The Area
Hippokampoi is located in an enviable position above, and with easy access on foot to, a secluded bay on the north coast of Meganissi. A 5-minute drive will get you to the seafront tavernas, shops and harbour of Vathi. Meganissi and its neighbouring island, Lefkada, are eminently visitable in a week.
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.

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.

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.

Hippokampoi is a beautiful villa, with simple, clean architecture and beautiful views.
Anonymous August 2024
We loved Hippokampoi, particularly the view and the proximity to the sea.
GT June 2024
What stood out for us about Hippokampoi was the view, the layout, and the coolness. We would return for the location, the view and the amenities.
Anonymous August 2024
Hippokampoi is beautifully designed and furnished. We had a relaxing, fun, family time that was a hit with parents as well as teens. We would return because we loved the isolation and the quiet…whilst at the same time being able to walk to Vathy. The villa is in a spectacular setting, the light changing throughout the day, and it’s brilliantly equipped.

Hippokampoi was fantastic, in a great location and with a fabulous view.
Anonymous July 2024
The villa's facilities and views are first class - perfect for 4-6 of us; eating areas, balcony and space around the pool are wonderful - private yet near Vathy with easy access around the island; our favourite for young and older alike - loved it.
