It is situated between Lythakia and Agalas and is close to several popular destinations, Agalas, Keri, Lythakia and Agios Sostis.
The villa has all the details you would expect from this property with many extras to ensure a wonderful holiday away from it all.

This is a truly impressive property and, talking to the owners, they told us that they used to love here. You can really tell that because, unlike other villas we have stayed at, they really have thought of everything and they really know what's important. Whilst we were staying in the villa there were wildfires in the area and the communication and support from the owners was simply excellent. Thank you Tasos and Sinead!I'd have no hesitation in recommending this villa. A great isolated location, with everything you may need, along with owners who really care about their customers.
Our family of 5 spent a wonderful week at Villa Koukouvayia.
It's a beautiful villa, and the photos are completely accurate.
Totally remote and not overlooked. Great privacy.
Pool and sun loungers great, we cooked at the outside kitchen and sat around the firepit in the evening with the great water feature running. No issues with wasps.
Tasos & Sinead's communication was excellent, and they were very accomodating.
All in all, 10/10. Would definitely come back :)
