The Area
Thea Villas are situated at the most attractive area of Aegina, Kleidi, at the south part of the island. Lying on a slope overlooking magnificent Klima bay they offer spectacular views towards the stunning beach and the wonderful surrounding landscape.
Klima beach with its blue crystal clear waters is the most beautiful beach on the island and it lies only 950 meters away from Thea Villas. The bay is a safe haven protected from meltemi -the dominant northern summer winds. At very close proximity is also the peaceful and secluded Mourioti beach. Other organized sandy beaches like Sarpas, Aegina Maris and Aeginitissa are only a few minutes drive away.
One of the main attractions of the area is little Moni islet with its marvelous green waters, pine trees and wild life. Small boats starting from Perdika make the trip to Moni in 15 minutes.
Perdika is a picturesque seafront fishing village with scenic harbour and famous fish food restaurants. It is only five minutes drive away from Thea Villas. In Perdika the visitor will also find nice seafront cafes, bakeries, groceries, stores and a pharmacy.
The close proximity to the most beautiful beach on the island and the short distance to Perdika makes Thea Villas ideal for people who love to spend time on the beach and want to relax and unwind without the hassle of extra driving.
For the hiking lovers, a path near the villas leads to some of the best paths of Aegina. The route to Perdika is also a favorite walk, especially during the afternoons right before sunset.
