Wonderful views. Unusually spacious. Two bedroom, two bathroom (both ensuite), sleeps four
An unusually spacious two bedroom villa (spacious both internally and externally). Excellent location: peaceful without being isolated and enables easy access to both town and beaches Such a convenient location provides the best of both worlds allowing guests to either stay in the grounds of the villa, relaxing by the pool or to visit the superb beaches or the charming and atmospheric town of Lefkas (a real town with a distinct & authentic personality – not just a tourist town) .
The approach to the villa lies off the coastal road and along the country lane behind Tsoukalades village. The villa is reached after passing through extensive, terraced olive groves and arriving at the scenic valley where the villa is situated.
The villa is very comfortably furnished with an open plan style kitchen and sitting room. A bright colour scheme with a Mediterranean feel, pictures and ornaments make it a real holiday home. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of wardrobes and cupboards for clothes and belongings. Lie in bed and watch the sunrise through the French windows. The pool is a good size with ample sunbathing areas with sunbeds. There are shady areas too for relaxing during afternoon. The rural gardens and surroundings are full of wild flowers in early season and the butterflies and birds are an added attraction during the main summer. For keen walkers, this is a great area. This very scenic and very accessible area does lend itself to walking. There are a couple of tavernas and a mini–market in Tsoukalades village, however, you are only an easy 10 minute drive from Lefkada town with its wide selection of shops and tavernas, not to mention the daily fresh fish and vegetable markets. It is also a similar distance to numerous beaches, the closest being Pefkoulia.
The Island
Lefkada Island provides visitors with an enormous amount of variety in terms of landscape and coastline. All of it very accessible. The east coast is mainly shingle bays and coves. The west coast has dramatic hillsides, cliffs and long sand/shingle beaches. The village of Tsoukalades near to the villa is on the north west coast within easy reach of excellent beaches including Pefkoulia, Agios Nikitas, Milos and Kathisma. All are easily accessible by car along the scenic coastal road which passes through the Tsoukalades.
Lefkas Town
10 mins drive, is the main commercial centre and has the best shopping facilities on the island. There is a quayside road south of the causeway entrance with a busy marina. The High Street runs through the centre of town and is also known as the ‘Pazari’, this is the main street for shopping and cafes. A mid-morning coffee in the square is ideal for a break and a perfect opportunity to see the Lefkadians in action. It is lovely to walk around the back streets of the town where you are also more likely to see the typical Lefkadian houses wrapped in brightly painted corrugated iron.
Agios Nikitas
10 mins drive, on the west coast of the island, is a pretty little village surrounded by fabulous beaches such as Pefkoulia, Kathisma and Kalamitsi. It has tourist facilities, many tavernas, restaurants and a few shops. The nucleus of the village has been placed under preservation order, thus maintaining the traditional Ionian ambience.
Pefkoulia Beach
(10 mins drive) Just before the village of Agios Nikitas is the superb long golden beach of Pefkoulia. There are sunbeds and beach umbrellas to hire on the beach plus a taverna and cafe.
Kalamitsi Beach
(approx. 20 mins drive). One of the most beautiful beaches on Lefkas. Fine shingle dotted with rock formations and a long stretch of pure white shingle beach. There are two small cafés down here and not much with regards to sun beds and beach facilities.
Porto Katsiki Beach
(approx. 1hr drive) Porto Katsiki, considered one of the most outstanding in the whole of Europe. This is a beach of exceptional beauty at the most southern tip of the island. A gorgeous shingle beach framed by high limestone cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise water. There are cafes and tavernas at the beach and sun bed facilities on the beach.
Engremni Beach
(approx. 1 hr drive). 296 or so, steps lead down to this stunning beach virginal fine shingle beach. One of the top beaches in the Ionian Sea this is a must for visitors to Lefkas island. As with Porto Katsiki it is a gorgeous beach framed by high limestone cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise water.
Exploring by motorboat
Taking a motorboat out can open up a realm of uninhabited beaches and coves. We can arrange motorboat hire for you if you wish to discover the surrounding coastline. The motorboat can be moored in either Nidri (15 mins drive) or at Sivota (10mins drive). Boat price includes map of the boating area, buoyancy aids, flares, oars and anchors plus delivery and pick-up. Detailed instructions will also be given for operation and mooring and a full local back-up service is provided. There are many small deserted coves on the coast and excellent snorkelling areas where you can enjoy the local marine life such as Sea Urchins, Sea cucumbers, Hermit Crabs, Red Star Fish and when overturning stones or rocks perhaps you will be lucky to find a Brittle Starfish or even an Octopus
Mikros Gialos
Approx 25 minutes. A beautiful, quiet bay with superb tavernas and wonderful beach. Near to the village of Poros
Vassiliki
40 mins drive, in the south is a self-contained tourist resort with a full range of facilities. The harbour is lined with restaurants and cafes and the main street has a fair number of shops. Souvenir shopping is usually quite good here, there are lots of shops which specialise in casual wear and sports gear. Vassiliki is of particular interest to windsurf fans. Many sailing companies operate from here and you may hire windsurf boards and catamarans on a daily or hourly basis. Vassiliki has a ferry port operating a service to Cephalonia and Ithaca.
