Location
About the surrounding area of Villa PavlosVilla Pavlos is perched high on a hill, overlooking olive groves, blue seas, and Lefkes town, the capital of the island of Lefkada, in the heart of the Greek Ionian Sea. The villa is twenty two kilometres from the nearest international airport of Aktion in Prevaza, or you can island hop from Ithaki, Kefalonia or Meganisi. It is a short drive into the main town, where you can purchase all of the provisions you will need to cater for your holiday. The villa is located on the north of the island, where there is a causeway that connects it to mainland Greece.
Nearby and down the west coast there are many fabulous famous golden sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, most notably Agios Ioannis, Porto Katsiki, Agiofili, Kathisma, and Egremni. Many of the beaches are organised with sun loungers and brollies, a selection of water sports, and cafes and bars. Lefkada is also famous for its dense forests and mountains; walk, trek, hike, climb or cycle these inland regions, take guided tours on well-worn tracks, as you pass the island’s flora and fauna. Admire the views of Mount Elati, at one thousand one hundred and fifty metres above sea level, it is the highest peak on Lefkada. Get active with the many activities on the, including horse riding, scuba diving, fishing, tennis, or simply an in-villa yoga session, followed by a massage.
A private boat trip is highly recommended as the sea along the East side of the island are perfect for exploring islets, hidden coves and beaches, this can be arranged by either a rib or sailing boat.
Visit the capital town of Lefkes, with its central square of Agios Spyridon, and many beautiful Greek Orthodox churches 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. Stop at a welcoming family run taverna to enjoy some homemade meze washed down with a glass of ouzo. The picturesque fishing village of Vassilki is thirty eight kilometres from the villa, on the south coast. The area is well known for its beautiful organised beaches, and excellent water sports, particularly wind surfing. From here you can take the ferry and island hop to the Ithika and Kefalonia. Or enjoy a delicious dinner of freshly caught seafood by the sea shore.
The village of Poros has verdant slopes populated with 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, it has a tiny church, a nineteenth century castle, a fifteenth century mosque, and a Venetian Christian temple, with a stone bell tower.
For the twitchers there are the two sea lake lagoons of Lefkada, in the protected area of Divari and Ivaria, home to migratory sea birds, gulls, herons, and swans, as well as hares, foxes, and ferrets to name a few. No visit to Lefkada is complete with a boat tour of the island, and even better let the concierge arrange your own private yacht charter with your own captain. Sail the Ionian Sea, swim and snorkel, sunbathe, enjoy lunch aboard, then embark as the sun begins to set. 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.

Nearby is Ammoglossa, adjacent to Kastro with natural shade and parking, down the coast is Lygia, shaded by eucalyptus trees and lots of amenities, and picturesque Nikiania is in a beautiful shallow water bay with a diving centre.
The town of Lefkes is well worth a visit, where you can learn some of the history of the island at the Archeological Museum, the culture of the island at the Folklore Museum, have some fun at the Gramophone museum, then take them for a treat to a traditional Greek patisserie for a delicious dessert and ice cream. Get them active with a walk along one of the many forest and mountain trails, a morning horseback riding, or a day out at the sea lakes to see the birds. Take a jeep safari around the island, see the inland mountain village of Karya, noted for its embroidery shops and handcrafted olive artefacts. Stop of at the monastery of Faneromeni, with its Byzantine icons, lush gardens, and a mini zoo. Out of town a family day to Nydri is a must, with its verdant natural bays, sandy beaches, fishing boats and caiques, ferry connections, and folklore museum. It is also home to the Nydri Waterfalls at the Dimossari Gorge, where water cascades into a natural lake surrounded by rock formations. The village of Agios Nikitas is fabulously family-friendly, noted for its picturesque beauty, with a pristine beach set in an amphitheatre bay surrounded by olive groves. Whilst Mili Beach is great for kitesurfing, swimming ,and sunbathing.
On the south coast the village of Vasiliki is noted for fun in the sun windsurfing. You can all learn the art of olive oil production at the Fabbrica Olive Museum, then get to taste it and take a bottle home with you. Nearby is the Kerasia Waterfall, worth a visit just for the views. No holiday to Lefkada is complete without a family day at sea, join a boat tour from the harbour, or let the concierge charter your own yacht, when you can swim, snorkel, and sunbathe all day.

Superb
We had a superb experience at the Villa. It is as functional as it is beautiful. Large open space amazing pool. We were a party of 8 which consisted of our core family of 5 plus my parents and brother. The suite on the ground floor was perfect for my parent’s who are in their 80s and have trouble with stairs and the fully independent and separated unit was perfect for my brother giving him privacy. The host was very responsive and helpful. The wonderful house keeper that came in every day to clean was also wonderful. I truly recommend the villa.

Slow and Luxurious
If there is a place that you can come in touch with the Mediterranean way of slow and quality living but with a luxurious touch then you are at the only place that you can have this experience! A luxurious establishment with a breathtaking view of the island! Olive trees, mountain, rocks and a design house is the entrance to these Mediterranean slow living feeling! The main concept is to feel like home but with a twist of more is less! A swimming pool, bbq, fully equipped kitchen, a huge living room, play room and so much more. The managers and the staff are there for you for every need. And the most important thing is the quiet and discreet area away from the crowd and noise but too close to the centre.
