In the early and late seasons, an air source heat pump takes the chill off the pool water, raising it to a few degrees higher than it would otherwise be.

She and her husband Yianni are available throughout your holiday, to assist with any problems that might arise during your stay.

Changeover days
During the months of July and August, our preferred changeover day is Saturday, with lettings for multiples of seven days. However we may be able to provide some flexibility depending on previous bookings. In May, June, September and October, there is greater flexibility on changeover days and the length of the holiday period. We may also be able to offer discounts to smaller parties who prefer the space and amenities of a larger villa.

There are water's edge tavernas in Agios Stefanos, (Eucalyptus, Kaparelli, Galini and Kochili) and two cocktail bars (Damianos and the Wave Bar).

Alternatively take a water taxi from Agios Stefanos to Taverna Agni for a memorable evening. The White House Restaurant in nearby Kalami provides a fine dining experience in the former home of Laurence Durrell.

Supermarkets and shopping
Local supermarkets are only a five minute's drive - Yannis Market in Sinies provides online shopping and will deliver to the villa. There is also a local bakery and fish shop. Larger supermarkets in Kassiopi and Acharavi (20 minutes drive on the North coast) offer a wider selection of goods and include delicatessens and butchers counters. The High Street in Kassiopi has a good mixture of traditional tourist shops, high end boutiques, jewellery shops and a chemist.

Beaches and other activities
Hiring a motor boat is a fun way to explore the idyllic coves that are the signature of North East Corfu’s beauty, made famous by Gerald Durrell's books. Stop for a swim off the beautiful beaches of the Erimitis headland, then head down to Kalami, Agni or Nissaki for lunch. Kerasia beach, possibly the most beautiful beach in Corfu, is reached via Agios Stefanos where there are sun beds, a drinks bar, and fabulous taverna, enabling you to spend the whole day there. Agios Spyridon, a slowly shelving sandy beach ideal for children, is only a short drive along the North coast. Most beaches have paddle boards or kayaks available for hire. Aqualand, a water theme park in the centre of the island, is a great day out for children and adults alike.

Walking
from Kalami to Kassiopi there are some beautiful walks either along the coast or, for the more adventurous, across the hills. Early May is a wonderful time as the wild flowers are in full bloom and its ideal walking weather. "All Trails" and "Corfu Paths" provide further details and walks closer to Aurora are included in the joining instructions. We can offer reduced rates for smaller groups in May and September.

Car hire
Although all amenities are close by, car hire is strongly recommended to get the most from your holiday. Most international firms are represented at Corfu Airport with local firms close by. The drive to the villa along the coast road takes about one hour. Hire a car with a high wheelbase of a small SUV which will ride the uneven surface. Alternatively, a private transfer to the villa costs approximately €80, and a local firm will be pleased to deliver a hire car to the villa.

Travel to Corfu
Corfu is well served by flights from most UK airports. There are many friendly boutique hotels in Corfu that provide an ideal way to extend your holiday by a day or two in order to appreciate the beautiful UNESCO world heritage old town, or to match the sometimes rather demanding flight schedules. Try Hotel Bella Venezia, Siorra Vittoria or Cavalieri Hotel.

Registration and taxes
The property is registered for holiday rentals with the Greek National Tourist Office, EOT licence number 0829K10TK8213001.
There is a tourist tax (€15 per villa, per night in 2025) which is in addition to the rental price. A separate invoice will be issued for this tax.
