Villa in Agios Nikolaos - Volimes
Deep Blue
Resting atop an idyllic Zakynthian hillside, Villa Deep Blue takes its name from the azure Ionian Sea below. This striking traditional villa blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings, while providing luxury living for its welcome guests. A picturesque cliff path leads you to the sea, while a short drive will take you to the nearby town. If grand entrances are your style, then you will love Deep Blue’s helipad. For active days, take one of the villa’s mountain bikes for a spin. A cute playground will be popular with the kids while you lounge by the cliff-side pool. Glide weightless through the topaz waters, as you enjoy panoramic views of the glistening ocean. Catch an even better view from your adorable stone balcony, lovingly carved into the hillside and accessorized with comfy cushions. By night, watch hazy, golden sunsets with your favorite drink in hand. The al fresco dining area sits up high on its own romantic covered balcony. It too is a terrific vantage point to view the Grecian sun dip gracefully below the horizon. Dine under the soaring cathedral ceiling in the main living area. Brimming with Zakynthian charm and blessed with an abundance of natural light, the cozy lounge and impressive dining area epitomize the perfect Grecian retreat. Full of character, the traditional kitchen is homely and quaint, a delightful space in which to prepare your vacation meals and take leisurely breakfasts. All four bedrooms benefit from a television, their own delightful en-suite bathroom and a glorious sea view. The two stylish double rooms have access to a gorgeous terrace – step out and feel the gentle sea breeze on your face, before heading to breakfast. The third double is known as the studio.

All about Zakynthos
Planning a Zakynthos vacation? We’re here to help!
Lying off the west coast of Greece, one of the Islands that bathe in the blue of the Ionian Sea, Zakynthos is a place of sun-kissed sand, dramatic stone cliffs, and dusty green olive groves. It’s the birthplace of the national poet of Greece, Dionysios Solomos, who wrote the poem that was to later become Greece’s national anthem – no doubt inspired by the beauty of his Greek island home. Also known by its Italian name of Zante (the island was part of the Venetian Empire from the 16th to 18th centuries), the island is deservedly popular for its coves and beaches, which dissolve into crystal-clear waters.
View the town
Zakynthos town, on the east coast of the island, is its capital. Though many of its grand Neoclassical buildings were lost in a powerful earthquake in 1953, its streets and squares are still a delightful place for a stroll, when you can stop at its pretty boutiques, or maybe at a taverna for a tiropita – a delicious feta, spinach or meat-stuffed puff pastry. Perhaps the best way to see the town, though, is from above. The village of Bohali is perched up on the hills about a mile and a half out of town, and in the cool shade of pine and olive trees, you can take in the view across to the port and the sparkling sea beyond. While you’re there, have a look at the picturesque ruins of the Venetian castle that once guarded Zante against seafaring invaders; you can still see the main gate and some outer walls and battlements, and the views seem all the more impressive from atop a castle turret.
Beach beauties
Zakynthos is not short of beautiful beaches, and if you hop in a car and drive around the island you’re sure to find one beckoning to you with a sparkle in its eye. Laganas Bay, in the south, is a wide arc encompassing several gorgeous stretches of sand, and its beauty and ideal beach-bum conditions mean it’s perennially popular. It’s still worth a visit, however, especially if you’re interested in finding out more about one of Zakynthos’ more ancient residents. The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is an endangered species that lays its eggs in the sand in summer, and there is a large population of turtles living around the bay. Laganas is now protected as a National Marine Park, so the public is only allowed on the sand between 7 am and sunset, and there are rules about where to set up and where to dig for sandcastles, to protect the turtles that come on to the beach at night to burrow and lay their eggs. If you’d like to learn more about these gentle creatures, you can visit the park's exhibition center in Dafni, at the east end of Laganas Bay.
Xigia Beach, up towards the north of the island, is another spot worth mentioning. A secluded cove nestled between the cliffs, it’s known for its sulfur springs, which mix with the saltwater to make a natural beauty bath for your skin. The turquoise waters beckoning you as you stand on the cliffs above will make you want to strip down to your swimmers, but take care down the steep access path. There’s a parking area up at road level, and the local taverna has a terrace with a view – perfect for a fresh Greek salad, hot crispy fried fish, and a cold beer.
Experience the luxury of our Zakynthos villas
Whether you want to get the whole gang together or just get away with that special someone, you’ll find the perfect vacation home among our luxury rentals. If you’re planning a honeymoon in Zakynthos , then how about a romantic hideaway in one of the island’s smartest resorts? Our Tragaki villas offer a pool with hydrotherapy device, ocean views from almost every room and your own private slice of beach. You’ll also have access to the resort’s first-class facilities, so why not enjoy a couples’ spa treatment and dinner at one of the resort’s delicious restaurants before retiring to gaze at the stars with a glass of Champagne on your secluded terrace.
Homes in Agios Nikolaos
The charming harbor of Agios Nikolaos sits at the peaceful northern end of Zakynthos, and our Agios Nikolaos villas make the most of their serene surroundings. Traditional stone-built houses offer a shaded respite from the midday sun – or just take a dip in your private pool with its unobstructed view of the Ionian Sea. In the cool of the morning or late afternoon, you might like to explore the island by bike, or the coast by kayak – both are available at some of our properties. In the evening the relaxed bars and restaurants of Agios Nikolaos are close by for a delicious Greek meal.
