Meganissi villa holidays

Will and Sally's verdict

You can rely on Greek Islands Club to find some of the most intimate villa retreats in the star-studded Aegean and Ionian, and with Villa Eleni we think they may have hit the jackpot. A supremely family-friendly property on the unspoilt island of Meganissi, Eleni has wonderful views and a great pool, and is just a short walk from the beach and its tavernas.

GIC The Villa Collection says

As your ferry from Levkas sails towards Meganissi past Skorpios, Onassis’s private island, you’ll know you’re about to arrive somewhere special.

We think that the tiny island of Meganissi, just 20 sq kms in size, is one of the most beautiful and traditional of the Greek Islands.

Our pick of the family-friendly properties on Meganissi is Villa Eleni. It nestles gently in the hillside village of Spartohori yet it’s only a ten-minute walk from the waterfront tavernas and beach at Spilia.

There are three en suite bedrooms, all with balconies that boast enviable views across the Ionian sea to the Greek mainland.

Villa Eleni has a wonderful family sized pool and barbecue, perfect for eating al-fresco by day or by night.

Ideal for families with children of all ages, days can be spent by the pool, wandering into Spilia or Spartohori for dinner or hiring a small boat to discover the island’s bays on a family adventure.

For parents with older children, you can take one of the regular ferries (only 20 minutes) over to Lefkas for the day, to try out Nidri’s various water sports.

Meganissi itself has much to offer such as walking, sailing, snorkelling, and even tennis. The famous Demon Caves at Spartohori are right on your doorstep.

There is something for everyone easily explored from your stunning villa base – what more could you or you family want?
