Under The Olive Branch

Under The Olive Branch: Ionian Islands

Tucked away on a hillside between sleepy Agios Stefanos and vibrant Kassiopi, you’ll find this charming villa. This bright and airy holiday home is conveniently close to beaches, shops and tavernas, but its quiet hillside setting makes it a haven.

Sweeping views draw the eye at every turn, and trees and foliage add verdant hues to the colourful palette of this home. Lie in the sun taking in views of the turquoise sea beneath a powder blue sky dotted with the brightest white clouds. Inside, vast windows bring the vista into the home, so you’re never far from a photo opportunity. Take a siesta in the cool and comfortable open-plan living space, or enjoy a few moments of absolute peace and quiet on the balcony to your room.

We love dining on the terrace, whether it’s a banquet prepared by a private chef or a lazy barbecue as the sun dips in the sky and the stars emerge. Why not embark on a fishing expedition and feast on barbecued fish?

If dining out is more your scene, a ten-minute drive will give you all the variety that lively Kassiopi offers. Or, for a more tranquil evening, head to one of the tavernas at Avlaki Bay, just a five-minute drive from the villa.
