So it is the ideal place to relax from it all but not if you wish to have all amenities right at the corner. At Ano Akrata, just a 12 min drive, you will find everything you need: supermarket, groceries, butcher, a nice piazza to have your espresso or ice-cream or tsipouro, three good restaurants/tavernas, one or two little bars, hairdresser, etc.
And in Krathi/Akrata, the largest village by the beach, a 20 min drive from Villa Serenis, you will find many many more options, especially so in summer months, when it gets very busy and touristic. Also 3 pharmacies and two pediatricians, if any need arises.
The closest medical center, fully equipped, is in Ano Akrata (12 min drive).
Other than that, there are many nice beaches at a drive distance of 20 to 30 minutes from Villa Serenis.

Villa Serenis sits in the most stunning location, high in the hills above Akrata. Our hosts, Korina and Nicos, went out of their way to make our holiday run smoothly. Everything was taken care of, from shopping before our arrival to recommendations for activities and local restaurants. We really couldn't thank them enough!
The Villa is perfect with absolutely everything you might need. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were bright and spacious and everything was spotless. The outdoor area by the pool was perfect. The view amazing!
The local town has a good supermarket and great bakery.
Recommend a drive to Lake Tsivlou. Perfect for an afternoon swim.
Thoroughly recommend staying at this beautiful villa. Ideal for families and teenagers as well as adults wanting a romantic getaway!

Maison très comfortable et calme une vue exceptionnelle
La Villa Serenis est située en hauteur d’Astraka, avec une vue incroyable sur les montagnes et la mer. Il y a toujours un peu d’air, ce qui est très agréable en été. La maison est très belle, moderne, bien équipée, comfortable et très calme. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour avec les enfants qui ont adoré la piscine. Korina (l’hôte) et Maria et Harris (qui s’occupent de la maison) ont été aux petits soins et ont partagé régulièrement de très bons conseils.
