Situated in Archanes, Fοivos and Athina Villas features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with a barbecue. The accommodation has a jetted shower system.

The units provide views of the garden and come with a seating area, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and bed linen for an extra charge.

The view from the top of the steep hill is spectacular; from every room one can see the ocean and mountains. It is very quiet and private, and the property is lovely. The washing machine was not as large as I had hoped but the shower was fine. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Parking was ample and easy on the property. There are excellent restaurants a short drive away. The kitchen could use a few more items for preparing meals. Four of us spent two nights quite comfortably.

    During our recent visit to the picturesque village of Arcanes in Greece, my mother and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful maisonette. From the moment we arrived, our contact person Konstantinos warmly welcomed us and provided us with assistance throughout our stay. The maisonette was very clean, comfortable and has a collection of beautiful antiquity objects representing various regions of Greece. Each item seemed to have its own unique story to tell, adding an extra layer of charm and authenticity to our experience.
