Villa Gados sits above a sandy beach with shallow waters and stunning views, just a 20-meter walk from the villa’s front door. From the balconies and pool terrace, you can gaze out to the sparkling sea and even feel the refreshing sea breeze brushing past you as you relax in the sun. Down on the beach, each day kids can enjoy watersports and games, whilst adults stroll down the sand, cooling off in the refreshing sea.
The villa is located just 1km from the picturesque village of Vasiliki. Vasiliki is located near the center of South Lefkada, internationally known as one of the top-10 beaches for windsurfing around the world! For your day to day needs Vasiliki offers two supermarkets, plenty of cafes and restaurants as well as lively bars to enjoy nightlife. There are also bakeries where you can buy fresh bread, honey and other local products. Walking distance from the villa are a couple of local eateries along the beach, all with beautiful views perfect for relaxed meals as a family.
As you would imagine from the island location, boat trips are always popular with guests. Lefkada attracts visitors with yachts, international and locals alike, encouraging them to explore the hidden coves and bays along the spectacular coastline. From Vasiliki, you can catch a boat along to Agiofilli beach, a beautiful spot for peaceful holiday moments.
Aktion International Airport is 38km from the villa, as well as Athens International Airport 408km away. Lefkada, unlike many of the Greek islands, can be reached from the mainland via a causeway, so you can pick up your car at the airport and enjoy the stunning scenery on the drive down to the villa. A car will let you explore throughout your stay, with stunning beaches, luscious green valleys and soaring mountains making up the breath-taking landscape Lefkada has to offer. The Nydri waterfall is often a popular spot to stop, with a walking path weaving its way through olive and citrus groves and over rocks to the base of the falls, where you can swim in the refreshing water canyon – easily accessible for kids and adults alike!
When you are looking to head out to eat, Lefkada offers similar food to the mainland, with delicious Mediterranean feasts, all served up alongside stunning mountain and sea views! The local moussaka is always worth a try, as well as souvlaki, crusty bread and zingy dips! Combine all this with the friendly locals and relaxed, care-free atmosphere and all your stresses can melt away, enjoying every moment of your holiday.
