Think Ionian
One of our favourite villa specialists, Think Sicily, has just launched Think Ionian – a beautiful portfolio of largely very family-friendly properties on the islands of Meganissi and Lefkada, in and around the gloriously rustic Ithaca archipelago. Most villas within the Think Ionian portfolio have swimming pools, direct sea access and atmospheric tavernas just a short stroll away – all the makings of the perfect family holiday. We love Avra on Lefkada and Akrothea on Meganissi.
Think Ionian (020 7377 8518; thinkionianislands.com). Villas from £1,599 per week.
