Villa Christina flexible accommodation for up to 3 families or groups of friends

Just a short stroll to the sandy beach, restaurants and village shops, this villa is great for a relaxing stay with your extended family or friends. It is located on its own at the edge of the authentically Greek village of Amaliapoli on the Pagasitic Gulf, making it very private but still with easy access to local amenities. Come and experience life in a beautiful Greek village much appreciated by Greek holiday makers but off the beaten tourist track. Several other nice sandy beaches are within easy driving distance and many archaeological sites. From this location you can visit classical Delphi, the magnificent monasteries of Meteora and the scenic Pelion peninsula.
