Set amongst the olive groves in the tiny village of GERAKAS, to the south of the island of ZAKYNTHOS ZANTE, GREECE, is the three bedroom stone built Villa Karissa. A five minute walk to local shops, tavernas, the turtle research centre and the delightful Gerakas secluded and sandy beach. The town of Zante and its fishing port is just a 30 minute drive away. It is the perfect place for a relaxing and peaceful time, exclusively yours for the duration of your stay We are not a package holiday company, this is our own private villa, so you have to book your own flights from whatever airport you prefer and at times that suit you. Whilst we leave you alone while you are staying in our villa you are not totally abandoned as we do have our representatives to sort out any problems should they occur and to advise on excursions, car hire and local amenities should you need them to

Villa Karissa is located to the far south of the island surrounded by ancient olive terraces with views of the sea and mountainous countryside. Only a 5 minute walk to Gerakas Beach and its famous coast, stop for a cool drink on the way in one of three bars or tavernas or buy some provisions in the local mini market. Take a 10 minute stroll down to Porto Roma where more tavernas and a mini market can be found. We are less than a 15 minute walk, or 5 minute drive, from the local village of Vasilikos where at least 10 tavernas, coffee bars & shops can be found on the way. This is why, in our opinion, Villa Karissa is situated in a perfect location The small village of Vasilikos itself boasts 8 tavernas, a coffee shop, mini markets, souvenir shops, car, scooter or cycle rental and its own delightful little Church. Three different beaches can be found along the way which host water sports, diving and pedalos etc. ideal for children to have fun, most have beach bars
