Close to Vathy town in an unspoilt rural area stands the beautiful traditional stone house Mega Skinos. This house is the ultimate retreat to unwind and completely “get away from it all”. It is an ideal romantic location, where you can just lay back and relax in idyllic surroundings.

Your views are of the perfect Ithakan countryside. The gardens surrounding the house are superb, lemon and olive trees stand proudly with roses at their feet. Birds and butterflies are as captivated as we are, just close your eyes and listen to the harmony of nature - the gentle hum of the bee as she busies herself collecting her daily quota of the abundant pollen for her sweet honey, the sunlight as it plays with the gentle breeze sending dancing shadows on walls and diamonds in the pool.

The island of Ithaka was the beloved homeland of the mythical Odysseus, hero of Homer’s Odyssey, which became synonymous as the example of love felt for the land of one’s birth. We are convinced that after staying in this the quintessential Ithakan home you too will become captivated with the island’s charming qualities and like Odysseus’ return. There can be no better place to capture your heart than Villa Mega Skinos.

The villa, although newly built has all the ambience of an old stone house with a modern interior. There is a spacious living and dining room, and well equipped kitchen. Mega Skinos has two bedrooms, one double bedroom on the ground floor with en suite shower room and a twin bedroom on an open mezzanine incorporated into the eaves of the roof. The ground floor patio doors lead out to a large terrace area with views over the surrounding countryside. The villa is surrounded by natural shade from the olive trees. To the side of the villa is a well proportioned swimming pool and a large BBQ area fully equipped for al fresco living.

Mega Skinos is ideal for families and couples alike, a peaceful setting yet close to the hub of Vathy town.
