trees.

An excellent base for exploring the coastline in the immediate area, by sea or land, as well as the fascinating interior of Mount Pantokrator massif.

ELSA’S LIMANI HOUSE APARTMENTS • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS • CAR HIRE (OR TRANSFER OPTION)

Winding down the hillside from the main coastal road you reach the beautiful bay of Agios Stefanos, relatively unchanged for the last 20 years when tourism first hit the island of Corfu.

Agios Stefanos is one of the prettiest and most peaceful fishing villages on the island and is considered the gem of north eastern Corfu with a few tavernas, coffee bars, mini markets and yachts stretching across the front of the horseshoe bay looking towards the sea. There are two beaches for swimming at either side of the bay, one just past the motor boat jetty and the other below the eucalyptus and cypress trees on the opposite side, both shingle with superb clear waters, perfect for snorkelling. A thirty minute walk over the headland will take you to the quiet beach of Kerasia and its sole taverna and fantastic swimming.

Nestled in the heart of the harbour is Elsa’s Limani House. Literally translated ‘limani’ means harbour which couldn’t be a more appropriate choice considering the house’s proximity to the sea.

The house is split over two floors into two well equipped apartments. Both the upper and lower floors are comfortably furnished and identical inside each with two bedrooms, a double bedroom at the front of the apartment and a twin at the rear. There are two bathrooms, one with a half bath and one with a shower. The open plan living room/kitchen are at the centre of the apartment and lead out onto an excellent terrace. The upper front bedroom leads out onto a shaded balcony, which looks towards the harbour entrance and the rising sun in the morning.

The building is surrounded by a stone flagged terrace, enhancing the feeling of space but with privacy from the external wall. There is also a barbecue for the use of both apartments.

AGIOS STEFANOS

APARTMENT FOTINI

A COMFORTABLE GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT, JUST A STONE’S THROW FROM THE WATERFRONT ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT • SLEEPS 2 • AIR CONDITIONING

The English name Stephen is derived from the Greek for crown and the small fishing settlement of Agios Stephanos, tucked into the head of a sheltered bay under the eastern slopes of Mt Pantokratos is a jewel in Corfu’s crown. Legend has it that the Saint once saved a Corfu fishing village from a particularly violent pirate attack by turning their ship to stone, so it’s no wonder that he is one of the more popular saints of the island with at least two villages named in his honour. The village still retains much of its traditional character, although the pirates are long gone, replaced by visiting yachts, the village retains much of its traditional character with its narrow streets and alleyways.

Apartment Fotini is on the edge of the village, close to the harbour and the beach with its shops and tavernas. Approached through a vine-covered archway off a quiet lane this one bedroomed ground-floor apartment combines the atmosphere of the old with simple, but very comfortable accommodation. There is a one bedroom apartment with master double and a small single room, a living/dining area with small kitchen and a shower room. A vine-covered verandah with table and chairs provides welcome shade during the heat of the day or for eating alfresco.

The apartment is air-conditioned.

Exploring the old alleyways of Agios Stephanos, to end up on the quayside with its tavernas and shops is an excellent way of passing the time, but the village is also conveniently located for discovering the mountains and beaches of northern Corfu, much the quietest and least developed region on the island.

Despite its turbulent past Agios Stephanos today retains all the traditional character of a Corfiot fishing village and this comfortable apartment provides an excellent base for a quiet and relaxing holiday in historic surroundings.

APARTMENT FAYE TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • AIR CONDITIONING • CAR HIRE

Agios Stefanos is one of Corfu’s unspoilt gems, a cluster of traditional houses set on a picturesque, sheltered bay and harbour, where brightly painted fishing boats and sleek modern yachts are moored alongside each other on the quay. It is a friendly village, where locals and visitors alike mingle in the narrow streets and waterside bars.

Apartment Faye is situated right in the heart of the community, a few moments’ stroll from the harbour and the beach with its shops and tavernas. Greeks love their balconies and for good reason as these little outside rooms like this one perched above the narrow street, catch the breeze off sea or mountain and provide that perfect viewpoint from which to watch the comings and goings of daily village life.

Occupying the second floor, Faye has balconies on both sides of the apartment, either overlooking the quiet lane below and to the side, across ochre pantiled roofs with the bay beyond, or at the rear of the house lovely mountain views.

Approached up a quiet lane through a vine-covered archway the apartment consists of an open plan, fully fitted kitchen. Two balcony doors lead from this area to a quiet, back balcony.There are two bedrooms, a double and twin-bedded room, sharing a balcony with side views to the sea.

There is a fully fitted bathroom with overhead shower, wash basin and WC and an additional separate shower room with WC. The beach with sunbeds and umbrellas is literally moments away, but the wonderful quiet beaches at Kerasia and Aviaki are also within easy reach.

Agios Stefanos and the Faye Apartment are a winning combination for a family or two couples looking for a quiet holiday in unspoilt surroundings: a perfect place to stop and let the world go by, but with all of Corfu with its variety of landscape, history, holiday activities within easy reach.

There is much more to Skiathos than its 68 superb beaches, many of them with the coveted blue flags, its watersport facilities and nightlife.

The west coast and the interior are remarkably unspoilt and will appeal to those who love the wild and empty spaces. A network of paths and tracks crisscross this landscape, giving access to the rugged coast with dramatic views across to the mountains of the Pelion Peninsula.

Farming and horticulture are still the main occupation here, orchards and fields bounded by pine woods with a scattering of small traditional cottages.

By contrast, Skiathos Town, has managed to combine its development as a tourist centre and busy port with maintaining its original character of narrow alleyways, old churches and Venetian houses. The town comes alive at night , fortunately with none of the brashness of other Mediterranean resorts. Skiathos is a family friendly island that has succeeded in providing all the amenities of a popular holiday destination as well as unspoilt space for relaxing in quiet unspoilt surroundings.

The island is part of the Sporades and because it is one of the main entry points to the region, exploring neighbouring Skopelos and Alonissos as well as the many, smaller and uninhabited islands by tour boat or inter-island ferry is simple. Much of the coastal waters around these islands have been declared as Marine Reserves, and regular boat expeditions leave Skiathos Town to explore the wild life above and beneath the waves.

