Home description
Villa Cara is beautifully positioned with elevated, breathtaking, uninterupted, panoramic sea views from all rooms in the quiet and peaceful area of Xigia yet is only minutes away from the sandy beach resorts of Alykes and Alykanas (suitable for families and couples) and the charming Port St Nicholas where you can get the ferry to Kephalonia or rent a boat to explore secluded bays, numerous sea caves and the world renowned Navagio ( Shipwreck Bay). There is a small private beach 80 m in front of the villa and close by the pretty beaches of Xigia (the sea there is said to have natural healing qualities) and Makris Gialos (so beautiful you will want to stay there forever). There is an excellent local taverna within two minutes walking distance and several outstanding tavernas just a few minutes drive along the coast road (Xigia Taverna at the top of the bay is a must). The nearest village, Orthonies, has a mini market and coffee shop. Volimes (10 mins drive) has more excellant traditional tavernas, a post office and some small shops offering hand made products such as carpets, leatherwear and pottery. Zakynthos capital town and port is a 20 minute drive away and is definitely well worth a visit for sightseeing, shopping and also more excellent tavernas. The villa has been furnished to an excellent luxurious standard and is set within its own gated gardens with private pool. There is an open plan kitchen/dining/living area (with log fire) and leading from the living room is a spacious terrace with stunning sea views and facilities for al fresco dining. There is one double and two twin bedrooms all with balconies with outstanding sea views.

The Ionian Islands region
Zante or Zakynthos as it is known, is one of the favourite Greek islands. The southernmost and reputedly sunniest of all the Ionian islands, Zakynthos is also the most fertile, colourful and quite possibly the most beautiful too. Fringed with magnificent sandy beaches (many with nothing more on their shores than a solitary taverna), lapped by crystal clear amethyst seas and with a backdrop of rugged mountains covered with forests and olive groves, few who visit could fail to be captivated by its natural charm.
Zakynthos / Xigia area
The towns of the island bustle and thrive with everyday life. The capital Zakynthos Town is beautiful and full of the influence of its Italian ancestors that it is regularly referred to as 'the Venice of the South'. Here tyou will find banks, museums, an outside cinema and the main hospital. Zakynthos is rich in beauty and tradition, both historical and cultural and it is this, combined with the famous Zakynthian hospitality, that has visitors returning to its shores year after year - including the Loggerhead turtle! As one of the last remaining nesting sites of the endangered 'Carreta-Carreta', to the south, the dramatic Gerakas peninsular has recently been designated the first protected marine park in the Mediterranean. To the north there are the blue caves which are popular with scuba divers and the famous Navagio Shipwreck bay - only accessible by sea.The Peligoni Club is only 10 minutes away, ideal for families, it offers sailing & windsurfing as well as bars and restaurant which are open to all.For water lovers and particularly children, there is Water World, about 15km away on the road to Zakynthos town
How to get there
BY AIR - Daily schedule and charter flights from all major airports May to October.As well as direct flights to the island you can also take a schedule flight to Athens: www.easyjet.com, www.ba.com, www.olympicairlines.com, then take the daily 45 min flight on to Zakynthos with Olympic Airlines.BYCAR/BUS - Alternatively, (and cheaper than the flight), a regular coach/ferry service runs from Athens Bus Terminal to Zakynthos Town.
