Gazing out to sea from amongst its olive trees, Epipleon combines just about everything that is desirable about a holiday home: flexible space, bright, calming interiors, relaxing gardens, a dreamy al fresco dining area and that most delicious of watery trilemmas: to spend more time swimming in the sea, floating in the infinity pool, or wallowing in the plunge pool.

The Area
Epipleon lies in the northwest of Lefkada, just two kilometres along a typical mountain road from the little village of Tsoukalades, which is home to a couple of shops and a few tavernas. A short stroll below the house is a gorgeous sandy-pebbly beach. A 15-minute drive away is the capital, Lefkada Town, which has a great buzz in the summer, thanks to its host of restaurants, bars and shops and its marina. A short drive south will take you to the azure waters and sandy beaches of Pefkouli, Agios Nikitas, Milos and Kathisma. Inland from Epipleon there is some excellent walking, with mountains rising to over 1,100m, 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.
Lefkada measures 35km from its northern tip to the dramatic white cliffs of Cape Lefkatas in the south and just 15km from east to west. This being the case, it is relatively easy to explore in a week (if you can pull yourselves away from the views and pool of the villa!). At its northern point the island is connected to mainland Greece by a floating bridge and, via frequent ferry services from the ports of Nidri and Vasiliki, to several of the other islands of the Ionian archipelago (including nearby Meganissi), making it eminently possible to travel 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.

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.

Epipleon is a wonderful villa with amazing sea views. It is great for a smaller group and the outdoor spaces are great. Very nice touches throughout the house. The caretaker was fantastic.
