Location
About the surrounding area of The Alexander VillaThe Alexander Villa holds a wonderful position on the eastern side of Evia Island, set on the outskirts of the tranquil fishing village of Agii Apostoli. The picturesque village is just a few minutes’ drive away and is home to a small handful of excellent tavernas offering both delicious, traditional Geek cuisine and more international choices. Also in the village are two helpful supermarkets, a pharmacy, and a butcher, while the three beach bars make the perfect setting for lazy afternoons! The beach at Agii Apostoli features golden sands and calm blue waters, ideal for families. There are a selection of other excellent beaches in the surrounding area including, Stomio, Klimaki and Kalamos, all within a 40-minute drive of the villa.
The beautiful island of Evia is a remarkably accessible destination from the city centre of Athens, Athens International Airport and the ports of Piraeus or Rafina.
Frequently misperceived as part of the mainland due to its connection by two bridges (a modern suspended one and an old sliding one), Evia is the second-largest island in Greece after Crete. It is, in fact, separated from the mainland by the narrow Strait of Evripos.
The city is less than a 90-minute drive from Villa Apostoloi and is well worth a visit with its lively waterfront, lined with buzzing tavernas serving fresh, delicious seafood. History enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to the ottoman Karababa Castle – while it no longer protects the city, it still offers fantastic views from the top!
Slightly further afield, at just over a 2-hour drive away, is Greece’s iconic capital city, Athens. This ancient city is an absolute must-visit, bursting with instantly recognisable attractions including, The Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathenaic Stadium. Also worth visiting are the National Archaeological Museum, home to an astounding collection of Greek artefacts, the tranquil National Gardens which offer an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and finally, Lycabettus Hill, from which visitors can enjoy sweeping views across Athens. The magnificent Temple of Poseidon is a further half an hour away at Cape Sounio, originally built to guide sailors safely home, today, the towering columns look simply spectacular against a Greek sunset backdrop.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe Alexander Villa makes an excellent choice for families travelling with children, who are bound to enjoy splashing around in the private pool under the Greek sunshine. It's key to note the villa itself is on a edge and therefore children shouldn't be left to explore outside, without supervision and the pool isn't gated. However, the area offers a number of family-friendly, sandy beaches can be found in the surrounding area, as well as helpful supermarkets and tavernas serving delicious meals.
Evoia, the second largest Greek island, makes a fabulous choice for families looking to really enjoy the great outdoors, with endless opportunities for exploring. The island boasts varied topography with endless beaches, forests, and imposing mountains, it is a haven for adventurers with lots of opportunity for hiking, cycling and water sports. For older children or teens, an educational visit into Athens, just over two hours away by car, is an absolute must, with it’s numerous iconic, historical attractions and museums.

How long have you owned the property?
21 years.
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
When looking for a location to build a house, we wanted to find a village that was a traditional fishing village. This was a perfect location and the views were breathtaking. There was no way we could let this opportunity pass us by. This was to be our home away from home.
For anyone coming to stay is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
Really do?
As it is 2 hours from Athens – I have a contact who can arrange private tours of historical sights. She is a registered tour guide and also specialist in Greek classic civilisation. There is scuba diving available and boat tours.
Really eat?
There are many restaurants in the village, all with sea views. Favourites include Argo Hotel and Studios which is a family run business and Makis Kanaris was the owner of “Simos’ restaurant in Athens. Serving traditional food with a beautiful atmosphere.
Stomio Beach restaurant offers a more international cuisine.
There is a meat restaurants and fish restaurant, and Gyros restaurants and a couple of tavernas serve souvlaki.
3 beach bars which are next to one another in the village.

A truly wonderful two weeks at the villa. It's such a beautiful location with stunning views. We very much enjoyed spending our days lounging by the pool and having big lunches and dinners under the canopy. We also enjoyed the village and the local beaches. All the locals were extremely hospitable and welcoming especially Makis! Some wonderful memories have been made at The Alexander Villa! Thank you!
