About the home

Picture yourself on a beautiful Greek island, relaxing on a beach side chaise on the terrace of your own private villa, under a sun-kissed sky with the sparkling blue Ionian Sea a few short steps away from you. A place so peaceful that you feel that the sea is your own private swimming pool. Feel your body relaxing in the warm sun, the cool sea breeze gently cascading over you and your stresses draining away. It’s not a dream! It’s Villa Almatheia on Zakynthos.

Be the first to stay in Villa Almatheia, a newly completed, stunning, attached, two storey villa in traditional architectural style each with it's own landscaped garden, sea frontage and access to the beach.

Villa Almatheia is located in Drosia, Kypseli on the beautiful island of Zakynthos and has spectacular unobstructed views of the Ionian Sea and Kefalonia .

Drosia is on the north east coast of Zakynthos between the resorts of Amoudi and Tsilivi. It’s a quiet, traditional area untouched by mass tourism and a relaxing place to enjoy your holiday amidst the natural greenery and beauty of Greece. The water here is clear and perfect for swimming. Although peaceful Drosia is conveniently located only 5kms from Tsilivi, 10kms from Zakynthos Town and 13kms from the Airport.

Villa Almatheia offers spacious and airy accommodation.

On the ground floor there is an open plan living/dining room with superb views, a fully fitted kitchen and a cloakroom with toilet and hand basin and a utility room for the washing machine/dryer. French doors from both living and dining areas give access to an open veranda with pergola, the garden and the sea.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms with floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and breathtaking sea views. French doors from both bedrooms give access to a balcony with pergola. There is a bathroom with toilet, hand basin and shower and a separate shower room with hand basin.

The private garden is arranged over two terraces. The upper terrace is laid to grass and has a stone paved patio with pergola where you can enjoy a barbecue or a relaxing drink. From the upper terrace 6 stone steps take you down to the open stone paved lower terrace which is perfect for sunbathing. From the lower terrace 4 stone steps take you down to the pebble beach and sea.

Spoil yourself, wake up each morning to spectacular sea views and spend every day swimming and relaxing by the beautiful clear waters of the Ionian Sea.

Almatheia is derived from the Greek word meaning to soothe.

The Ionian Islands region

Scattered along the west coast of mainland Greece the Ionian Islands are lush and green, with vast olive groves, tall cypress trees, imposing mountain landscapes, beautiful beaches and crystal clear blue waters. Each island has a natural beauty and a distinct tradition, cuisine and architecture.


Zakynthos has a varied terrain, with fertile plains in the south-eastern part and mountainous terrain with steep cliffs along the coasts on the west. The mild, Mediterranean climate and the plentiful winter rainfall accounts for the island's dense vegetation.

The Zakynthos / Kypseli area

Zakynthos, also known as Zante, the southernmost and third largest of the Ionian Islands, covers an area of 410 square kilometres (157 square miles) and its coastline is roughly 123 kilometres (76 miles) in length. The island is 40 km long, 20 km wide and its highest point is Vrachionas at 758 metres. According to the 2001 census, the island has a population of 38,957. The capital is the town of Zakynthos. The principal products are olive oil, currants, grapes and citrus fruit.

The island was named Fiore di Levante by its Venetian rulers meaning Flower of the East because of its exceptional beauty.

To the southwest is the National Marine Park of Zakynthos where loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are found in the bay of Laganas. Caretta is an endangered species. Every year beginning in June the female turtles come to the southern beaches in order to bury their eggs in the sand.

The western coast is refuge and breeding ground for another endangered species the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus).

The locals are renowned for their true Greek hospitality which, together with the excellent climate and enchanting beauty of the island, is probably why over 300,000 holidaymakers visit the island each year and return time and time again. Some never leave and the island is home to one of the largest populations of permanent foreign residents in Greece.

Climate
Zakynthos is the most southerly of the Ionian Islands and enjoys over 300 days of sun (over 8.5 hours per day) a year. The summers are hot and dry, often with a cooling breeze. Winters are short and mild with most rainfall between December and February but even during this time there are many days with cloudless skies.

Activities
There is something for everybody close by.

Enjoy the varied night life, tour the island, enjoy one of the many cruises around the island, shop or stroll in Zakynthos town, learn to sail, try diving, enjoy the many water sports, go fishing go cycling, go hiking, go horse riding or simply relax on one of the many beautiful beaches.

There are also an increasing number of eco-tourist activities available including a superb Catamaran Cruise in the Caretta-Caretta (Loggerhead) turtle habitat of Laganas Bay. Cruise from Zakynthos port to Porto Roma, around Gerakas Cape and towards Pelouzo Island through Laganas Bay to Keri and finally Marathonisi Island.

Take the time to enjoy the island you will never forget the beautiful blue waters and stunning scenery.
