Villa Feya

Villa Feya can be found on the east coast of the Greek island of Lefkada, overlooking Vlicho Bay, where the Yenion mountain peninsula meets the azure waters of the Ionia Sea. The villa is set on the hillside of ancient olive groves and is within walking distance of the village of Vlicho and Desimi beach. The villa is a sixty-minute drive from the nearest international airport of Aktion in Prevaza, or you can island hop from Ithaki, Kefalonia or Meganisi. In the long, narrow streets of the village of Vlicho, you can purchase all the provisions you will need to cater for your holiday and stop at a local family-run taverna to sample the local fare. The villa comes with an experience concierge team, who can arrange bespoke unforgettable adventures, from private charter yacht trips to exclusive restaurant experiences.

The Lefkada coastline is populated with family-friendly, golden sandy beaches, some with organised facilities, a selection of water sports, and seaside tavernas, cafes, and bars. Nearby Mikros Gialos has a long sandy beach, whilst the fishing village of Vassiliki is noted for its fabulous selection of water sports. The popular resort town of Nidri is a ten-minute drive north of the villa, with a beautiful bay and sandy beach, surrounded by lush nature, cafes, bars, souvenir shops, and some splendid super yachts. Look across the bay to Scorpios, the famous island that was once the home of Aristotle Onassis. There is a port, that can connect you to the Greek mainland, and other islands, a prehistoric settlement, a folklore museum, waterfalls and the Dimosari Gorge. Lefkada is famous for its dense forests and mountains; walk, trek, hike, climb or cycle these inland regions, take guided tours on well-worn tracks, and see the island’s flora and fauna. Admire the views of Mount Elati, the highest peak in Lefkada, at one thousand one hundred and fifty metres above sea level. Get moving with the many activities on the island, including horse riding, scuba diving, fishing, or tennis.

Visit the capital town of Lefkes, and take time to wander around the central square of Agios Spyridon, with its Greek Orthodox churches, decorated with original icons, and works of the Ionian School of Painting. Walk down Mela Street, with its arcades of souvenir shops and traditional houses, before visiting the Archeological, Gramophone, and Folklore Museums. Take a day trip to one of the island’s many picturesque villages, especially Poros with its verdant slopes populated and traditional two-storey terracotta-roofed houses, winding alleyways, a fourth-century castle, and the Church of Analipsi with its icons and frescoes. See the yachts at Sivota, as you sit and watch the fishing boats unload their daily catch for the local restaurants.

The village of Santa Maria is rich in the cultural history of the island, with a tiny church, a nineteenth-century castle, a fifteenth-century mosque, and a Venetian Christian temple, with a stone bell tower. There are two sea lake lagoons on Lefkada, in the protected area of Divari and Ivaria, home to migratory sea birds, gulls, herons, swans, hares, foxes, and ferrets. Visit the vineyards and sample the varieties of wine the island has to offer, and after dark dance the night away under the twinkling stars.
