Pleione is located on the bay of Sivota in the southeast of Lefkada. The village and harbour of Sivota, with its popular waterfront tavernas, bars and cafés, its shops, and its boat hire options, is an easy stroll away (about 500m).
Apart from the direct sea access at the bottom of the drive, Pleione is conveniently close to a good selection of beaches, including those at Afteli, Ammousa, Vassiliki and Mikros Gialos.
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 Cape Lefkatas on the southern tip. The wooded mountains of the interior, some of which rise to over 1,100m, 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 port of Nidri, to several of the other islands of the Ionian archipelago (including nearby Meganissi), making it eminently possible to explore further afield.

We had a truly special stay at Pleione and we will definitely be back. The setting was exceptional and we loved the layout and the swimming pool.

Amazing villa, the pictures don't do it justice!! Very close to town of Sivota (5 mins walk). Great service from start to finish.

Extraordinary villa, with hands down the best pool in Sivota. Very short walk to the quay. Lovely to have direct access to the water via the pontoon.

Pleione was outstanding, high quality, and the staff were great. We would definitely like to return. What stood out for us was the location and the view into the bay and marina, the outside eating area, and in particular the huge and deep infinity pool.

Pleione is in a great location to capture the views of the port, the sunshine and within a short walk to a good choice of tavernas. Would we return? Yes.