There’s never a dull moment on Skiathos but plenty of opportunity for that essential component of a Greek island holiday, relaxation in glorious surroundings!

Skiathos is without doubt the beach capital of the Sporades Islands, and you might need more than a week or two to visit all sixty-eight of them.

Steps lead down straight from the house to a jetty and small private beach. Comfortable, spacious and perfect for families, all the attractions of this varied small island are within easy reach.

On Skiathos, small is certainly beautiful – and varied. Quite apart from its magnificent beaches, the interior of the island offers a wealth of walks from gentle evening strolls to a quiet taverna to longer expeditions exploring the fascinating and largely undeveloped countryside. Exploration on (and under!) the water is easily accomplished. Regular ferries connect Skiathos with the other main islands of the Sporades, Skopelos and Alonnisos, both different in character.

Boat hire, snorkeling, and for those with more energy, waterskiing and windsurfing are also readily available.

Skiathos is deservedly the most popular of the Sporades Islands because, despite its relatively small size, there is something for every one here. Popular beaches, with a wide choice of watersports, a bustling ferryport and main town, and an interior little changed over the centuries.

Villa Ekavi, situated in an enviable position on a hillside with Vassilias Bay and the Skiathos Town spread out below makes a comfortable and spacious base for discovering the delights of this jewel of an island.

With its four bedrooms the house will happily accommodate the larger family or a group of friends, and of course quiet relaxation beside the private swimming pool whilst the rest of the family troop off on more energetic pursuits is a attractive option!

With over sixty beaches to choose from, one is most definitely spoilt for choice on Skiathos, but there is much else to see and do. Regular ferries run between the three main islands, exploring the coast and interior on foot along traffic-free lanes and ancient paths, exploring the narrow alleyways and traditional shops of the old quarter of Skiathos Town, or watching the world go by on the busy waterfront, all these add to the pleasures of a holiday on this fascinating island.

The island’s eponymous capital is a bustling small port and harbour on a spectacular bay, with a maze of narrow paved streets, the ruins of a Venetian fortress and nearly 125 old churches with over 360 churches in total. Rural Skopelos reveals itself in scattered hamlets of stone built houses with distinctive silvery grey slated roofs surrounded by woods and orchards to rival any in Greece.

The unbroken pine forests and olive groves that stretch along a major part of the west coast are one of the island’s crowning glories. The magical drive to the other main village, Glossa on the north west tip of Skopelos, passes through this forest. The island has a Tel. 020 8459 0777

number of beaches, mostly quiet, like the kilometre stretch of tiny white pebbles at Milia, where the pines grow right down to the shore, or the fine sand of Limnonari.

Eating out on Skopelos with fresh local produce, imaginative cooking and friendly service is highly recommended. Fish tavernas in spectacular locations and ‘ouzeries’ serving local ‘meze’ are a speciality of the area as is the Skopelos Cheese Pie! Walking on the island is possible much later into the peak summer months than on other islands, due to the shaded nature of many of the paths and plentiful springs and fountains. With no water shortage, a deep cool bath or long refreshing shower after a walk or beach session is not the over indulgence here that it might be on other drier islands! After all that, heaven might just be a slice of Skopelos cheese and vegetable pie straight out of the oven, fresh local plums (or even the delicious prunes!) and a glass of ice cold Retsina beneath an ancient pine with the sparkling Aegean beyond!

The Island of Reefs, so named because of its many offshore islets and rocks, could equally be called the ‘Green Island’ because of its spectacular craggy coastline fringed by the pine trees that are one of the island’s defining features. Where the pine forests end, the olive groves begin and where they end the orchards begin!

Virtually every fruit tree can be found on Skopelos, although plums are an island speciality.

However, if a car is desired our agents based in Skopelos Town will be happy to organise one for you as well as boat tours to Alonissos and around the island’s beaches, including the smaller islands of the Marine Park. Skopelos Village is a delightful haven within walking distance to the harbour front.

Mt Palouki is not only one of the most sacred in the Sporades Islands which is the site of three ancient monasteries, it also protects the natural harbour of Skopelos Town. Palouki, meaning pencil in Greek, perhaps due to its profile, narrowing to a sharp point and a string of outer islands, is criss-crossed by ancient trails connecting the three monasteries higher up the slope and a stroll along any of these in the cool of the evening just as the lights come on far below and the sun has dipped behind the hills of the interior is a memorable experience.

Villa Aetoma, is undoubtedly one of the best situated properties on Skopelos.

VILLA NEFELI

THIS STUNNING VILLA, SET IN THE HILLSIDE ENJOYS A ENVIABLE LOCATION ABOVE SKOPELOS TOWN 3 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 6 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS • CAR HIRE

The elevated position of the beautiful Villa Nefeli takes full advantage of the most amazing landscape towards the old and new villages of Skopelos, one can’t help but marvel at the sight before you. As you enter the spacious open plan interior of this imposing villa, it is evident that much thought and care has been taken in its design. The whole house is cool and comfortable; calming colour schemes combined with traditional features are a gentle reminder that you are in a unique part of the Aegean.

SKOPELOS

The fully equipped kitchen joins the dining area but it is without doubt that most of your meals will be enjoyed outdoors on the shaded terrace. There is a double bedroom on the ground floor with French doors leading out onto the sunny patio and pool area. This is also where the main bathroom facilities are located. From the ground floor, stairs lead up to a further two bedrooms, one double and one twin. French doors take you out onto a shared verandah with the most spectacular panoramic views of this most beautiful part of the Sporades and out over the stunning Aegean sea.

Outside the view is undoubtedly the dominant feature and it is with this in mind that the gardens have been landscaped and terraced to not only blend in with the verdant surroundings but to maximise your enjoyment of the area. The pool enjoys magnificent views out over rural villages with majestic mountains in the distance. The most popular beach is Stafylos, which is approximately 15 minutes away by car. Around the hillsides are many donkey trails, fabulous for exploring the local nature and enjoying a gentle ramble in the most beautiful setting.

This Villa is certainly ideal for families and groups but equally suitable for a lovely retreat so much so you may not want to leave!

