About this villa rental

Our villa is situated within one minute's walk from the beach, in an idyllic location near the house of celebrated author Nikos Kazantzakis. The residence has been designed with every attention to detail, beautifully decorated in a traditional island style, while at the same time offering all the amenities of a comfortable and relaxing home away from home.

The villa has two bedrooms, a spacious kitchen / living-room area and a bathroom. One bedroom has a double bed, the other has two single beds, and they are both equipped with ample wardrobe space. The kitchen features a very large fridge-freezer, full cooker, dishwasher, laundry, granite worktops, and a microwave for cooking, as well as some other useful appliances (kettle, cafetière, panini toaster, blender). The living room has two very comfortable sofas, a two-seater and a three-seater. The house is air-conditioned and includes Wi-Fi internet access. A cot can be added upon request to accommodate a toddler. You will have access to a private balcony/terrace that can be used for al fresco dining, as well as a beautiful garden.
The apartment is on the ground floor and you can enjoy the garden and outside shower for whenever you come back from the beach.
Also since 2022 Aegina island has drinkable tap water. Water comes from Athens and Marathona.

Aegina is an island in the Saronic Gulf, a little bit outside of Athens. The origins of its name can be traced to mythological times, when Aegina, the daughter of the river god Asopus and the nymph Metope, was a mistress of Zeus. It is an island rich in history, spanning many eras and civilisations, from the Antiquity and Byzantine period all the way to Frankish, Venetian and Ottoman rule. Aegina served as the capital of Greece from 1828 to 1829, is rich in culture, and features many historical sites such as museums and the temple of Aphaea, the temple of Hellanios Zeus, the Ioannis Kapodistrias museum, and the monastery of Agios Nectarios.

Being close to Athens (45-90 minutes from the port of Piraeus, depending on the boat), Aegina is an excellent staging point for day-trips and excursions. Day-trips to Athens to visit the Acropolis, museums, and various other historical sites are highly recommended, as are trips to the ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. Let us know if you are interested and we will of course assist you with making arrangements!

Very good stay, great host. Property was spacious and well equipped. Good location, central enough but a quiet area.

This place is a great choice for Aegina. The house is spotless, comfortable and has a real homely feel to it. It is one minute away from the sea and under 10 minutes drive from Aegina town and the port. Clea and Philip were extremely polite and very fast at responding! Overall a highly recommended choice for Aegina.

We were made to feel very welcome by the owners of this beautiful and artistically decorated house which has everything you could need - fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and bedrooms with good quality linen/towels as well as 2 charming outdoor areas - one with a stunning sea view. The beach, which has one of the only sandy areas close to Aegina town, is one minute's walk away at the bottom of the road and the owners provide all the added luxuries - beach towels, chairs, parasol and even children's beach toys. The house is situated in a very peaceful location and for those without a car, it is a good 40/50 minute walk into Aegina town along the coastal road but the views are breathtaking, especially at sunset. There is a slightly shorter walk via the inland road. We took taxis to return to the house at night time (5 Euros) - ask them to take you to (or collect you from) Polisporis, the cafe/bakery round the corner, as this is well known. The cafe sells fresh bread and there is a small co-operative a little further away that has basic groceries and some fresh fruit/veg as well as wine and olive oil from the barrel. The closest Restaurant (Delphini) is good and reasonably priced. It was very quiet when we were there as it was towards the end of the season but they were happy to cook just for us. We found it helpful that Klea, the owner's mother was staying in the upstairs flat. We received friendly advice and support from her (she kindly collected us and took us back to the port at the start and end of our holiday) and she respectfully allowed us to enjoy complete privacy. This is a lovely place to stay on a delightful island.

This is a very beautiful house very close to the sea in a quiet place not far from the port of Aegina. It's a great opportunity to live like locals in a peaceful and safe neighborhood, not a "touristy" place: buy freshly-baked bread from a friendly grocer, watch the sunset from the terrace, go for a walk along the sea. On the other hand - just five minutes by car and you are in the town of Aegina, full of small cosy tavernas, local designer shops and yachts in the port.The villa is really close to the sandy beach, less than a minute's walk and there are towels and beach chairs for use. The sea is clean and turquoise, shallow near the shore which is great for kids. The house is vey clean and comfortable, with everything you may need and even more. There is a small garden around the house and an open veranda in the garden to have meals and have rest.The owner lives in the same house upstairs, she is very kind, discreet and interesting to talk to!The island has a lot to offer - you may go and see the remains of the medieval town in the mountains, archeological site of Aphea Temple or visit a museum of modern sculpture - full information on what to see and do on the island is available in the house, with the useful telephone numbers and names of shops and tavernas.Большой красивый дом с садом очень близко от моря - пляж совсем крошечный, практически на дороге, но песчаный, очень чистый и практически безлюдный (купается только несколько местных пенсионеров и мам с детьми). В этом месте нет туристов, что для нас было большим плюсом, очень спокойно, рядом, в шаговой доступности, булочная со свежим хлебом каждое утро и основным набором продуктов. Владельцы очень предупредительны, дружелюбны, готовы помочь, совсем не мешают. Мы ездили с тремя шумными детьми - и чувствовали себя как дома!На острове есть, что посмотреть и куда съездить. Очень красивый порт, вкуснейшее домашнее фисташковое мороженое, фисташковые рощи и горы в центре острова, отлично сохранившийся храм Афеи - первый классический храм в Греции.
