The Fisherman's Refuge

The Fisherman's Refuge: Ionian Islands

Found right on the beach, this old fisherman’s refuge exemplifies island living with its rustic decor, oceanfront location, and connection to nature. Perfect for a romantic getaway, you can get up to watch the sunrise from the terrace before making a quick breakfast to enjoy alfresco with a strong cup of coffee.

Take afternoon naps together in the fresh ocean breeze and at night, keep the window slightly open so the lapping waves can be your lullaby. Spend long, lazy days on the sand of the beach right on your doorstep and when you’re dining at sunset, enjoy the achingly beautiful view of the spilling colours right above the deep blue of the sea.

Drive six minutes to Kassiopi Castle, where you can admire the old ruins, before sitting down for lunch at the local taverna. You'll also find yourself tempted by four small beaches, so dip a toe in and hit the local food market for fresh produce afterwards.

Solo trips can be spent reading on the sunlounger, strolling the beach, exploring the local restaurants, and hitting the closest bar after sunset.

End every evening under the stars as you make yourself comfortable around the fire with a glass of wine.
