Villa Katrin offers a rare opportunity to experience the true heart of Greece. A short
drive from Athens, located on the second largest island in Greece, you will find yourself in the quiet and beautiful countryside village of Katheni. With a population of about 150, this
quaint village is very special. The Greek Orthodox Church is the anchor of the village
which hosts a coffee shop, three family restaurants, a bakery, pharmacy and mini-market.
The nearest town is about 20 minutes away.
Many tourists are now traveling as a group and all with different needs. We understand this and give you the options to create the holiday you want. You choose the experience.
This home is perfect for a large family or group of friends. The first floor is the dedicated living area with a large living and family room complete with a full size bar. On the second floor, there are six bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The owners suite boasts a large sitting area, dressing room, fireplace and 180 degree view of the mountains and valley from your bed.
As a guest of Villa Katrin you will experience the food, culture, natural surroundings, and above all—the privacy—that only a private home can provide. Along with the friendly hosts guiding your stay, you will have the opportunity learn to cook using recipes and methods that go back hundreds of years should you choose this experience.
Not into cooking? Not a problem. You can enjoy one of the 110 beaches of Evia, take an archeological tour, visit a local winery, go for a hike on one of the many hiking trails or drive to north Evia and check out the natural hot springs and sites along the way.
Having a vehicle is highly recommended.

Evia is rich in ancient history, especially concerning the Trojan War. The Island holds a prominent and dramatic role in Homer's Iliad. Among many sites, you will discover the Ancient Temple of Artemis (the Goddess of hunting) where Agamemnon sacrificed the sacred deer before setting sail for Troy. If you are a fan of Greek Mythology, you will find the lands come alive as you explore the rolling fields of farmlands and mountains where fair maidens hunted the land and bathed in streams.
Without a doubt, the ancient Greek soil and the perfect weather combine to create some of the best wines and spirits in the world. There are several family vineyards and distilleries on Evia, which make wonderful day trips from Villa Katrin.
Located to the north of the villa, Edipsos is one of the most famous spa towns in Greece. Popular since ancient times, the healing properties of the thermal springs (about 80 of them) were mentioned in the works of Aristotle, and have hosted notable visitors from Marcus Aurilius to Aristotle Onasis to name a few. You may find semi-thermal sea water at certain beaches where thermal springs reach the sea. Make sure to add this day trip to your 'do-not-miss' list.
Visit a local farm to learn the ancient art of making Greek feta cheese. Each region in Greece creates a special feta that incorporates their unique flavors. This is a wonderful and flavorful experience.
Explore the hidden and out of the way sights of Evia on a bicycle tour.
Evia has a fantastic nightlife scene! There are several night clubs in Chalkida to dance the night away. The best part is, you can be back to your country home in just 20 minutes.
One of our favorite night clubs in Chalkida is Mist Club.
