The house with its toes in the sand
With its modern good looks, its hypnotic sea-and-island views, its pool and its garden gate access to a sandy beach, Eolia has much to commend it. It also offers a liberating sense of freedom, thanks to its location: you can stroll into Nikiana for a morning coffee and a pastry, toast your fortune with an aperitif at a local seafront bar, and dine out at the taverna on the beach below the house.

Eolia is situated on a sandy beach just a few hundred metres outside the village of Nikiana on the east coast of Lefkada, and a 15-minute drive from Lefkada Town.
Apart from the taverna on the beach below the house, there are plenty of other options, as well as shops, bars, water sports facilities and boat hire within a 10-minute walk.
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 enchanting beaches and the dramatic white cliffs 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.

Eolia was the perfect villa for an incredible holiday. The location is perfect - on the beach and your own restaurant below. The owners were so accommodating and went out of their way to look after us.

Eolia is a fantastic villa for a quiet holiday to relax but still with lots of things to do. The service was excellent and communication throughout the stay was amazing. What stood out were the views and the accommodation. We would return.

Eolia's location provides the perfect balance of privacy with fantastic views yet only a short walk to Nikiana. Direct beach access with swimming in the crystal clear sea was enjoyed by all. The Taverna, just along the beach, with its generous portions and friendly staff became a favourite. Perfect for relaxing family time.

Eolia was great - the views and setting are fantastic and it's great to have three en-suite bedrooms. Our holiday was very relaxing and peaceful. This was our 4th Thinking Traveller holiday and I love your villas - we can be certain of a great standard and your website is excellent.
