Eolia

Nikiana, Lefkada

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.

An illustration of a guest book

We had the most wonderful stay at Eoila. The villa is gorgeous and the location right on a beautiful little beach is perfect. The lovely beach restaurant is a bonus meaning most days we didn’t have to leave the villa and beach, with everything we needed on our doorstep. Super helpful local support and recommendations. Our Local Specialist booked the most incredible table for us at Rachi restaurant where we watched the most amazing sunset - it was very special. We can’t recommend The Thinking Traveller and a Eoila enough!

Eolia was the perfect villa for our family holiday. Superb location with direct access to the beach, a lovely pool for quiet swims, and a taverna for an easy dinner on the beach below. Also the villa layout was perfect and all bedrooms had views and ensuites. This was our fourth time with The Thinking Traveller and once again a terrific experience.

Eolia is delightful, you couldn’t ask for anything more of the villa or its location. Would we return? Yes, everything about this villa is perfect. That’s why this was our second visit.

The Area

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.
