Cars and parking

Parking

Having a car is essential to getting around the island, and most guests rent cars locally. Contact one of the local rental agencies and reserve a car. Be sure to ask them to hand over the car in Loutraki by the ferry.

If you wish, we can help you get in touch with a car rental agency and get a good price. We have a deal with several local agencies that our guests can get a discount.

The road to the house

The 250 meter concrete road from the main road down to the house is considered rather steep, and has been known to intimidate some drivers. Don’t worry, though. Villa Olivia’s owner, Kirsten, who was born in 1940 drives up and down the road on a daily basis, and it is not as bad as it seems.

Having a 4×4 car makes it easier, but is by no means necessary. The garbage truck does it. Church attendants do it. You will as well.

If two cars meet on the road, it is customary for the car driving upwards to back down to a spot where they can pass. It is all part of the fun.
