Pretty Villa in Ano Katelios with Views Towards Zakynthos

Our pretty villa, which is sitting on land measuring 1,071 sq. m, is situated in the much sought after village of Ano Katelios, We are 15 minutes walk, down a quiet lane to the main road, from the delightful and popular seafront, with its many excellent and traditional tavernas, supermarkets, shops and typical Greek fishing boats. Of course, there is also the sandy beach. The closest large tourist resort to us is Skala and this is 10 minutes drive away.

From our house we have a view of the Ionian Sea and Zakynthos and are surrounded by the mountains forming our valley. We have an added attractive feature in the form of the ruins of an old church, which managed to, in part, withstand the earthquake of 1953. The most outstanding feature of our garden is the huge, ancient olive tree, with steps leading up, that is a striking sight as you approach the property.
