Description
|
|
'Villa Athina' is located in Porto Rafti which is an old fishing
village
that has kept its charm (and still has fresh fish landed every
morning),
while developing as a beautiful holiday resort that has not been
deluged
by too many tourists.
The house has a lovely garden and a patio with a large table,
chairs and barbecue. It is an ideal and attractive spot for enjoying
your meals.
There are two large L-shaped balconies, one on each of the top 2
floors
with panoramic views and table with chairs where you can rest and
enjoy
the sea and mountain views with a glass of the tasty local wine.
With one king en-suite, one double and two twin bedrooms, the villa is
ideal for families or 'get-togethers', with plenty in the surrounding
area to see and do during your stay. Athens with the Parthenon,
museums
and the flea market is a mere 38 kilometres away.
Porto Rafti is a seaside town, located in the
picturesque Porto Rafti Bay on the east coast of Attica. It is
conveniently placed near the new Athens International Airport (about
12 km) where you can also join the
Attiki Odos (new motor-way) and connections to the excellent new
Metro.
The area is rich in history. The port was a major trading place during
the Ancient times and continued so until the collapse of the Roman
Empire. As the town is surrounded by hills its weather is somewhat
distinct from the rest of Attica the climate is typically
Mediterranean
and resembles that of the Aegean Islands with relatively mild winters
and hot dry summers.