PANORMAS

VILLA SKALOPATI

A MODERN AND COMFORTABLE VILLA IN AN OUTSTANDING LOCATION ABOVE BEAUTIFUL PANORMOS BAY 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING

Viewed from hills above, Panormos Bay with its crescent of white pebbles separating green forest and the translucent blues of the sea, is one of the most beautiful coves in the Sporades.

What better place then to enjoy the superb view than Villa Skalopati set in the hillside above the cluster of houses and shops behind the beach that is Panormos village. The villa enjoys total privacy with no other buildings overlooking it on either side. Trees behind, the Aegean in front, dotted with islands stretching as far as Evia in the distance, and all within a few hundred metres of the village. Seclusion doesn’t often come with this much convenience!

SKOPELOS

A lot of thought has gone into the design of the interior. The open plan ground floor has a well equipped kitchen and dining/living room, cool yet welcoming, with polished wooden floors and corner fireplace. The tiled shower and toilet lead off this room. A large picture window beside the glass patio doors ensures that the incredible view can be enjoyed from inside the house.

A handcrafted stairway leads to the two bedrooms upstairs. A double and a twin, with exposed beams and wooden ceilings and a separate toilet with wash basin The large landing could accommodate another bed if necessary. The patio doors open out onto a shaded verandah and dining area with the swimming pool just a few steps further on set into the tiled terrace with sun loungers.

Panormos Beach becomes more crowded as the day progresses and tour boats and caiques arrive from other islands. The village has a wide choice of bars and tavernas and naturally that ubiquitous Greek institution, the mini-market stocking the required supplies. Quieter beaches can be found a short drive along the coast in either direction. Villa Skalopati is equally well placed for exploring the fertile and unspoilt interior of the island.

NEAR GLOSSA

VILLA PLAKA

PERFECTLY POSITIONED VILLA, EXQUISITE VIEWS IN A MOST GLORIOUS SETTING 2 BEDROOM VILLA • SLEEPS 2 – 4 • PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL • CAR HIRE • AIR CONDITIONING IN BEDROOMS

Created from one of the shards of rock flung into the sea when Zeus’s thunderbolts shattered Mount Olympus during his epic battle against the Titans, Skopelos today seems a far cry from its tempestuous mythological creation, and Palio Klima is one of its most delightful small settlements. Not that the village has since escaped entirely from the wrath of the gods, as it was destroyed in more recent times by an earthquake but has been carefully restored and still retains much of its traditional charm, with the added bonus of enjoying perhaps the best sunsets on the island.

To sit on the front terrace of this lovely villa late in the evening and watch as first the islands of Evia, Skiathos and then the distant mountains of the Pelion turn from gold to black, as the sky fills with fire above the “wine dark sea” is one of the great Greek experiences, and even better, one that is replayed virtually every night!

SKOPELOS

However, Villa Plaka is far more than just a viewpoint for a glorious sunset. Backed by the famous pine forests of Skopelos and with a daytime view that is equally magnificent and includes the picturesque harbour of Loutraki and the unspoilt hill village of Glossa, the villa is not at all remote. With a marvelous sense of space created by the surroundings, the spacious terracing and private pool complement this unique house. Villa Plaka is traditionally furnished and has two bedrooms, one double and a twin, with shared family bathroom and an additional WC off the open plan living/kitchen area.

PROPERTY INFORMATION What’s included Flights, accommodation, transfers, car hire, welcome pack Accommodation 2 bedroom villa with private swimming pool • 1 double and 1 twin bedroom • Private swimming pool: 7m x 3.25m (depth 1.1m – 1.7m) • Main bathroom with shower • Additional WC off kitchen/living room • Open plan living/dining room with TV (limited channels), DVD & CD player • Kitchenette with mini cooker, fridge/freezer & microwave, breakfast bar • Kitchenette with mini cooker, fridge/freezer • Washing machine • Maid service and linen changes on arrivals day and midweek Closest amenities Restaurant(s): 10 minutes drive Beach: 8 minutes drive Mini market: 10 minutes drive

Ditropon, is a typical Skopelos rural settlement set amongst the fields and orchards that have been farmed by the same families for generations. Its location means that the fabulous beaches at Panormos and Milia are only a short drive away. By contrast the dramatic West coast of the island is also easily reached. Here goats graze on the wild thyme and rosemary, amidst rugged cliff scenery.

Skopelos Town and historic Glossa with their wider selection of shops and restaurants are only 20 minutes’ away in the car, but you may find it hard to drag yourself away from this delightful villa and view!

ALONISSOS THE UNSPOILT AEGEAN HAVEN WE ALL DREAM OF...

ALONISSOS

The voyage to Alonissos is a minicruise in its own right, passing small islands and spectacular cliffs. It’s the perfect way to prepare for your arrival at the island capital and port of Patitiri, where you will soon discover that your arrival on the ferry may well be the busiest event of the day.

174

Life on Alonissos runs at its own pace. Rush hour may well mean half a dozen cars on the road at one time and a wild night out could be sitting on your terrace by the pool, a glass of local wine to hand, star-gazing whilst the kebabs sizzle on the barbecue!

This is not to say that there is little to do on the island, far from it. The offshore islands of Peristera and Lechoussa and the seas surrounding them have been designated as a Marine Park and teem with life both on and off the water. The hilltop village and ancient capital of the island, Chora, a jumble of narrow alleys, traditional tavernas, shops and houses is one of the finest viewpoints in the Sporades and naturally has its own ruined fortress.

Although only 12kms long and 4kms wide, with dozens of well-maintained mule paths criss-cross the island linking the scattered hamlets and small fishing villages which are a walker’s or mountain biker’s paradise; equally, jostling for a patch of sand on a crowded beach is unheard of here, but if the sunbathing palls, then kayaking, snorkeling and diving are all available.

Alonissos may seem remote, but it is a Greek island after all, and the Spartans have long been confined to ancient history! The tiny but picturesque fishing village of Steni Vala with its lovely harbour and waterfront tavernas serving fresh fish straight off the boat is well worth a visit. Or take an evening stroll up to Chora in time to watch the sun set behind the distant Pelion mountains of the mainland from a restaurant terrace overlooking the darkening waters of the inner Aegean.

