Surroundings

Old Skala is steeped in a rich past dating back to Roman times. Perched on a hillside above the sparkling Ionian Sea, the village was originally chosen to thwart pirate attacks. After the revival that followed the 1953 earthquake, Old Skala now blends its ancient ruins with a peaceful renewed countryside charm.

Countryside serenity

Surrounded by the gentle quiet of Old Skala, Villa Oli sits comfortably on a peaceful hillside, with only the melodic chirp of cicadas and the therapeutic chime of goat bells adding a calming soundtrack to the serenity. The villa is accessed exclusively via a charming set of Roman stone steps, gently descending the hillside with spectacular Ionian sea views.
