Our location (east coast, mainland Greece, north of Athens) is untouched by mass tourism.
With rugged coastlines, secluded beaches, and olive groves, we exude tranquillity, serenity, and a Real Greece feel. We are on the edge of a busy village with tavernas, a chemist, a supermarket, a bakery, and a butcher, a quick walk from us.
Coastal waters are perfect for swimming, and you can go sailing and diving. Nearby is a kite sailing bay (holds international competitions) Charming local villages where time stands still. You're even just 10 minutes from a well-known, busy Greek seaside resort - so you can enjoy a nightlife of bars, cafes, tavernas, sweet shops and more.
Our villa is a relaxed and quiet space where you can unwind and connect with our peaceful atmosphere. The villa is about 5002M of living space on grounds of about 1 acre. Ample space for large groups to still have some relaxation and privacy.
You can explore hidden coves, indulge in lovely local cuisine, or simply bask by the pool in the sun; we're an unforgettable escape for those seeking an authentic Greek experience.
We're a stunning home. We've even won an award for it. It is set in private gardens, trees, living spaces, and a pool area. And, completely child-friendly and safe. A private pool in stunning ancient surroundings. Chill amongst many trees in our private gardens. Take the day trip ferry to visit Skiathos. Sail on your private, skippered yacht for the day, exploring empty beaches and tiny islands. Day trip to ancient sites - Delphi, Meteora, or the enchanting mountain villages of Pelion. Sip evening cocktails or lunch at the beachside at our nearby resort, just minutes away. Play tennis, kitesurf, or explore empty beaches for yourself.
The villa has an award (The Times) as one of mainland Greece's top 20 coastal villas. Built of stone, with stone floors, it stays cool inside and opens onto large terraces, gardens, or the private pool area.

Just minutes drive away is Rahes, a busy and famous Greek beach resort with many beachside cafes, bars, tavernas, kids' entertainment and more - a wonderful, typically Greek, friendly, buzzing nightlife experience where children can walk and roam safely as they meet and play with new friends late into the night.
We can arrange a day sailing on a private yacht, or you can catch small ferry boats for 20-minute trips to nearby islands. Real Greece is a very simple motorway drive from all airports in a stunning setting, and we're by the clear waters of the Aegean Sea.
We had the most amazing time in Achinos at Michaelâs villa. The pictures donât even come close to showing how beautiful it really is! Michael was always around to help with any questions and had so many great recommendations. He and his wife are such wonderful hosts. The villa is gorgeous, and the village has everything you need â a supermarket and some lovely restaurants all within walking distance. My nephew even learned to kite surf at a nearby camp, which was such a highlight! The beaches are stunning and everyone we met was so kind and welcoming.Thank you, Michael, for an unforgettable week in your beautiful villa. You and your wife are such lovely people, and we canât wait to come back one day!
The property is in a village with a small supermarket, bar, coffee shop and restaurant. However, I would recommend you have a car to access a greater variety of amenities and the beach. There were very few international tourists, although the the area is popular with Greeks. If you expect a tourist hot spot such on many of the the Greek Islands you will be disappointed. Most restaurants did have English menus but not all so you may need to use Google translate - if you don't speak Greek of course.We found the locals and business owners to be really friendly, welcoming and helpful. The property is well appointed with large open plan living spaces. The bathrooms are all modern. There are 3 good sized double bedrooms. The single room and the twin bedrooms are quite small. We were a family group of 9 adults and the sleeping arrangements worked fine for us. Michael is a great host. The communication with him was detailed and timely. He organised wine tasting, boat rental and restaurant bookings.
We spent a wonderfully relaxing week with our extended family ages 7 months to 63 at Michael & Dimitria's beautiful and expansive home. The house was filled with comfortable spaces to lounge and congregate for meals, drinks and fun times in the pool. We enjoyed our short morning strolls to the local bakery, dinners at the local taverna accompanied by live bazouki music and short drives to the nearby beaches. We had a fun day on a sailboat arranged by Michael and also spent a day seeing the sights in Meteora. In between all this activity we lounged around and in the refreshing pool. The house was very clean and orderly. We especially enjoyed cooking for our crowd in the large well equipped kitchen. Michael & Dimitria were excellent hosts. If you're looking for a quiet Greek village without tourists but with a warm and friendly vibe, we recommend lovely Achinos.
A wonderful property nestled away in a delightful village. Michael (the host) couldnât have been more attentive. Always on hand to help and advise if needed and would always greet you with a smile! The lovely pool was a godsend in 40 degree heat and kept the kids and adults well entertained. Raches is the nearest town and offered lots of lovely places to
Eat and drink, plus some gorgeous beaches to enjoy. Thank you very much!
I had a good feeling about this holiday from the moment I booked. Michael was excellent at communicating with me and providing ideas of things to do in the area. His directions to the property were fantastic and the welcome we received was lovely. The weather was hot but the temperature of the house was constant with plentiful fans to circulate the air. The house was fully equipped and beautiful. It was very private, too. Michael and Dimitra were on hand to assist and recommend, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A perfect hideaway for a small family group (there were 7 of us) where everyone could do their own thing in one of the numerous, comfortable seating areas. We loved the un-touristy nature of the area, too, though the village had all we needed. I could go on, as I find it hard to find fault with this beautiful place. We would come back in an instant.
We booked this property pre-covid (2019) and finally made the trip in August 2022. Over the intervening years Michael (our host) kept us informed of the position regards restrictions and even honoured our original booking price. When we finally arrived the property and location turned out to be better than advertised. Michael was the perfect host. He started by giving us an orientation tour of the adjacent two towns and gave us information of local activities and restaurants and helped us with our bookings including our day out sailing (a must!). Whenever we needed help - he was there!
The mixture of pool time and beach was ideal.
We felt that we had an authentic taste of Greece and in Raches, the nearby beachside town only heard Greek voices - lovely!!!
This villa was beautifully spacious with wonderful features, a large swimming pool area, well-equipped kitchen, and very comfortable beds. We were a family group of 10 with 3 generations and everyone found the villa comfortable. Michael and Demitria were welcoming with very helpful suggestions, always on hand to help with bookings for boat hire, restaurants and cultural attractions. Michael's maps are a thing of beauty! We hired a yacht for the day (with a wonderfully friendly and patient captain), visited the ancient sites of Meteora, Delphi, Thermopylae, had a couple of beach days (again with an excellent recommendation from Michael for a 5 star beach), and many enjoyable days relaxing, eating and drinking by the pool - the 2 grandmas loved shopping for shoes in Lamia. Thank you Michael and Demitria, your villa is amazing and we will always have very fond memories of our time in Achinos.
Taking three generations away is always tricky as everyone expects something different from the experience. That is not the problem here! The house is huge, with plenty of space and seating areas, both inside and out, so all can have their own space. It is beautifully furnished and the fans kept us cool at night. The pool area was totally loved by my little ones who were in it every spare minute! There are lovely secure gardens around the building, and the kitchen is very well stocked. Nearby are beaches and lots of restaurants and bars to satisfy all tastes. The owner and his wife are onsite and were very helpful in suggesting trips and restaurants and even ordered our take-away for us!
If you want a relaxing holiday in a typical Greek village, this is the place for you. We can't thank Michael enough for letting us share his lovely home.
