Located under the church of Aghi Anargyri with its wonderful bell tower, the Villa Ivi is a charming retreat from the hustle and bustle of Fira and Oia.
Sheltered from the Cycladic winds, the traffic free village of Megalochori provides a peaceful and sought after alternative.
The romantic Villa Ivi once provided the villagers with a safe haven from marauding pirates who invaded the island.
Today the villa, with its cool vaulted interior, provides an enchanting holiday home.
Near to the picturesque village square with its Venetian architecture, the Villa Ivi is approached through painted blue doors which lead into a pretty and private cobbled courtyard.
Olive trees in large terracotta pots add a lovely atmosphere as you enter and the outdoor heated Jacuzzi is perfect to relax in after a day at the beach.
This is a great villa for two couples or a small family wanting a private retreat from which to explore the island.
