Villa Apollon by Block722



Villa Apollon is a stone vacation house located in Vasilikí, on the Greek island of Lefkas, designed in 2020 by Block722.

Oriented west facing towards the luminous seafront, the residents can enjoy hours of sun and unrivaled, spectacular sunsets. Lefkas is connected to the mainland through a bridge, thus easily accessible by car. The island is surrounded by innumerable other Ionian islands and stands as a jewel, with dense forests, cosmopolitan charm, traditional villages, and breathtaking scenery. The iconic white sandy beaches such as Porto Katsiki, Egkremni, Kathisma, and other more hidden gems such as Agiofili, which is almost touchable from Villa Apollon, offer a unique and in high demand destination.
