If you’re looking for an island hideaway just for two, then Arethusa Cottage is your dream rental. Located just a 15-minute walk from beautiful Dexa Beach (awarded Blue Flag status for cleanliness) this cute cottage is the perfect place to recline in the shade of an olive tree with a book, swim in Ithaca’s jewel-colored waters and enjoy a cooling drink at the simple beach bar a short stroll away. The cottage has a mezzanine bedroom over an open-plan living room, though it’s likely you’ll spend most of your time outdoors in the pretty garden or private swimming pool. There are walking trails nearby so you can explore island life at your own pace, or for a slightly livelier atmosphere, you can drive to the island capital Vathy in around five minutes. Here you’ll find a good selection of shops and local tavernas, bars and cafés for an authentic taste of Greece with a dash of Italian inspiration. Guided walks can also be arranged, plus boat rental, kayaking and scuba diving, on request. Arethusa is very private and separate from neighboring Amalthia Cottage, but if you’re traveling as two couples, the two properties would make an ideal base for you all.

The kilometre readings given in these directions are only for guidance and may not be exact. If you have requested any booster or child seats, please ensure you check the fittings before you set off. Please take care driving on these roads and remember to drive on the right! 1. . Drive out of the port of Piso Aetos around two sharp bends and follow the road until you come to a junction. 2. At the junction turn right, PLEASE TAKE CARE HERE, as a road from the left merges at this point. 3. Follow the road with the sea on your left, you will pass the Bay of Dexa. 4. You will now be climbing up hill. Just before the top of the hill you will see a turning on your right. There are signs for other villas and apartments. Turn into this road. (If you come to the petrol station you have gone too far. Turn around and take the first turning on your left.) 5. Drive along this road uphill passing some properties. AMALTHIA and ARETHUSA are on your right behind an obvious large dark blue wrought iron gate with a sign on the gate reading ‘DENDRA’. 6. Look out for a cream-coloured switch, like a light switch, hidden just behind the wall on the right of the gate. Press and the gate will open. Please close gate automatically after you have entered the property. 7. Continue down the drive. The first villa on your right is ARETHUSA and the second on the right is AMALTHIA. The house at the end of the drive is the owners. Each villa has its own parking space. WELCOME!
