The Alexander Villa holds a wonderful position on the eastern side of Evia Island, set on the outskirts of the tranquil fishing village of Agii Apostoli. The picturesque village is just a few minutes’ drive away and is home to a small handful of excellent tavernas offering both delicious, traditional Geek cuisine and more international choices. Also in the village are two helpful supermarkets, a pharmacy, and a butcher, while the three beach bars make the perfect setting for lazy afternoons! The beach at Agii Apostoli features golden sands and calm blue waters, ideal for families. There are a selection of other excellent beaches in the surrounding area including, Stomio, Klimaki and Kalamos, all within a 40-minute drive of the villa.

The beautiful island of Evia is a remarkably accessible destination from the city centre of Athens, Athens International Airport and the ports of Piraeus or Rafina.

Frequently misperceived as part of the mainland due to its connection by two bridges (a modern suspended one and an old sliding one), Evia is the second-largest island in Greece after Crete. It is, in fact, separated from the mainland by the narrow Strait of Evripos.

The city is less than a 90-minute drive from Villa Apostoloi and is well worth a visit with its lively waterfront, lined with buzzing tavernas serving fresh, delicious seafood. History enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to the ottoman Karababa Castle – while it no longer protects the city, it still offers fantastic views from the top!

Slightly further afield, at just over a 2-hour drive away, is Greece’s iconic capital city, Athens. This ancient city is an absolute must-visit, bursting with instantly recognisable attractions including, The Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathenaic Stadium. Also worth visiting are the National Archaeological Museum, home to an astounding collection of Greek artefacts, the tranquil National Gardens which offer an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and finally, Lycabettus Hill, from which visitors can enjoy sweeping views across Athens. The magnificent Temple of Poseidon is a further half an hour away at Cape Sounio, originally built to guide sailors safely home, today, the towering columns look simply spectacular against a Greek sunset backdrop.