Life on Alonissos can be so very hard!

There is only one main road on Alonissos, which twists and turns through woodland and olive groves as it follows the sea on the east coast of the island with tantalising views at every bend.

Only at the picturesque Steni Vala opposite the uninhabited island of Peristera, is there anything more than a cluster of houses. There are beaches on both sides of the village, easily reached after a few minutes’ walk around the bay leading through an olive grove. Villa Peristera, set amongst the trees is just a hundred metres from the water’s edge. Traditionally designed and built out of local stone, it blends into its surroundings. A large olive tree, which unlike its neighbours has been left unpruned, shades the barbecue area with its traditional ‘fournos’ grate, chimney and a stone table. From here a terrace leads in front of the house to the swimming pool.

The villa opens into the kitchen area and large cool comfortable living/dining room leading out to the front terrace. Opposite the fireplace is an alcove with a useful built in single daybed behind a decorative, painted wood screen and a small washroom. A natural stone staircase leads to the first floor bedrooms. The master double bedroom has an en suite shower room and glorious views from its shaded balcony. The second bedroom has twin beds with a front and side balcony overlooking the pool. Both bedrooms have high wooden ceilings with open main joists and beams built in the classical Sporadic style, allowing air to circulate freely.

Throughout the house, antique and modern furniture has been carefully chosen and the walls are tastefully decorated with old family portraits and other pictures. There is also a separate self contained studio with double bed, external access, small kitchenette and living area.

Appearances can be deceptive!

Although few roads cross the central mountains, the high villages with their distinctive tall stone merchants’ houses are all connected to each other and down to the coast by a network of ancient trails known as kalderimia.

One such village, Milies is still connected to the coast by a narrow gauge railway, designed by an Italian civil engineer Evaristo de Chirico.

The line crosses the many gorges via a series of graceful viaducts that formed a central feature of his son, Georgio’s famous dream-like paintings. But there is far more to this fascinating area than wild forest and mountain.

The claw-like Pelion Peninsula forms one arm of the almost landlocked Pagasitic Gulf. This gentler landscape with its scattered fishing villages, olive groves, vineyards and excellent

Tel. 020 8459 0777

beaches is more typically Greek than the mountains behind.

The Aegean coast of the peninsula is more spectacular. Here, steep streamfilled valleys and ravines end in tree-lined coves and rocky headlands, often with small villages such as Mylopotamos, perched on the steep hillsides. Every cove, inhabited or not has its stretch of sand or shingle and most are connected by kalderimia that follow the coast.

Volos, one of the major cities and ferry ports of Greece is the gateway into The Pelion from the vast plains of Thessaly. In recent years the city has been transformed, with new shopping precincts, an excellent museum and one of the largest open air markets in the region.

These days the chances of meeting a centaur on a mountain path might be somewhat remote, more likely a donkey, but The Pelion with its varied landscapes, fascinating history, unique architecture and beautiful coastline is a wonderful and unspoilt holiday destination.

PELION PENINSULA

AEGEAN S EA

Legendary home of the centaurs, the mountains of the Pelion Peninsula are quite simply unique. Covered in forests of chestnut and beech, riven by deep gorges, and with very few settlements they might seem accessible only to intrepid explorers.

Sitting beside its lovely swimming pool or down on the private jetty watching the fishermen casting their nets into the blue waters of the Pagasitic Gulf, it might just as well be half a world away.

PELION PENINSULA

If your idea of a perfect holiday is freedom from pressure and time to enjoy the simple things in life, then Pounda Paou will appeal to you. The accommodation is simple, yet quirky with traditional furnishings all with balconies or terraces offering a variety of views.

Steps and pathways through the garden lead on to the shaded Jacuzzi and swimming pool with sensational views. There is a sunbathing terrace by the jetty and Paou beach is just a ten minute walk away. Each morning at breakfast guests are asked if they wish to have dinner at the property that evening, the hotel has a reputation for its meals, made with fresh, mainly local ingredients with a menu that varies daily As the property is isolated, we have included the option of a motor boat or car hire for the duration of your stay or for the best of both worlds you can choose a three day combination of both which allows you to explore both by sea and land. The motor boats can be used until 4/5pm each day giving you the freedom to see a completely different aspect of the coastline.

For an alternative choice of tavernas one can venture to the waterside village of Horto around the headland from Pounda Paou, which is twenty minutes by car quicker by boat, Milina with a wider choice or Argalasti a ten minute drive from Paou.

NB: Pounda Paou is a child free property. It is however built on a steep hillside, with varying terraces and therefore is not suitable for those with mobility problems.

MOTOR BOAT HIRE One of the delights of a holiday in the Greek Islands is the sea.

There are very few places where one cannot see the changing blues and greens or hear the waves lapping against the shore.

There is something very special about discovering hidden coves and empty bays in your own boat. The boats are easy to handle and before you know it, you will be your own skipper for a day on a voyage of discovery through some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in Greece.

In high summer it is advisable to book ahead. You can choose either 15HP, for that gentle potter along the coast, or 25 - 30HP, with or without a central steering wheel, with a map to help you explore just that little bit further.

The minimum pre-booked hire period for 3 consecutive days. Motor boat hire is booked in advance in order to secure your boat. As a result of this, we cannot refund days lost to bad weather.

The price for each boat includes the provision of buoyancy aids, flares, oars, anchors and a sun canopy. Detailed instructions for operation and mooring and full local back-up service are also provided.

Fuel is not included.

However, when you hire a motor boat you are obliged to adhere to local laws which prevent them from venturing into exposed areas or going to sea in adverse weather conditions. The local agent will explain the parameters of your sailing area.

Other recommended items are your drivers licence, Credit/Debit cards, a small torch and a continental plug adaptor. In the early and late seasons an item of warm clothing is recommended.

Most requirements can be purchased locally but you may find them more expensive than at home.

Frikes Beach, Ithaka

FURTHER INFORMATION

We hope that so far our brochure has given you a clear picture of the type of holidays, service and properties we offer. We are always happy to answer any detailed and specific questions you may have.

Our friendly and knowledgeable team have firsthand experience of all our locations and if there is anything they can’t answer personally they will certainly know someone who can!

