Description of the Volos vacation Villa Rental 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, 6 Sleeps

Figtrees was built by us in 1990/91. We chose the site as the view was outstanding. We can watch the boats and people coming to and fro, and the islands changing colour as the day goes on. We are above the bustle and noise of the port, and get a cooling breeze during the hot weather.

The house is built on a slope, so there is access to the first floor from the back terrace, so people staying upstairs can be semi-independent. We  live most of the time on the lower terrace, which now has a brand new barbecue.
As we have lived here on and off for more than 20years, we have collected all sorts of extras. There are life jackets, including one for a small child, at least one kite, lots of original paintings, and a few sculptures. We have enough cutlery and crockery for a god party, and we've had some!
The neighbours are multinational, Greek, English, Norwegian,Italian, Dutch, in the immediate vicinity. We are surrounded by fields and olive groves. The hotel 150 yards away has a swimming pool that you are welcome to use, but we do always get some drinks or a meal there, if we use the pool.

Figtrees is booked in your name when you have paid the 20% booking deposit. The balance is payable 6 weeks before you are due to go. The deposit is fofeited if you cancel, unless I am able to get another booking for that time, in which case I refund you your deposit. Early booking, (by six months or more), gets a 10% reduction. Late booking of 1 week ahead gets a 20% reduction. 


Figtrees policy

 Please have a good time. It has always been a happy house.  Just treat the house with respect, as you would your own, and write something in our visitors book, do drawing for us, or write a poem.

My wife Vera has alzheimers disease now, and doesn't travel, but she would rejoice with me that you are. Having a great time.


Figtrees policy

 We aim to give you, with the help of our friends on the island, a relaxing, enjoyable holiday that you will remember with pleasure for a long time.

Carol and Mike Holmes, who look after the house for us, will take you out in their sailboat, if you wish, or help you in any way they can.

Location of Volos Vacation Rental Villa
Area Information :

Alonissos is a green island, as we get appreciable rain in the winter, and usually some summer rain, sometimes with spectacular lightning and thunder. There can be snow in the winter, up to 1/2 a metre, but it doesn't last.

The southern half of the island is wooded, with pines, and farmed, usually with olive trees. The northern half of the island is covered with classical Mediterranean scrub, and grazed by goats. These are kept for milk to make cheese, and for meat.
The sea around the island is designated a Marine Park, in order to protect the Monk Seals, which breed on uninhibited islands to the north of Alonissos. No sewage or other material is allowed to drain into the sea, so it is some of the cleanest in the Mediterranean
. The. Island has many beaches, mo stly on the Eastern side. Half a dozen are easily reached on foot from Figtrees, but if you are not a walker, the taxis will take to any beach you want to go to, and come back for you at a pre-arranged time. Excursion boats go to nearby islands, and beaches, and there are guided walks organised by the travel agencies at the port.
The museum is extraordinary, with an emphasis on the pirates of long ago.
There are several festivals during the summer,( and a major pageant in the Spring).
