The Varko Villas command a privileged position on the Greek mainland, providing uninterrupted views across the Ionian Sea towards Kalamos, Meganissi, and Lefkada. The immediate surroundings, characterized by natural beauty and tranquillity, make these villas an enticing choice for those seeking contemporary comfort in an untouched setting, with a spectacular shingle beach just a brief two-minute walk away.
Among the three thoughtfully designed villas overlooking Varka Bay, Afroditi stands out as an ideal retreat for a couple seeking a romantic escape. The stylish open-plan living area and balcony on the upper level offer the perfect vantage point to savour the extraordinary blue vista. Meanwhile, the stylishly appointed bedroom on the ground floor boasts a delightful view across the pool and garden, equally appealing in its charm.
The dreamy location invites a slower pace of life, providing an opportunity to immerse oneself in total relaxation. For the more adventurous souls, the area has much to offer. Varko's lovely beach and pristine waters are a paradise for snorkelling enthusiasts, and a private jetty is at guests' disposal for those eager to hire a boat. Whether setting off for lunch on Meganissi or Lefkada, venturing to the enchanting islands of Kalamos and Kastos, or exploring the picturesque inlets of the mainland coast, the possibilities are endless.
A short 10-minute drive from the villa leads to the quaint village of Pogonia, home to two traditional tavernas and a kafeneio—a perfect place to savour regional produce and experience a warm welcome (philoxenia) from the locals. Extending the journey by another ten minutes brings you to Palairos, a coastal town in Greece's Etoloakarnania region, offering an abundance of bars, restaurants, cozy cafés, bakeries, and well-stocked supermarkets. History enthusiasts can explore the Mycenaean ruins of Ancient Palairos nearby, delving into Greece's rich past and uncovering the ancient secrets of the area. Slightly further along the coast is Mytikas with its spectacular 4km beach and ferry service to Kalamos and Kastos.
The inclusion of the Varko Villas in our Greece program is a source of delight. Located a 45-minute drive from Lefkada Town, they introduce Simpson clients to a new and exciting part of the mainland while providing easy access to the well-established and ever-popular islands of Lefkada and Meganissi.