193

FURTHER INFORMATION WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR ACCOMMODATION?

Our properties are chosen primarily for their location and appeal.

Our self-catering properties are all equipped with linen and bath towels (except beach towels).

Maid service is provided on arrivals day and midweek (unless specified), linen and towels are changed on these days.

All our self-catering properties are equipped, for the maximum occupancy, with sufficient crockery, cutlery, glassware and utensils suitable for preparing simple meals. Kitchen facilities in our selfcatering accommodation normally include ovens, but not always washing machines or dishwashers, however there are some exceptions and details are given in the individual property descriptions.

Irons, ironing boards and hairdryers are also not the norm.

Some of our properties have solar power so water may be tepid rather than piping hot, especially in the early mornings and at night, but most do have an electrical backup system.

All our self-catering accommodation without air conditioning will be provided with fans. Extra fans can be requested at the time of booking.

Our brochure is prepared and the photographs taken well in advance so some of the décor and facilities may well have been updated or changed. It is also difficult to describe and photograph each individual apartment so whilst all the main facilities will be common, the layout and furnishings may differ slightly.

Maintenance and repairs may need to be undertaken from time to time.

In order to keep properties up to the standards we require our staff may make regular health, safety and quality control checks, so expect visits to the properties during your stay. If you do not wish to be disturbed, please discuss this with your representative. You are responsible for any breakages or damages caused by you or any member of your party during your stay in the accommodation. It is your responsibility to leave the property as you found it. You should advise your local representative prior to departure so that they can organise repairs or replacements as to not inconvenience incoming guests.

Please take time to read our ‘Things to do before you go’ booklet, which is included with your travel documents. It will go some way to enhance your Greek holiday experience and make your stay more enjoyable.

INTERNET AND WIFI

If an accommodation has internet access this is usually mentioned in the description. In most cases connections are sufficient for checking emails and light web browsing. Bandwidth restrictions may apply if the connections are used for downloading large files or streaming video content. WiFi is available in most villages and many local cafés also advertise free connections. Please note we cannot guarantee WiFi availability as this is dependent on local ISPs, technical issues etc. This facility does not form part of our contract with you.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR SURROUNDINGS?

Our destinations and properties are all chosen to give you a relaxing but authentic Ionian Island holiday. Many of our properties are in beautiful rural areas where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the local indigenous wildlife. In some properties you will be staying within the local community, so their way of life should not only be observed and enjoyed but also respected.

FURTHER INFORMATION

It should also be remembered that, although we make every effort to provide all the facilities you would expect from your holiday, you are on a Mediterranean island and it is possible that from time to time you may experience such things as a temporary power cut or water shortage.

In low season and on Public Holidays, some of the public facilities may not be available. Also during local festivals villages that are normally peaceful may be transformed. Sadly, there are no seasonal building restrictions on most of the Islands and we have no control over such matters, but we will endeavour to keep track of any planned long-term construction and withdraw any properties should they be affected.

Any short-term local ‘DIY’ (such as low level building works) activities are, however, totally beyond our control. We also have no control over the opening and closing of local businesses such as cafés and tavernas at anytime during the season, property information relating to this information should be used as a guideline only.

194 www.ionianislandholidays.com

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT IN YOUR WELCOME PACK?

We are committed to making your stay in the islands as comfortable as possible. Many properties are in secluded locations and even though you may arrive at a reasonable time you may not have had the opportunity to shop and obtain basic provisions. For this reason we provide a basic food pack in all self-catered accommodation.

The Welcome Pack: This pack may consist of bread, butter, milk, jam, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, crisps, savoury snacks, soft drinks, juice, mineral water and a bottle of wine. (or similar items depending on local supplies).

IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY ALL THE PRODUCTS ARE EITHER BOUGHT OR PRODUCED LOCALLY. WHAT LOCAL SUPPORT IS THERE?

We have our own representatives based in each destination with offices in Fiskardo (Kefalonia), Vathy (Ithaka), Nidri (Lefkada), Gaios (Paxos), Corfu Town, Volos (Pelion), Skiathos Town and Skopelos Town. Our representatives will welcome you at the airport and ensure your efficient transfer to your accommodation. They will also assist you in arranging car hire and any excursions you may require.

They will endeavour to visit you at least twice during your stay, if you so wish, and will be available to offer friendly advice and guidance in order for you to make the most of your stay. Should you encounter any difficulties, they are just a telephone call away and have the local contacts needed to solve any problems.

If you are not happy with any aspect of your holiday please do not wait until you get home to tell us. Advising our local representative can help resolve most problems.

JUST HOW INDEPENDENT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU, BUT WE WILL BE THERE SHOULD YOU NEED US. OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT PAID COMMISSION, THEY ARE ON HAND TO PROVIDE IMPARTIAL ADVICE WHERE IT IS NEEDED. OUR INVOLVEMENT IN SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

We are committed to the conservation and preservation of the natural environment. With strong local connections, we feel we have a moral responsibility towards the environment and the local community.

SUPPORT FOR THE ECONOMY OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

We support small scale agriculture and local crafts of the local community, introducing you to the products and services available locally, from traditional wine and olive oil producers to honey farmers.

PROVIDING PRACTICAL SUPPORT FOR LOCAL INITIATIVES

We support and sponsor initiatives that seek to maintain the natural beauty of our region, including regular beach cleaning, footpath clearance and management of the wildlife.

INCREASING CLIENT AWARENESS AND INVOLVEMENT IN LOCAL ISSUES

You may only have a short time to spend in this region, but we realise that this has an important part to play in ensuring that the qualities that attracted you to the area in the first place are preserved.

WORKING CLOSELY WITH OWNERS AND LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITIES

We encourage appropriate future development and share a mutual responsibility towards maintaining the natural beauty of our surroundings and to ensure appropriate future development.

Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays is managed by a team who are largely native to the Ionian Islands, giving us a unique opportunity to play a major part in the development of sustainable tourism.

We at Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays do our utmost to ensure every aspect of your holidays goes smoothly and to plan, but occasionally things do go wrong and when it does, we would ask that you kindly allow us the opportunity to put matters right whilst you are still in resort. Please contact your representative during your stay to discuss matters further, after all, they are there to assist you to and to help you get the maximum enjoyment from your holiday.

