The Area
Galatea overlooks the southeast coast of Meganissi, just a few minutes' drive from Limonari beach and the little village of Katomeri, and about 5 minutes' drive from Spartochori and Vathi, this latter home to a picturesque harbour, tavernas, shops and boats to Lefkada island.
Meganissi covers just 20 square kilometres but has plenty to offer, with numerous bays and beaches to explore, sleepy white-washed villages, such as Katomeri or Spartochori, to wander around and lots of good walking paths in the centre of the island.
The two main harbours of Vathi and Spilia are great spots for dining on fish, whiling away an hour or two with a drink in hand or setting out on one of the frequent ferries to visit other islands in the Ionian archipelago.
Aktion/Preveza airport:
50-60min drive plus boat transfersNearest tavernas and shops:
Katomeri (3mins drive) or, for more options, Vathi or Spartochori (5mins drive)Nearest beach:
Limonari, at 5mins drive. There is a lovely small beach about a 20-minute walk down along an unmade path accessed to the side the house, but it's uphill on the way back and may not suit everyone.Local Experiences
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 Meganissi
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.

Our stay at Galatea was tremendous. We particularly loved the view, the location, and the proximity to the beach.

Our experience at Galatea was perfect, a definite place to return to. It was beautiful and exactly as advertised. We are in the process of booking for next year again with you as it was such a good holiday. We now want to bring the whole family back again. All in all, the best holiday we've had in years.

Galatea was an exceptional villa. Beautifully maintained and looked after. We could not fault it. The location and views were breathtaking, and it's a very easy villa to stay in. It's in a stunningly quiet area with uninterrupted views of the sea and islands beyond and a 15-minute walk through olive groves down to a very secluded bay. We could not have asked for more! We absolutely fell in love with Meganissi and the surrounding islands. We will be back!

I was so happy at Galatea, that I didn't want to go out and did not move my car for 2 entire weeks.

5 out of 5 for Galatea. The Local Concierge was fantastic.
