"Aegea" is set down a long private driveway with off road parking. The villa sits within its own land and looks directly over the Aegean and three of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. The sea here is clean, crystal clear and has a unique aqua colour. Warm in summer and winter, it is superb for swimming and snorkelling. Agios Ioannis and Papa Nero beaches have numerous good tavernas, bakeries, pharmacy, small supermarkets, cafes and bars and are a three minute drive or can be reached via footpaths in about 15-20 minutes (up hill on way back). Plaka - one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with its cool beach bar and lovely terrace restaurant is well worth the extra few minutes drive along a partly unmade road or can be reached on foot over a rocky path from Agios Ioannis harbour. Many other villages and beaches are within a 10 minute drive including the charming Damouchari where the original "Mamma Mia" was filmed. From Aegea's terraces you can hear the sea as it laps the shore in the village of Agios Ioannis below and there are far reaching 360 degree views to the islands of Alonnisos and Skopelos, to Holy Mount Athos in the distance and to Southern Halkidiki on the horizon. Behind the villa rises the beautiful and wild Pelion Mountain where you can follow the old cobbled and paved trails which connect the local villages and churches through forests of oak, wild chestnut, beech and maple, alongside waterfalls and crossing ancient bridges over mountain streams - the forests and streams reach right down to the sea. Walking maps and walking sticks are supplied. The natural springs which rise from the mountain and the heavy snow fall in winter ensure that Pelion green for most of the year and there is an abundance of flowers and trees laden with fruit well into December. At night enjoy the large hot tub on the roof terrace and watch the tiny fishing boats bobbing along the coast and the twinkling lights of the mountain villages. ​ The Villa The villa is approximately 105 square meters (1,100 sq ft) and is air conditioned (heats or cools).