BOOKING CONDITIONS These Booking Conditions and the Further Information contained in this brochure form the basis of your contract with Ionian Island Holidays Ltd also trading as Aegean Island Holidays. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. These booking conditions have been formulated as a result of our responsibilities under law. They do not affect your statutory rights.

Your Financial Protection When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package or flight from Ionian Island Holidays Limited (also trading as Aegean Island Holidays) you will receive a Confirmation Invoice and ATOL Certificate from us, confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 5853. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

1) What happens when you make a reservation?

All bookings are made and accepted subject to the terms set out in these conditions and the information detailed in this supplement. When you or your travel agent make the booking a contract is made, and we will confirm your booking as soon as we receive your instructions verbally, electronically or in writing. You must then pay the deposit together with any applicable insurance premium. An invoice will be sent to you, or your travel agent, for the balance of monies owing. If intended departure is within 8 weeks, then the total holiday cost, including the insurance premium, is payable in full at the time of booking.

2) Prices and surcharges The price of your holiday was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 12 October 2015. in relation to the following currencies £1 sterling being €1.35 Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, duties, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates, mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However, there will be no charge within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.

Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of the holiday cost, them any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

Please check your invoice carefully to ensure that it reflects your intended booking.

3) How to book, what to pay and when?

The person, in whose name the booking is made, acts on behalf of all other persons named, must be over 18 years of age and becomes responsible to us for all payments in respect of the booking. Your reservation will be confirmed upon payment of a deposit of £150 per person plus any applicable insurance premium. It is a condition of booking that you are adequately insured on your holiday. We allow 5 working days from confirmation of the booking for monies to reach us. If after that period monies have not been received, the holiday is cancelled and cancellation charges will apply. We must receive the balance of the holiday cost at least 8 weeks before the departure date. Please also ensure you send payment in sufficient time for us to pay in and clear it through your bank, otherwise your booking will be cancelled, and you will be liable to pay cancellation charges as shown in Condition (12). If your holiday is arranged through our authorised travel agents and not directly with us, then all monies paid to your Travel Agent are held by them as an Agent of Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays Limited.

Late Bookings: For all bookings made within 8 weeks of departure, the holiday is confirmed as soon as you or your Travel Agent gives verbally over the telephone, or by e-mail confirmation.

Therefore if you subsequently cancel your booking, cancellation charges as shown in Condition (12) apply. Full payment for the holiday, including insurance premiums, must be made at the time of booking in order to secure the reservation.

4) What do we charge for children, toddlers and babies?

BOOKING CONDITIONS

The conditions below apply to all children travelling with Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays Limited. a) Definitions: an ‘infant’ is a child under the age of 2 on the return of such child to the UK. A ‘child’ is a person under the age of 16 on the return of such child to the UK. Handling Agents at airports will specifically check the child’s date of birth with passport entries. b) Price reductions for children are listed on page 161 and apply to children sharing with two full fare paying adults. c) The adult price is based on the number of adults and children sharing the accommodation. d) Infants travel for £50, cots, highchairs and baby seats are provided free of charge, if requested at the time of booking. Passengers booking places for infants, where the infant is found to be outside the age limits specified above, will be required to pay the full price plus an amendment fee, before any member of the party will be allowed to board the aircraft.

Any child booked as an infant who is, in fact, over the age of two on the date of RETURN travel, will be refused permission to board if there are insufficient seats on the aircraft, as airline regulations stipulate that children over two must have their own seats.

5) What happens if we change your holiday?

We plan our holidays many months in advance and although it is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to confirmed bookings, it can happen. Changes are usually of a minor nature, and we will advise you or your travel agent at the earliest possible date, if there is time, before your departure. Flight timings and carriers in this brochure are subject to change, confirmed details will be sent with your tickets. Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays reserves the right to alter the brochure flight departure time to a different time within a period of twelve hours of the notified time of departure, without responsibility for any loss or damage arising from such a change. Airport authorities or other factors beyond our control may vary the scheduling of departure times after this brochure is printed and the details given are for your guidance only. We are unable to accept any liability for any delay to your flight, whether the delay or cancellation is caused by adverse weather conditions, the action of air traffic controllers, the action of airport authorities or governments, the rescheduling of times by the airline, mechanical breakdown, strike or industrial action or otherwise. In such circumstances

208 www.ionianislandholidays.com

you may be able to make a claim under your insurance policy. We reserve the right to alter the aircraft type or airline operating your flight, this is not a material change, and we will be under no obligation to notify you of any such change. If a major change occurs, provided it does not arise from events beyond our control, you will have the choice of (a) accepting the changed arrangements, (b) purchasing another available holiday from us, or (c) cancelling or accepting the cancellation and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us. In all cases we will pay compensation on the scale shown. A ‘major change’ is any of the following made before the day of departure: change of departure airport, holiday area, change of flight departure time by 12 hours or more, substitution of accommodation originally booked with one of a lower price or official grading.

If you wish, we will give you a credit voucher against a future Ionian & Aegean Island Holiday instead of cash.

Period before scheduled departure Compensation per full fare paying within which a major change is notified passenger (excluding infants)*

Cash Refund Credit Voucher 0 - 14 days £30 £60 15 - 28 days £20 £40 29 - 55 days £10 £20 56 days or more Nil Nil *NB: For children invoiced at reduced rates, compensation will be paid on a pro-rata basis.

Compensation payments apply to all holidays booked including reduced price or special offer holidays. However, in the case of reduced price or special offer holidays, compensation is 50% of the above rate. They do not apply to changes caused as a result of force majeure, war, threat of war, riots, civil strife or disturbance, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural disasters, fire, technical problems to transport, closure or disruption of airspace or airports or seaports, cancellation of scheduled airline or sea services, or other events outside our control. On rare occasions it may be necessary to change your holiday on arrival in resort. In this event every effort will be made to provide accommodation of the same or higher standard in the same or similar type resort.

6) What happens if Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays are forced to cancel your holiday?

