Romantic Cottage with Private Pool and Garden near Vathy and Dexa Beach

Set on the edge of a wooded valley just a short walk from Blue Flag Dexa Beach, Arethusa Cottage offers a wonderfully tranquil base for a romantic escape. The beach’s calm, clear waters and simple bar provide an idyllic setting for reading, swimming or simply admiring the view, while the harbour town of Vathy is only a five-minute drive away for shops, cafés and waterfront dining. Inside, the cottage features an open-plan living space with a mezzanine bedroom, complemented by a pretty garden, private pool and terrace that make outdoor living a delight.

The surrounding area is perfect for gentle exploration, with self-guided walks and a rewarding path up to the historic village of Paleochora. More adventurous guests can arrange guided hikes, boat hire, kayaking or scuba diving. Separate yet close to neighbouring Amalthia Cottage, Arethusa Cottage is also ideal for two couples travelling together who prefer the independence of their own space.



This 1-bedroom cottage (sleeps 2) features an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with TV/DVD player (English-speaking news channels). The kitchen includes an oven, hob, fridge, and dishwasher, and there is also a shower room on the ground floor. Stairs lead to a mezzanine level with a double bed (150cm x 200cm), creating a cosy and well-designed retreat for two.
