Villa Taphian - Meganissi
Meganissi has rapidly established itself as a real Simpson Travel favourite, thanks to its signature relaxed pace and authentic charm that have all but disappeared from many of the larger Greek islands. Conscious of the need to protect this delightful landscape, the locals also seem to have perfected the knack of building traditional stone houses with smart contemporary interiors, and Villa Taphian is a fine new example of the style. The house is one of a trio of villas, each with its own private pool and terrace, within walking distance of Vathy. This charming fishing village sits at the head of a deep natural inlet, a magnet for sailing boats in the summer months, and therefore well provided with cafés and seafood tavernas. If you get here at the right time you can buy the day’s catch straight from the waterside, but if you miss the boat this is still a wonderful spot to people watch and take a lesson from the locals in the art of easy living. Katomeri, with its charming traditional architecture and local tavernas, is just a couple of minutes away by car and pretty Fanari Beach is only a five-minute drive. Villa Taphian sits separately in a small cluster of neighbouring villas that include Villa Mentes and Villa Akoni, which are identical in style and layout. Holiday Name : Villa TaphianReference : STA