We reserve the right, in any circumstance, to cancel your holiday. However, in no case will we cancel your holiday less than 8 weeks before the scheduled departure date, except for the reasons detailed in Conditions (2) and (7). If due to events beyond our control, we can no longer provide the holiday originally booked, we will return your money, or offer you an alternative holiday of a comparable standard.

7) What are Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays liable for?

We will arrange for you to receive the services that make up your chosen holiday and that we confirm. These services will be provided either directly by us or through independent suppliers contracted by us. We are responsible for making sure that each part of the holiday you book with us is provided to a reasonable standard and was as advertised by us (or changed and accepted by you). If any part of your holiday is not provided as described and this spoils your holiday, we will pay you appropriate compensation (see “Section 5 - What happens if we change your holiday”).

We accept responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents, and suppliers while acting within the scope of, or in the course of their employment with us. We also accept responsibility for any deficiencies in the services we are contractually obliged to provide, or the failure of such services to reach a reasonable standard. We are unable to accept responsibility for any aspect of your holiday affected by matters over which we have no control. These include war or threat of war, riots and civil strife, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, earthquakes, weather conditions, fire, flood, drought, industrial disputes, government action, airport regulations and closures or technical transportation problems which may affect the service of hotels, villas or apartments abroad or the scheduling of aircraft, of other transport or other circumstances amounting to force majeure. Our travel insurance does provide cover in respect of some of these eventualities. We do not accept responsibility in respect of death, bodily injury or illness of any person taking one of our holidays, except when caused by the negligent acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents, suppliers or sub-contractors while acting within the scope of, or in the course of their employment, agency contract or supply of sub-contract.

We have done our best to ensure that our brochure is accurate at the time of going to print. However, you will appreciate that we do not own the accommodation, airlines or other services and facilities that you will be using and changes may occur. On occasions, especially during low season, certain facilities/amenities such as water sports, swimming pools, restaurants etc, may not be open/Available as advertised, due to maintenance, weather conditions, lack of demand or other reasons outside our control. We also have no control over local businesses opening/closing at anytime throughout the season. We will give what assistance we can to a client, who through mishap suffers illness, personal injury or death during the period of the holiday, arising out of the mishap, subject to our reasonable discretion and providing that you request it within 90 days of the occurrence of the mishap, we will meet the initial legal costs associated with such proceedings. This is limited to £5,000 per person/ £25,000 per booking form, and may be granted as a loan if you have suitable insurance cover, or if there is any claim for the costs against a third party.

8) Personal injury 1 This section covers injury, illness or death while you are using the holiday services that we have arranged for you, including our accommodation. We have no direct control over the way our suppliers provide their services but everyone employed or contracted by us or by our suppliers is expected to carry out their duties properly. If they do not carry out their duties properly (or at all) and that fault results in your injury, illness or death, we may make a payment to you. We will not make any payment if your injury, illness or death was caused by an event or circumstances which the person who caused it could not have predicted or avoided even if they had taken all necessary and due care. We will not make any payment if your illness, injury or death was your own fault. If we do make a payment, it will be similar to one you would receive under English law in an English court.

We will make such payments for injury, illness or death on the basis that you accept that: • You must tell us and the supplier involved about your injury or illness while you are in the resort (see section 18). You should also write to our Customer Services at the address given in section 18 about your claim within 28 days of coming home from your holiday to allow us to investigate it properly. Please include a letter about your injury or illness from your doctor if you can.

• You should transfer to us any rights you have against the supplier or any other person.

• You should co-operate fully with us if we or our insurers want to enforce those rights.

• Any payments we make may be limited in accordance with international conventions.

• We ask you to transfer your rights to us so that we can claim back from suppliers any payments we make to you, plus any legal or other costs. We will not make a profit from this. If we get back from the supplier more than we have paid you plus these costs, we will give the extra money to you.

BOOKING CONDITIONS This section covers damages, injury, illness or death which is not connected with the arrangements made by us. If you or someone on your holiday booking is injured, falls ill or dies while taking part in an activity which is not part of the holiday, or you need to incur unpredictable extra expenses for which we are not liable we will try to help if we can (see “section 7 – What we are liable for”). For example, we can help by: • Providing translation services • Communicating with authorities and others in foreign resorts • Recommending foreign lawyers (if necessary) • Explaining the procedures you should follow - telling you of any time limits We will help everyone on your holiday booking up to a total cost to us of £5,000 as long as the following conditions are met: • You must ask us for help within three months of coming back from holiday • You must make a claim under your insurance policy’s legal expenses or other appropriate section • You must show us proof that your insurance company has received your claim and, if you get back the cost of legal or other expenses, you must repay us any money we have spent in helping you.

Where the services in question consist of carriage by air or sea, our obligations and liabilities are limited in the manner provided by international conventions in respect of air and sea carriers. Be advised that in the event that you or a member of your party is disruptive or behaving in an unsociable manner, the company will have no further liability or responsibility to you in respect of accommodation or flights.

9) Conduct while travelling We reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or continue dealing with you if your behaviour is disruptive, affects other travellers, is threatening or abusive towards our staff, agents in the UK, in resort, on the telephone, in writing or in person. If the Captain of your flight or any of our resort staff believes that you could be disruptive, they can also refuse to permit you to proceed with your travel arrangements. If this means you are not allowed to board the flight outbound from the UK, we will treat your booking as cancelled by you from that moment, and you will have to pay full cancellation charges (see section 12). If this occurs overseas then you will become responsible for your own return home and any other members of your group who cannot or will not travel without you. In any of these circumstances no refunds or compensation will be paid to you and we may make a claim against you for any costs and expenses incurred as a result of your behaviour e.g. the cost of diverting an aircraft or boat to remove you. Criminal proceedings may also be instigated.

10) Extra persons in villas or apartments The number of people stipulated in the confirmation of booking must not be exceeded unless approval is obtained from the Company’s local representative or from the Company’s London Office and the appropriate payment made. Any unauthorised guests found to be staying at the property will be asked to leave.

11) What happens if you change your holiday plans?

If you wish to change your holiday in any way, and we can accept the change, the following charges will apply. Timescales refer to the date of receipt of your instructions in writing, and cancellation charges are detailed in condition (12).

More than 56 days before departure – £25 per change.

