The owner's choice of Dolphin Point as the location for his villa was an inspired one! Set in over four acres of fragrant Mediterranean countryside, with far-reacing views over the Ionian archipelago and direct sea access to where the dolphins come to play, it is no wonder guests staying here never want to leave!

The Area
Althea is situated in the south of Lefkada, on the suggestively named Dolphin Point, just outside the village, tavernas and harbour of Sivota (a 20-minute walk away along an unlit road), and within an easy drive of many beaches, including those at Mikros Gialos and Vasiliki.
Exploring the island of Lefkada, which is 35km long and 15km wide, is relatively easy in a week (if you can pull yourselves away from the views and pool of the villa!) and offers a great deal to see and do. The azure, transparent waters of the Ionian Sea are a real attraction and the varied coastline includes a host of golden sandy beaches and the dramatic white cliffs of Cape Lefkatas on the southern tip. The wooded mountains of the interior, some of which rise to over 1100m, offer excellent walking, some truly beautiful scenery and a scattering of unspoilt villages where the way of life remains profoundly connected to the island's ancient traditions and customs. The island's capital, Lefkada Town is a buzzing centre with plenty of seafront tavernas and bars, a good selection of shops, and a busy marina.
At its northern point, Lefkada is connected to mainland Greece by a causeway and, via frequent ferry services from the ports of Nidri and Vasiliki, to several of the other islands of the Ionian archipelago (including nearby Meganissi), making it eminently possible to explore further afield.
