Set right next to the beach, off a country lane, the villas are situated amidst gardens of oleander, hibiscus and aromatic angeliki bushes. The villas, studios & apartments are shaded from behind by palms, olive trees and house-high bamboos. A sense of traditional Greek design is preserved in the interior of the accommodation. They are air-conditioned, comfortably furnished and well cared for.
The location provides the choice of a large pool, ample sunbathing terraces, gardens, a quiet shore-side taverna and 2 km of flat, quiet sandy beach.
Stavros offers varying sizes of accommodation to suit the needs of your family and guests. Stavros villas sleep either 4-8 people or 6-9 people. The studios sleep 2-3 people and the apartments either 2-4 or 5-6 people. Please select your accommodation above for more information.
The Beach
One-to-two minutes' walk from your accommodation is the sandy beach that never gets crowded. You can take long walks along the clean, quiet beach in either direction for up to 2km. Or just watch stunning sunsets over the sea, sipping locally produced wine and raki from our beach-side bar.

It is reassuring to know when you are swimming or sun-bathing here that health and hygiene tests show this is one of the most unpolluted parts of all the Mediterranean coasts. It is such a quiet stretch of beach that the Turtle Protection Society of Greece monitors the activity of turtles - thought to swim from as far away as the Asia-Pacific oceans - that swim ashore by night and lay their eggs on these beaches from July-September.
The Pool
Adjoining the beach is a good-sized swimming pool, sun terrace and beach bar, and there are plenty of sun-beds and umbrellas for use by the pool. Although the pool is shared by the four villas, not everyone staying with us chooses the pool at the same time since the large sandy beach is right next to the pool and is also popular. Situated far enough from the villas that voices can't be heard and with a length almost the size of the width of an Olympic pool, our guests never complain that the pool is too noisy, too busy or too small.

While the main swimming pool is a generous size for adult use, the separate baby pool provides a safe paddle area for our smallest quests. Toddler-size children also enjoy a small, enclosed and shallower area adjoining the adult pool where their parents can keep an eye on them from the poolside.
