About the area

Villa Katarina is situated in the rural village of Mavrata in the South of the Island, just 3.8km from the small fishing village of Katelios with it's sand and shingle beach.

From Katelios you may hire a small motor boat for exploring otherwise inaccessible beaches. Katelios is also famous for its fresh fish tavernas and if you like fishing, you can catch your own! This rural setting is a paradise for lovers of nature so if you enjoy walking, discovering rare plants and birds, then bring some comfortable shoes and follow the local footpaths. There is much of interest to explore locally - from the wine estate famous for its Robola, the Sissia Monastery and church of the Virgin of the Snakes. The location of Katelios is hardly commercialized although large numbers of visiting caretta caretta turtles in the area, are of interest to the Katelios environmental group.

The Capital of the Island, Argostoli, is 25km away.
