Newly renovated Villa Kouvelia, just 100km from Athens and 25km from Chalkida, overlooks mountain, sea, vineyards and olive groves in every direction from its many balconies and verandas. "Kouvelia" offers a tranquil escape from which you can explore the local villages, our beautiful island, and the wider region of Greece. The house was built with the intention of integrating indoor space with our natural landscape; coupled with a large, open living room space, this encourages our guests to commune with each other and with the natural world. Guests are encouraged to freely explore and taste from our fenced grounds of vineyards, olive trees, and various gardens—though we urge caution when the prickly pears have fruited!! Other than the basement, the house and grounds are entirely at your disposal.

George is always a phone call away, and can be typically found at the local beaches, cafes, and tavernas doting upon his lovely wife Iota.

An hour and a half’s drive from Athens, we are on the island of Euboea (Evia), connected to the mainland of Greece by bridge in Chalkis (Halkitha), our island’s capital city. Our mountain village of Nerotrivia is a ten minute walk (up hill!!) and our beaches are a ten minute drive along one of the most beautiful drives on the island. We reside between the sea the mountain, both which have sustained us since antiquity (as you’ll find in our local tavernas) and which offer endless possibilities for exploring or for simple refuge from the hustle and bustle of our modern lives. If you miss some of that hustle and bustle, the capital city of Chalkis, 30 minutes away, is a thriving town with cafes, restaurants, and clubs to keep you entertained till sunrise. If you visit, you’ll be among our friends and families, and if your not careful, you likely join us as such!
