Location
About the surrounding area of Villa PetroVilla Petro is situated along the coast of Petrothalassa, near the picturesque harbour of Porto Heli, offering impressive sea views of Trikeri, Spetses, and Dokos islands. The closest international airport is Athens, with travel to Porto Heli conveniently accessible via ferry from Piraeus harbour followed by a short taxi ride to the villa or if you are driving down by car or taxi, the route for Spetses takes you to the coast of Costa and is about a 3 hour drive. Nestled in a secluded residential bay, Villa Petro faces the shoreline amidst a small cluster of similar luxury residences. The nearest beach is just steps away from the villa.
Local shops for essentials are located approximately two and a half kilometres away, offering opportunities to enjoy local bars for ouzo or traditional tavernas for meze. Porto Heli, a summer resort located three kilometres down the road, provides ferry connections to Spetses, Hydra, and Poros islands. Visitors can explore Porto Heli's cosmopolitan atmosphere, featuring upscale shops, local arts and crafts, waterfront dining, and relaxed cafes ideal for people-watching. Evenings can be spent under the stars at the town's open-air cinema.
For those seeking adventure, organized beaches nearby offer water sports such as jet skiing and horseback riding along the Aegean Sea. Lake Ververoda, known for its purported medicinal properties and hosting international water-skiing competitions, invites swimming and fishing. Boat trips offer opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling, either aboard chartered yachts or group tours.
Nature enthusiasts can enjoy scenic walks or hikes along the dramatic coastline, exploring local flora and fauna. From the harbour at Costa, ferries depart for Spetses, a car-free ancient island rich in history dating back to 8000 BC. Spetses offers exploration by horse-drawn carriage, bicycle, motorcycle, or taxi, visiting secret bays, Bekiris cave, Vrelos sandy beach, and the Bouboulina Museum. Further island hopping from Costa includes Hydra, Poros, and Ermioni, each offering ancient Greek ruins and cultural experiences.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere’s lots to keep your younger ones occupied when you stay at Villa Petro, starting with the private swimming pool, where they can splash and play, and there’s no restricted hours when it’s your own. The villa has extensive gardens with lush green lawns, which is surrounded by walls, and tall trees, that give both shade and privacy, and your children can play safely all day. The pool and grounds are also lit up as soon as dusk falls, so a dip in the dark is a great treat too.
The surrounding coastline is noted for its many family-friendly sandy beaches and fun water sport activities, not to mention beautiful bays and secret coves to explore. A stay in Villa Petro isn’t complete without a family fun day at sea, sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling, and eating mixed mezes and freshly caught fish all aboard the boat. Charter your own yacht, or join a shared trip for some family fun on the water. Work off that excess energy with one of the many walking and hiking trails, discover the areas’ natural flora and fauna, and see the local villages close up where they can learn about their traditions, and sample homemade produce, such a Greek honey, herbs, and cheeses. Saddle up and ride your pony at one of the local riding stables, where your children can have lessons, or trot across the sands and gallop in the sea. There’s a local paddle boat school, which offers introductory lessons for beginners, and for the more experienced they can take you out to sea to hone your skills. Poseidon Sports will teach your older kids water sports, where they can test their sea legs with a spot of windsurfing.
The holiday town of Porto Heli is fabulous a family day out, with some souvenir shopping, and enjoying traditional Greek delicacies in child-friendly waterside tavernas. Venture further afield, and from the port of Costa take a ferry and explore the local area with a day of island hopping. Most notably the ancient island of Spetses is just across the sea, where you can take a horse drawn carriage to explore the local museums, churches and monasteries, harbours and lighthouses, beaches and bays. Every June there’s a yacht regatta, a mini marathon for children around the island is fabulous fun, and in September the Armata Festival re-enacts historical battles. After a day of activity gather the family together to watch a film under the stars at the open-air cinema in Porto Heli.
