The Manson house for rental Villa to rent on Greek Island Evia

(Amalthea, in Greek mythology, was a sacred goat that nourished the infant Zeus when his mother Rhea hided him in a cave on Crete island to save him from his father. Amalthea's horn is the origin of the cornucopia - this refers to Zeus breaking off one horn and endowing it with the power to become filled with whatever the bearer might wish. The cornucopia was the horn of plenty, and it symbolized an abundant harvest)

AREA

Evia, though the second largest Greek island after Crete, is still unspoiled by mass tourism, offering visitors a chance to experience the real beauty of Greek island life. The countryside is varied mountains, valleys, plains and lakes with typical Greek villages nestling into the hillsides or stretching along the coast. Few English people have discovered its charms. All wait to be discovered.

Transport

Traveling to Evia has the advantage of being accessible from Athens airport by car.

There are two alternatives:

1. From the new Eleftherios Venizellos airport at Spata, drive on the north highway for 200 km till the port of Arkitsa, where the ferry crosses to Aedipsos (Edipsos) in 50 minutes

After that, slightly further North, it is only 30 minutes easy drive to the picturesque village Pefki set in a pine forest.
Or
2. after 130 km, exit at Halkida, the capital of Evia, where a Bridge connects the island to the mainland. Take north direction, crossing varied countryside towards Limni, Aedipsos Istiaea.

Follow the signs to Pefki. It is 120 km, with a lot of turns, but the scenery is very rewarding

Another way is to avoid Athens and the traffic completely.

1. Take a flight to Skiathos, hire a cub to take you to the port and then aboard the "Flying Dolphin Ferry" in 25 minutes reach Pefki. Car hire can be arranged, should you choose this option
To reach the villa, don't turn towards Pefki, but continue for another 3 minutes till the sign uphill to the village "Gerakiou". Take this road and drive on for 5 minutes till you see on your left a first glimpse of the house

Just at the turn, there is a pathway to the villa's imposing wooden gates

Drive through and park under the shade!

Location

Isriea is 15 km away. Pefki, 800 m away, is the nearest village with shops
This lovely, warm, spacious country house stands on an one-acre property, on the island of Evia, approximately 30 kilometers north of the port of Aedipsos and only a short distance away from several beaches. Situated above Pefki in a secluded area is ideal for people who enjoy peaceful vacations and artists who enjoy Greek landscape paintings. Hidden by pine trees and foliage, yet it offers panoramic mountainous – north coastal view of the Aegean Sea and the Magnesia, across.
Pefki is very popular with Greek holidaymakers for two months: July and August. In this sort period the village blossoms. Clubs, pastry stores and children's amusement park, all come to life. Then schools start and village life takes its slower more relaxed rhythm. The village is located along a sandy beach, named after the pine trees, which are called "Pefki", among which the village nests. The village's appeal is enhanced by the long pedestrian pavements and the picturesque harbor.
