The Area

Sitting in a supreme sea-view position on the northeast coast of Zakynthos, Aurora is well-placed for those who love the sea, beaches and exploring picturesque villages and towns. At just over 30km long and 20km wide, Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is easy to get around and many of the island's best spots are close to Aurora.

A 10-minute stroll from Aurora is the little harbour village of Agios Nikolaos. It may be small, but it offers most of what you will need on a day-to-day basis, including a beach, crystal clear waters, a minimarket, boat rental and a few tavernas and bars.

A few minutes' boat ride up the coast from Agios Nikolaos are the Blue Caves, a series of sea grottoes that are particularly well worth exploring in the morning when the eastern sun illuminates them with the sapphire colours of the sea. It's also a great spot for scuba diving and snorkelling.

Numerous lovely sandy beaches line the east coast, including those at Makris Gialos and Xigia (10-15mins) and Alykes (25mins).

Heading west across the island, meanwhile, you will soon come to Zakynthos's most popular, most spectacular and most photographed beach: Navagio. Taking its name from the shipwreck that has lain on its sand since the early 1980s, the sandy bay is surrounded on three sides by spectacular tree-topped white cliffs and is only accessible by boat. This sublime setting and the bay's transparent, electric blue waters attract the crowds in high summer, but it's most certainly a sight to behold, both from above and below.

In terms of villages and towns in the area, the unspoilt twin villages of Volimes (upper and lower) have some interesting buildings, including traditional stone-built houses, a windmill, a couple of churches and a 400-year-old monastery. There are also a few eateries, should you get peckish while exploring.

Slightly further afield, though still just a 40-minute drive down the coast, is the capital of Zakynthos, Chora (or Zakynthos Town). A few fascinating Venetian buildings survive, and its museums and galleries, vibrant summery atmosphere, and host of bars, cafés and tavernas make it an attractive proposition for a day out.

Aurora is perfect for a relaxing week. What stood out were its overall quality, its location and its amenities. Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Communication was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. We will be travelling again with you and the team.

Graham Donoghue June 2024

Aurora is exactly as shown on photos. Very high end. We also used the annex room, which is just as good to put someone in, (has AC + bathroom), if you have larger party, but not much advertised on line. Stunning views, especially of the sunrise. Staff super friendly and excellent looking after the villa day by day. All local bistros do delivery to the villa which was great when we didn't want to wander into town/or didn't want a big meal with in house dining (which was absolutely superb, all local cuisine cooked just right, definitely worth a go).

Mr Andrew Roberts, United Kingdom July 2022

Aurora is a stunning villa, magnificent. We felt like A-listers!!

TA, United Kingdom June 2022

Arriving at Aurora is like a scene from a James Bond movie. Absolutely outstanding in style, luxury and natural beauty. The extra magic comes from the villa manager, who left no stone unturned in personally ensuring that we had the most wonderful stay.

RS, United Kingdom September 2021

Aurora is a great house, no question - scale, quality, setting, etc. all first-rate and completely as advertised. The quantity and quality of the outdoor furniture was very good. Beds and linens great. Lots of quality options for making good coffee; you can laugh, but that's just so important in the mornings!

JG, United States of America October 2021

Aurora is a beautiful place. Fabulous, relaxing, and with beautiful views.
