Ilyessa Cottages is a family business where you experience the traditional architectural charm of Zante. The cottage interior and exterior design are in perfect harmony with the natural beauty of the olive grove, fig trees and gardens around them. The six residences of Ilyessa complex are the ideal destination for families with young children as well as couples seeking solitude. Balancing the traditional and the rural, Hara and Dennis have managed to turn your visits into a warm welcome. Enjoy the peacefulness of our village and the tranquil sounds of nature day and night. Taste the unique local products (oil, cheese, wine, fruit, vegetables.)
