With its sleek interiors, its easy flow, and its large terrace above the sea, Atlas is a wonderful villa for those who enjoy the simple pleasures in life: swimming in an irresistible infinity pool, gazing at inspiring views, popping down to Sivota Bay for a dip, and, when the sun begins its descent, strolling into the harbour village to dine al fresco at the excellent seafront tavernas.

The Area
Atlas is located on the bay of Sivota in the southeast of Lefkada. The village and harbour of Sivota, with its popular waterfront tavernas, bars and cafés, its shops, its little beach and its boat hire options, is an easy stroll away (about 400m).
Apart from the sea access in Sivota Bay, there is a good selection of beaches within easy driving distance of Atlas, including those at Afteli, Ammousa, Vassiliki and Mikros Gialos.
Exploring the island of Lefkada, which is 35km long and 15km wide, is relatively easy in a week (if you can pull yourselves away from the views and pool of the villa!) and offers a great deal to see and do. The azure, transparent waters of the Ionian Sea are a real attraction and the varied coastline includes a host of golden sandy beaches and the dramatic white cliffs of Cape Lefkatas on the southern tip. The wooded mountains of the interior, some of which rise to over 1,100m, offer excellent walking, some truly beautiful scenery and a scattering of unspoilt villages where the way of life remains profoundly connected to the island's ancient traditions and customs. The island's capital, Lefkada Town is a buzzing centre with plenty of seafront tavernas and bars, a good selection of shops, and a busy marina.
At its northern point, Lefkada is connected to mainland Greece by a causeway and, via frequent ferry services from the port of Nidri, to several of the other islands of the Ionian archipelago (including nearby Meganissi), making it eminently possible to explore further afield.

Boat trips in Lefkada
The azure, transparent waters of the Ionian Sea are a real attraction and the varied coastline boasts a host of sandy beaches, secluded pebbly coves and dramatic white cliffs, such as those of Cape Lefkatas on the southernmost tip. Most beaches can be reached by car and a walk, though a few are only accessed via sea, a good excuse for hiring a boat for a day or two.
Discover
Boat trips in Meganisi
The north of Meganissi is home to a seemingly endless array of dreamy bays with transparent blue waters, golden beaches, and emerald pinewoods. The best way to explore them is by boat, and you have two options: either rent your own with the help of our Local Concierges (they know all the best people); or let our experienced Specialists arrange a day or two on board one of our skippered charters. The sense of freedom you experience from cruising around, dropping anchor, and diving into the irresistible sea is like nothing else.

Boat rental in Lefkada
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.
Discover
Cycling on Lefkada
Discover Lefkada’s stunning landscapes by bike. For more independent cyclists, renting a bike is great option, and you’ll have GPS with self-guided itineraries to point you in the right direction. One of our guided bike tours also makes a great addition to any stay in Lefkada, taking you onto the island’s hidden tracks in the company of experienced riders who know these trails inside out.

We would return to Atlas. This is the second time we have booked our villa with The Thinking Traveller, and have been super happy on both occasions. Thank you for wonderful experiences!
