This charming stone-built house, Villa Velanidia, provides an enchanting retreat for two, conveniently located within walking distance of the historic village of Amnatos and its traditional taverna. Situated amidst extensive private grounds filled with citrus and olive groves, the villa is surrounded by majestic oak trees from which it derives its name. The outdoor dining terrace serves as a delightful spot for breakfast, especially after a refreshing dip in the pool. Spending the entire day in blissful seclusion is an option, with opportunities to relish sea views from the gardens and terrace. In close proximity, you'll find the historically significant monastery of Arkadi and the Kapsaliana Village Hotel, which highlights traditional crafts, cuisine, and architecture. Additionally, this location serves as an excellent base for exploring the Roman city of Eleftherna and the ceramics center of Margarites.
