Arrival

Astraea Luxury Villa is located in Livadaki, a quiet coastal settlement just 3.5 km south of Karystos, on the southern tip of Evia Island. Surrounded by sea, hills and open skies, it offers both privacy and easy access to the town.
The most convenient route is via the Rafina–Marmari ferry. From Athens International Airport, Rafina Port is approximately a 30-minute drive. The ferry crossing to Marmari takes about one hour, followed by a scenic 15–20 minute drive to Astraea.
While not essential, having your own vehicle is highly recommended. It allows you to comfortably explore Karystos, nearby villages, beaches, hiking routes and local attractions at your own pace.
Karystos town is approximately 3.5 km away, or about a 5-minute drive. There you will find cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, pharmacies, healthcare services and the town's lively waterfront.
The nearest beach is located approximately 100 meters from the villa. Its shallow waters make it particularly suitable for families and relaxed daily swims.
Yes. Private on-site parking is available for Astraea guests throughout their stay.
Υes. In addition to the villa's private parking area, guests may also park outside the property. The neighbourhood is peaceful, with very limited traffic.
Standard check-in is from 12:00 and check-out by 11:00. Detailed arrival instructions will be provided before your stay.
Whenever possible, we are happy to accommodate special arrival or departure requests. Please contact us in advance and we will do our best to assist.
The crossing typically takes around 60 minutes, offering one of the quickest and most pleasant routes from mainland Greece to southern Evia.
Public transportation is available between Athens, Marmari and Karystos. However, for greater flexibility and convenience during your stay, we recommend travelling with a car.
Most guests choose to travel from the airport directly to Rafina Port by taxi or rental car, take the ferry to Marmari, and then drive to Astraea. This is generally the fastest and most comfortable option.
