Designed by a local architect and constructed in 1995 to the owners' specifications, Villa Keona enjoys superb views over Karystos Bay towards the Island of Kea.
Two miles from the traditional fishing port of Karystos, this Greek villa is located on the outskirts of a tiny village called Aetos, which has six tavernas and a small supermarket.
Although the second largest Greek island, Evia (or Euboea to a Greek) is relatively unknown and generally untouched by tourist development or the package holiday trade. A long, narrow island it is connected to mainland Greece by a road bridge at Halkida, the northerly island capital. A number of delightful mountain and seaside villages are within easy distance. There are marvellous walks round the surrounding villages up to the quarry with the columns at Kallindri and to the Dragon Houses on the top of Mount Ochi or along the coast, with views towards Andros, Tinos and Mykonos.Flora and fauna are shown in their greatest beauty by the local sunshine, especially at dawn and as the sun goes down.
Evia does not belong to any specific island group. The north, around Halkida resembles Skiathos and the Sporades group. To the south it becomes more like the Cyclades group, which stretch from the tip of Evia to Andros and on to Santorini.
Neighbouring islands are accessible from a number of Evia's ferry ports. A hydrofoil links picturesque Kimis to the Sporades group. Seasonal hydrofoils also sail from Karystos to Mykonos and Andros and there are more sailings from Rafina. Hire cars are now available from Karystos, as well as Athens Airport. Whilst far from essential, they are certainly the best way to explore further afield on this historic and beautiful island. Bicycles and mopeds can be hired locally.
Putting their feet up and enjoying total relaxation has proved equally popular with many of our clients.
