Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior of Villa Chrysafgi Vathy Ithaca is where the island’s magic comes alive. A stunning infinity pool sits at the edge of the terrace, its water appearing to merge seamlessly with the deep blue of the Ionian Sea beyond. Sun loungers line the poolside, inviting you to spend long, unhurried hours basking in the Greek sunshine. For those who prefer shade, a covered terrace area provides a cool spot to read, sip local wine, or simply watch fishing boats trace their paths below.

Al fresco dining is a highlight here. A dedicated outdoor eating area, complete with barbecue facilities, sets the stage for unforgettable evenings under the stars. Imagine grilling freshly caught fish while the sun sinks behind Kefalonia, casting amber light across the water. A private spa and sauna area adds another layer of indulgence, allowing guests to enjoy restorative wellness without ever leaving the property. The villa also benefits from private parking, so exploring the island by car is effortless and stress-free. Lush Mediterranean planting surrounds the grounds, with fragrant herbs and olive trees lending an authentically Greek character to the landscape.

Exploring Ithaca and Beyond

Lefki, just moments from the villa, is a captivating village where whitewashed stone houses cling to the hillside amid ancient olive groves. The pace of life here is gloriously slow, and the local tavernas serve simple, exquisite Greek cuisine made from ingredients grown in the surrounding hills. The main harbor town of Vathy lies approximately 20 kilometers to the south and rewards visitors with a picturesque waterfront, traditional cafes, and the Archaeological Museum of Ithaca, which houses artifacts from the Mycenaean period.

Beaches on Ithaca are among the most unspoiled in the Ionian Islands. Afales Bay, roughly 10 minutes by car, is a sweeping arc of pebble and crystal-clear water backed by dramatic green cliffs. Kioni, about 15 kilometers away, is a postcard-perfect fishing village with waterfront restaurants and gentle swimming coves. Day trips by ferry to Kefalonia and its famous Myrtos Beach are easily arranged from the port of Frikes, located around 8 kilometers from the villa.
