Well worth the long haul.
Villa Lithos is in a superb location nestled on a hill above Nisaki, and exactly as the website photos show. Stunning. Its roughly 30 minutes from Corfu Town. Thanks to Kate we had easy to follow instructions to find the villa. There are no street names or house numbers. However the villa name is on a sign at the driveway entrance. The villa has a breathtaking outlook best seen from the infinity pool! Inside it's luxurious. A well fitted out kitchen area is great, but we ate out for every meal apart from breakfast. There are lots of tavernas to choose from. Around the village Vitamins in good, roumeli's ok, athni to be avoided at all costs. Toula's in Agni is superb but pricey. In Barbati starlight taverna has a great outlook and very welcoming hostess. Forget ipsos. It's a dive. Kassiopi is worth a look, but very touristy.We had an unforgettable day out on a self drive boat from dany's down at nisaki wharf. Only 60 euros in off season. A must. It quite easy to drive to the other side of Corfu from the villa. About an hour or so. Don't bother about getting supplies before arriving. Aphrodite's supermarket is very close and has everything at reasonable prices. Next door a bakery.
Our week at the villa was superb. Rena came each day to make everything spotless inside and out, and Dimitris cleaned the pool and gave us great tips for what to see and eat! The only things to be aware of are that the driveway and the stairs up to the villa are both very steep. We had a fair bit of trouble working out how to access English tv channels, and although Dimitris did try to explain, we gave up after a few more goes. Oh, and bring suitable footwear if you going to swim at any beach. There is no painless way to get to the water without them, due to the large pebbles. And don't come here for the shopping. There is none. But that's great. Just come here to completely relax.
All in all, it's a long way from Australia, but Villa Lithos is so worth the effort.
