Always fantastic villas from Simpson and Athina in Lefkada was no exception. Beautifully appointed and glorious views in all directions. Also excellent service by Yiannis who couldn't do enough to help."
We had the most wonderful stay at Villa Athina. The local town is a delight, full of lovely restaurants. We travelled all over the island and some of our favourite meals were in the mountains. Our brave little girl paraglided over Kathisma beach – a..."
The holiday did not disappoint and as promised we brought our granddaughter as an 18th birthday present. Loved the boat trip from Nidri to “Piggy Island” and then we got a boat & went around Meganisi ending up at “Il Paradiso” which was so beautiful...."

Dressed in beautiful pale golden stone, Villa Athina claims a lofty but unobtrusive position high on the hillside above Agios Nikitas on the west coast of Lefkada. Agios Nikitas is one of the island’s most sought-after villages, with its own pretty beach and enough tavernas to ring the changes for at least a week. It’s a popular spot in the height of summer, but those lucky enough to be staying nearby will find the village quietens considerably as evening falls, so you can enjoy a relaxed stroll around its cobbled streets and traditional buildings as you choose your dinner spot.
Athina’s hillside location gives you two gloriously contrasting perspectives: from the pool area you look out over Lefkada’s rugged, forest-clad mountains, whilst the front patio offers equally wonderful views of the sea in all its myriad shades of blue. There’s plenty of room here to enjoy evening drinks or a barbecue, complemented by the nightly spectacle of a stunning Ionian sunset. The interior is practical and comfortable, with two good-sized en-suite bedrooms located on the main terrace level, and a bright, airy living-dining area upstairs to take full advantage of the view.
Villa Athina is positioned next to identical Villa Valia, so if you’re travelling in a larger group or as two families then both villas can be rented together. Regardless of your party size, it’s a great base for discovering the full diversity of Lefkada, from centuries-old rural villages to the lively buzz of the island capital and the spectacular west coast beaches such as Mylos and Porto Katsiki, considered to be some of the finest in the Ionian.
