What a gem. Villa Athena is the perfect haven to relax and recharge. There are so many beautiful spaces to enjoy and move between - in sun, in shade, to eat, drink, swim, read, chat or play fiercly competitive backgammon tournaments...that we didn't even go out for 2 days! But when we did we were not disappointed. Walks through the olive groves in the cool of an early evening breeze, the exquisite Arkadi monastery with its heartbreaking history, stunning south coast beaches, the picturesque amari valley...to name a few. Still so much more to be discovered. We so hope to return very soon. Dimitrios is the perfect host. Everything has been thought of in terms of comfort and facilities and he was available at a half hours notice if we needed anything...we didn't. It was a true privelege to experience this very special home so full of warmth and beauty. A holiday that will not be forgotten for many years to come.
