Avaton

Located just over 2km from the authentic Greek fishing village of Agia Efimia, Avaton is an ideal base for experiencing traditional island life whilst also being within easy proximity of the famous Mrytos Beach (7.2km), with its dramatic cliff tops, white pebbles and turquoise waters, and Antisamos with its array of water sports.

Its wonderful, elevated position allows guests to enjoy breathtaking views across Ionian waters and towards the mystical island of Ithaca in the distance. With various outdoor sitting and dining areas to choose from, exterior living at Avaton is taken to a new level.

Steps lead up from the private parking area to the main accommodation. The chic interior, with its contemporary lighting and fixtures, creates an elegant and welcoming environment. The open plan living space, decorated in neutral and earthy tones, provides a fresh look with an air of sophistication. The kitchen is accessed via steps from the living area and doors either side lead to the comfortable bedrooms which are finished with crisp linens, contemporary furniture and both enjoy direct exterior access.

Agia Efimia is home to a pretty harbour which has been tastefully preserved and maintains its traditional character to this day. Here you can enjoy a meal in one of the many family run tavernas or waterside cafés, all serving delicious Greek delicacies such as moussaka and souvlaki, as well as the catch of the day. Fishing boats and rental boats alike are a plenty within the marina. Alternatively, stroll down one of the jasmine scented backstreets with bakeries and gift shops.

For those days when you can prise yourself away from the wonderful infinity pool, the seashores of Lithovatis (Paradise Beach), the secluded Sikidi Bay and Kapsolimionas Beach are just a short drive away. Other significant places of interest to visit include the sparkling Melissani Lake (9km) and the mesmerizing Drogarati Caves (14km).
