The Area
Ondine is situated above a stunning bay on the north coast of Meganissi, just a 15-minute walk from the seafront tavernas, shops and harbour of Vathi. This superb position may mean you will not wander too far from your comfortable surroundings, but should you wish to, Meganissi and its neighbouring island, Lefkada, are eminently visitable in a week and there are numerous bays and shingle beaches to explore.
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. 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.

Ondine is a wonderful villa, spacious and private and in a great location.

The location, space and facilities of Ondine tick all of our boxes. We would return. We keep going back to the same area because The Thinking Traveller villas there come with sea access, are walkable to town, and offer privacy but plenty of restaurants and activities available. Which combined with the amazing service from the Local Specialist on Meganissi (as well as the team in London) makes for a pretty special experience.

Ondine is a superb villa in a stunning location with the most helpful and thoughtful Local Specialist that you could ask for. What stood out was the location, the quality and the facilities. We had a great experience using The Thinking Traveller.

Ondine is a fantastic villa. It has great views and is superbly equipped. We would return because it's very rare to have sea access and water sports directly at the villa. Another outstanding family holiday organised by the Thinking Traveller. Faultless service. Well done again!

Beautiful location and comfortable, well-equipped villa. The setting was perfect and the sea swimming and paddle boarding made this an ideal holiday for us all. Enjoyed the charm of Vathi - rare to find such a quaint and peaceful destination.
