Amalthia Cottage

Just a short drive from the harbour town of Vathy, Amalthia Cottage sits in a tranquil spot above Dexa Beach, a Blue Flag bay steeped in myth and surrounded by classic Mediterranean scenery. The open-plan living space with mezzanine bedroom creates an inviting retreat for couples, while the pretty garden, private pool and shaded terrace make it wonderfully easy to settle into relaxed island living. A simple beach bar is within strolling distance and Vathy’s shops, cafés and tavernas provide all other essentials. This area of Ithaca is rich in walking routes, including the path up to the ancient village of Paleochora with its far-reaching views and atmospheric ruins. Guided walks, boat hire, kayaking and diving can also be arranged for those seeking adventure. Although perfectly private, Amalthia Cottage can be paired with neighbouring Arethusa Cottage, offering an ideal arrangement for two couples who wish to travel together while enjoying independent space.
