First of all, what a fantastic villa !
We were 4 adults & 4 children in this villa, the space we had was unbelievable, everything in the description of the villa is available and the view is fantastic. We rented 4 scooters we driven around the whole island, a car/scooter is a must if you want to see the island. Lourdas, nice place with many restaurants & markets, we have eaten there often, always good & fresh, only 5 min walk from the villa. the coast and the beaches that you see from the villa are great. Argostoli as with many waterfront towns, is a hive of activity all along it with tavernas restaurants, shops & an excellent fresh fruit and vegteble market open every day if you need to buy something. This is where you will find it, and if you're lucky you can see turtles in the port (we have seen them !). Lassi is a popular destination for all holidaymakers, with nice beaches. Myrtos beach, is magnificent, a true paradise ! the water is as clear as glass and you see the bottom perfectly. The setting is spectacular, but it's not a great place for playing in the sea. Sami , fantastic ride through the mountains and the beach of Antisamos is great, with a beautiful view of the mountains full of trees, and also very clear water. Skala, touristic, long beaches, many water sports, and a Roman villa. Lourdas, great beach & restaurants, we rent a boat for 80 euros a day, good snorkelling, fishing and we saw dolphins !! (Fantastic) !! It is certainly not the last time we have been in this Villa . GREAT, WE WILL CAME BACK !!
