About the home
Porta del mar is a small family-run resort of 8 stone villas for summer holidays with direct access to a sandy beach. The villas are self-catered and accommodate up to 6 persons (1 or 2-bedroom villas). They all form a horse shoe design, facing towards the sea and are traditionally and tastefully decorated. Amazing sea views are obtained from both the gardens and inside the villas!
All villas have spacious living rooms, large bedrooms with queen-size beds or twin single beds, all with solid, wooden ceilings and air-condition. Fully equipped kitchens include cooker, big fridge/freezer, wooden table that seats 4-6 and a full range of utensils. Their verandas are spacious and offer panoramic sea views. The villas are situated directly on our sandy, quiet beach and are surrounded by well kept and relaxing gardens. The beach is safe for children and the waters are clear, crystal and rather shallow. Everything you need lies within short walking distance from the villas (groceries, bakery, taverns).
Why to choose us for your vacation?
You will not find such an idyllic spot anywhere on Zakynthos Island.
On the sea, surrounded by well kept gardens, a perfect place to relax and soak up the sun.
Having your own privacy in your villa, you will never feel alone or helpless. Our family and stuff will
always be available for your needs 24/7.
In respect to the accommodation? Every one of our villas has its unique style and decoration.
The strong, authentic stone built with the wooden ceilings create a unique atmosphere and will keep you live and fresh when it's too hot outside.

Share videoThe Ionian Islands region
The Ionian Islands are located in the Ionian Sea, in the western part of Greece. The Ionian Sea is also called the Adriatic sea. The Ionian are some of the most popular Greek islands and attract a lot of people from all over Europe. They are composed of Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Paxoi and Kythira. These islands are known for their beautiful beaches, their charming villages and their verdant landscapes.
The Zakynthos / Amoudi - Psarou Beach area
Psarou-Beach area is situated between the resorts of Amoudi and Tsilivi, on the North East coast of Zakynthos Island and is just 12 km away from Zante town.
You will not find a more idyllic spot anywhere on the island. Porta del mar villas are a quiet and peaceful haven, located over the Ionian Sea, where on a clear day you can see out to the island of Kefalonia. The pretty cove exactly next to the villas provides a safe beach for children and crystal clear waters.
The surrounding unspoilt countryside provides interesting walks through the beautiful olive fields. Within walking distance (50 – 200 meters long) you can find many local, family-run Greek taverns, mini-markets and a bakery for your daily needs. To explore Zakynthos Island, car/bike hire is available.
The weather in Zakynthos (Zante) is a typical Mediterranean climate consisting in hot, sunny summers and mild, rainy winters. Known to be one of the sunniest places in Greece, rainy days in summer are very rare in the island of Zakynthos.
During winters, rainfall is quite high as is the level of humidity; those are the reasons of the extreme fertility. Zakynthos is much greener than many other Greek islands and the climate is favourable for the cultivation of olives, citrus fruits and wines.
Average daily temperatures:
April: 20°C | May: 24°C | June: 28°C
July: 31°C | August: 32°C | September: 28°C | October: 23°C
The weather in April is most of the times nice and sunny. Zakynthos Island looks amazing as spring time goes by. Flowers are blooming, spring colors are everywhere in the green fields and the views are fantastic. In May, days are even longer, nature is bright, and the sea water is starting to get really warm (we also start swimming in late April). In June, July and August, the warmest months of the season, the morning and evening temperature is usually excellent but during the day, it can be hot. All night long you can enjoy Greek food and drinks sitting in a T-shirt on nice taverns or bars next to the sea!
October is mostly sunny and warm with a small possibility of rainfall. The sea-water however is warmer than in May with a bit cooler evenings.

Dear Tasos,
Hi Pavlina, Tasos & Elina,
I'm really sorry that I've not written sooner, I've spent the last few days trying to catch up on everything that built up while I was away !
I just wanted to say how very grateful we all were for our fantastic holiday with you. We had an amazing time, and really felt so well looked after the whole time. The kids all came back relaxed, tanned and well fed, as did I ! We are all (Olga twice as much now that she has seen all of the photos !) looking forward to our return next year.
Please let us know if you are in the Oxford area at any point, and we'd be very happy to see you !
Kind Regards & Many Thanks,
Si, September 2010

We were talking to Constanze and Christoph and we were wondering, if we should come and stay next year. I know this is a little early, but we were thinking about, taking some friends with us.
Again Thank You for those fantastic days!!! It's awful, f. cold in Austria since we are back

Dearest Tasos and Pavlina,
It's only been a few days but we miss you so much already. I was so sad when we came home, on Monday I made a Stifado to make ourselves feel better! I will post a message on the forum soon, once I work out how to do it, to let you know how very happy we were on our holiday. I think it is the best holiday we have ever had.
Anyway, I wanted to book our flights etc. for next year so I wanted to confirm that we have Melite booked from 17th August to 31st August 2008. I was wondering if you could please let us know how much Melite will be for the two weeks so that we can budget for it?
... it's very cold here today. Oh well, here's looking forward to next year!
Annabel and Sebastian are sending their love to you both, as are we.
Kate and Steve Collie.
