NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW

The villa is located in an extremely quiet neighborhood called “Moving Rock” (Kounopetra), and people visit it for tranquil sunset walks by the sea. The peninsula has a very particular nature, with incredible rock formations made of clay, exceptional kids-friendly beach 10 minutes walk with red clay sand (nature’s exfoliator), and a picturesque little fishing harbor. The area is famous for a huge rock by the sea that started moving after an earthquake. The rock, following another earthquake doesn’t move anymore but the name stuck with the remote peninsula! You can visit the moving rock, which is located 5 minutes walk from the villa and offers one of the best sunsets in the island.
