Vissala Village is a residence of five comfortably furnished houses, built of wood and stone. The site takes its name from an ancient ceramic industry, in ancient Greek Vissala meaning "broken pottery". Each of the houses in Vissala Village offers discreet independence. With 50m² of living space, they benefit from individual swimming pools and private parking in a landscaped environment. The wooden interiors provide a warm atmosphere. We know how much wooden houses have the property of providing comfort adapted to all climatic conditions.
The half-timbered architecture blends perfectly with the environment. This construction principle, unique in Greece, is typical of Lefkas. It has aroused the interest of a large number of observers and researchers. The wood used is mainly whole trunks of cypresses coated with pitch and bitumen. This treatment gives the structure a long life. Some houses on Lefkas date from the eighteenth century.
On the mezzanine there is the bedroom and the bathroom. The first floor of each villa has a living room with a kitchen and a toilet. The sofa can be converted into a standard double bed or two single beds. It is a fully equipped and functional independent country house (washing machine, dishwasher, ceramic stove, oven, microwave, large capacity refrigerator), with full equipment, air conditioners, solar heating, television and satellite internet.
The villa is easily accessible to two entrances from the provincial road. The island of Lefkas is easily accessible by the bridge that connects it to the mainland. The approach is facilitated, to the north, by the Aktion-Preveza underwater tunnel. Aktion airport is only 40km away.
