The Area

Ion is situated above secluded Balou Bay on the north coast of Meganissi, just a 20-minute walk from the seafront tavernas, shops and harbour of Vathi. This superb position may mean you will not wander too far from your comfortable surroundings, but should you wish to, Meganissi and its neighbouring island, Lefkada, are eminently visitable in a week and there are numerous bays and shingle beaches to explore.

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 Spartohori, 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.

An illustration of a guest book

What stood out about Ion? The location. The view is unparalleled. And it’s proximity to Vathi is also important for restaurants and socialising, but most of the time we were so happy to swim in the pool and gaze at the bay and the yachts coming and going.

JD September 2024

The outside of Ion was stunning. We would return.

Verified guest, June 2024

Ion was fabulous and in an excellent location. We particularly loved the view and the outside space. We would return.

Verified guest, July 2024

Ion makes for an easy week's holiday. We felt connected but wonderfully disconnected! We loved the access to the sea and sea activities, as well as access to touring the island with delivery of e-bikes and boat right to site. Great local support and advice.

Verified guest, August 2024

The location of Ion was superb. The outside space of the villa was equally superb, and was a perfectly backdrop for a wonderfully relaxed and comfortable stay. We would return.

Verified guest, September 2024

The setting, outdoor space and views at Ion were magical! The outdoor kitchen and private pontoon were the highlights. Would we return? Yes, the outdoor setup can't be beat! The privacy, the outdoor kitchen, the views - it was heaven! We also love Meganissi and how peaceful and relaxing it is.
