The Area
Akrothea is set in a totally private 10-acre coastal estate, just to the south of Agios Ioannis on Meganissi's west coast. Its private sea access, offering excellent snorkelling and swimming opportunities, means you might not need to move far from home but there is also a shallow, secluded beach just a very short walk from the main gate.
A 20-minute walk along a pebble track and tarmac road will get you from the villa to Paradiso, an idyllic waterfront taverna set in a sheltered bay with small jetties to accommodate visiting boats.
* Il Paradiso will only open for lunch and not in the evenings.
Meganissi covers just 20 square kilometres but has plenty to offer, with numerous bays and beaches to explore, sleepy white-washed villages, such as Katomeri or Spartochori, to wander around and lots of good walking paths in the centre of the island.
The two main harbours of Vathi and Spilia are great spots for dining on fish, whiling away an hour or two with a drink in hand or setting out on one of the frequent ferries to visit other islands in the Ionian archipelago, such as neighbouring Lefkada, which you will spend many hours looking at from the villa!

Boat trips in Meganisi
The north of Meganissi is home to a seemingly endless array of dreamy bays with transparent blue waters, golden beaches, and emerald pinewoods. The best way to explore them is by boat, and you have two options: either rent your own with the help of our Local Concierges (they know all the best people); or let our experienced Specialists arrange a day or two on board one of our skippered charters. The sense of freedom you experience from cruising around, dropping anchor, and diving into the irresistible sea is like nothing else.

Boat rental in Meganissi
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.