Less than 56 days before departure – Cancellation charges apply.

Please Note: (i) No changes are allowed from a full price holiday to a special offer holiday. (ii) N o changes are allowed from one season to another. This would be treated as a cancellation. (iii) If there is a change in the number of persons booked on the holiday, the price will be recalculated on the basis of the amended party size, subject to availability. If one person in a twin room cancels we reserve the right to pass on the full cost of the twin room to the person using the room. Any increase in price per person as a result of a part cancellation is not a cancellation charge and is not covered by our insurance. A separate cancellation charge as detailed in Condition (12) will be made against the cancelled element, and the booking will be re-invoiced accordingly. (iv) Name changes: Names can be changed at £25 per name up to 28 days prior to the departure date (only applicable to our charter flights). N.B. On scheduled flights no name changes can be accepted.

12) And if you cancel?

If you wish to cancel your holiday, this must be done in a written communication by the person in whose name the holiday is invoiced (or the travel agent through which the booking was made).

In the event of cancellation or part cancellation, the following charges become payable: Period before departure date that Cancellation charge as % of total holiday communication received cost less insurance premium More than 56 days Deposit Only 55 - 29 days 50% 28 - 22 days 60% 0 - 21 days 100% Cancellations must be notified in writing to us or your travel agent and commence from date received by ionian & aegean island holidays.

NB: If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of your insurance policy, then the insurance company will normally refund any such charges to you. The insurance premium is forfeited on cancellation. Please note this if you do not turn up for your flight, unless you inform us otherwise, your booking will be treated as a cancellation and normal cancellation charges of 100% will apply.

13) What if you break or damage anything on your holiday?

Should a client be responsible for damage to or loss of any item of the accommodation inventory during their occupation of the holiday accommodation, a charge will be made locally to cover the cost of replacement or repair. Please make this known to your Resort Representative prior to your departure. This will enable us to put things right for the new arrivals.

Where any breakages have occurred and payment is due our representative will issue an official company receipt specifying details on the amount paid.

14) Beaches Beaches, the sea, roads and areas around holiday accommodation do not form part of the package and have not been inspected.

15) Car hire You must also pay for any excess on car hire insurance, parking fines and petrol consumed. It is your responsibility to either resolve any dispute regarding damage to the vehicle, fuel and parking fines locally and make full payment to our local car hire agent before your departure.

16) Local services Any services or excursions purchased locally in resort, even if these are arranged by our representative or agent, do not form any part of this contract.

17) Motor boat hire and sailing All boating and sailing facilities are offered subject to availability and are subject to local Greek laws and the directions of the local harbourmaster. The Company cannot be held responsible for loss of boat hire due to adverse weather conditions. You are responsible for any damage caused to your hired motorboat, as these boats only have third party insurance cover. Any dispute regarding boat hire including petrol charges and damage to the boat must be settled locally before your departure.

18) What happens if you complain about your holiday?

If a problem arises during your holiday, it is important that you advise the supplier and/ or representative at the earliest opportunity, who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint cannot be resolved locally, your representative will ask you to complete a Client Liaison form, the original to be kept by you and a copy will be forwarded to our Head Office.

This form records your grievance or complaint made whilst in resort. Should you wish to take the matter further, please email our Customer Relations at cr@ionianislandholidays.com or write to Customer Relations, Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays, Olympia House, Armitage Road, London NW11 8RQ, or your travel agent, within 28 days of returning home quoting your booking reference number. Unless there is a valid reason, we will not consider Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays Ltd liable for any complaint that was not initially registered with our representative ‘in-resort’. It is unlikely that you will have a complaint that cannot be settled amicably however should you wish to write to us please allow 28 days from written receipt of correspondence in which to investigate and respond to your grievance. Please include an email address so we may acknowledge receipt of your correspondence.

Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be amicably settled, may be referred to arbitration, if the client so wishes, under an independent scheme arranged

by The Association of British Travel Agents Ltd and administered by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone, with restricted liability on the client in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA Ltd, website (www.abta.com). The Scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £15,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims, which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration and Statement of Claim must be received by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within nine months of the date of return from the holiday. Outside this time limit, arbitration under the scheme may still be available if the company agrees, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement.

Full details are available from ABTA Ltd, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ.

19) What happens if you lose or damage a piece of luggage?

Under the terms of various international conventions, while your personal effects and baggage are in the hands of the carrier, the carrier is liable for the safety of such baggage. If your baggage is lost or damaged between the time of airport check-in and the recovery of the baggage from the carousel at the end of the flight, then the carrier is under a duty to pay compensation.

The amount of compensation is determined by international convention, details of which are on the reverse of your flight tickets. In case of loss or damage, a Property Irregularity Report must be completed before you leave the airport. Should your claim be in excess of the airline’s compensation level, then you should approach your insurers to see if they will pay the difference.

It is your responsibility to ensure that all your belongings are loaded onto the correct transfer coach, minibus, taxi or hire car. At all other times when your personal effects and/or baggage are in the custody, care and control of Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays, we will be responsible for the safety of such items. However, we will not accept liability for claims in excess of £400.

Items of high individual value should be adequately insured, as neither Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays nor its carriers will accept liability for loss or damage.

20) What rules apply to flights including flight delays?

Civil Aviation Authority regulations specify that both the outbound and inbound sections of the air ticket must be used. In the event that the outbound flight is not used, the passenger will not be allowed to return on the inbound charter flight. Should anyone check-in less than 90 minutes before the ticketed departure time, admission to the flight is likely to be refused. Should anyone be refused admission to the flight or to the destination country by the airline or government authority, then we are powerless to assist and cannot be held responsible. In all such cases we will not be liable for any costs involved. International flights can be operated by Monarch Airlines, Small Planet, Germania, Thomas Cook, Aegean Airlines, British Airways, Thomson or any other airline operating CAA licensed aircraft. When you travel with a carrier, the Conditions of Carriage of that carrier apply, some of which limit liability. Such conditions are the subject of international agreements between countries. We draw your attention to the conditions regarding delayed flights and point out that we cannot accept any additional responsibility for delays over those stipulated by the carrier. This brochure is the responsibility of the tour operator.
