Reduced Occupancy

During the shoulder seasons, Villa Aetos has reduced prices for groups of up to 10 or 14 that only need up to 5 or 7 bedrooms. For the first option (up to 5 bedrooms), both the Guardhouse and the Studio will be closed. For the second option (up to 7 bedrooms), the Studio will be closed. In both cases the main villa, its amenities and its grounds will remain at the complete disposal of guests.

Outside

Located some 20km southeast of Corinth in the Peloponnese, Villa Aetos rises on its own hill in a private coastal estate of nearly 60 acres. The sense of privacy and tranquillity afforded by this unrivalled location is hard to leave, but should you wish to explore the area, there is a great deal on offer.

In terms of beaches (notwithstanding your virtually private beach below the house) there are numerous options within a five-to-ten-minute drive, including those at Siderona (excellent fish taverna included), Lichnari and Almyri. A little further afield is the popular beach of Loutraki on the other side of the isthmus from Corinth. Facing west, it is a good option for an afternoon swim.

For shopping, cafés and bars, head to the villages of Almyri (8mins) or Loutra Oraias Elenis (12mins), which have a decent selection of amenities between them.

Corinth, with its world-famous canal is well worth a visit or two, especially as it's only about 30 minutes away. The nearby archaeological site of Ancient Corinth, however, is a must-see, thanks to its numerous remains, which include a Temple of Apollo, a theatre, a Roman marketplace, baths and a sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius and Hygiene. Ancient Corinth was, of course, visited by St Paul several times during his peregrinations, and the Steps of the Apostle, where he is thought to have held forth, are also fascinating to see.

Other recommended day trips include the archaeological site and renowned theatre of Epidaurus, and Nafplio, a charming seafront town that was first capital of Greece during the War of Independence.

A good option if you have younger children in your group is The Ranch, a Wild West-themed park where it is possible to go horse-riding and take a train tour to see goats and deer and other sights.
