Homer's Acropolis

Consider waking up to the warm sun on your face, the scent of fresh flora, and views of undulating luscious greenery. This villa is paradise and more. Nestled in the herbaceous Agios Sostis landscape, this home overlooking Lagana Bay is an idyllic retreat for a family or group of friends seeking a quintessential Zakynthos experience.

Inside, a modestly traditional and thoughtfully modern interior awaits. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow the Ionian Ocean light to flood into the traditional-beamed space and neutral tones reflect the calm island disposition. It’s easy to pass the time lost in your new summer read on the plush sofas or lounging in your poolside hammock, breathing in the salt-perfumed breeze.

We’re sure you will be wanting to spend most of your time soaking in the sun on your sand-blasted terrace, but if you can pull yourself away, head to Agios Sostis Harbour. Here, you can cross the sea-grazing path to reach the crystalline waters of Cameo Island – it's a picture of paradise.

Come sunset, you’ll want to be nestled around the outdoor dining table, enjoying a grilled barbecue dinner of octopus and a crisp glass of local Verdea wine.
