The apartments are cleaned twice a week, as well as fresh linen changes, but it's possible to make other arrangements suited to your needs.
Daphnes apartments are found within the boundaries of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos in Greece, just above Porto Roma Beach on the Vassilikos peninsula. They are set in a large olive grove away from the road.
A beautiful garden with lots of flowers surrounds the buildings emphasizing the over all atmosphere of peace and quiet. The buildings are designed in the traditional Zakynthian country style with exposed beams, large private verandas and tiled roofs. There is a playground for the children and lots of space in the garden to put up your hammock, play boule or to move out the dinner table from the veranda for a lunch in the shade of an olive tree.
The BBQ is a natural meeting point and the reception offers wifi, local information, games and beach gear, bicycles and Stand Up Paddle board(SUP).

Daphnes is a three minute walk from Porto Roma Beach, which is a lovely little beach, gently sloping and free from currents.
Above the beach, overlooking the sea is the Porto Roma Tavern and a beach bar without music.
A few minutes walk up the road there are two more local taverns.
There you will also find a well-equipped mini-market where fresh bread, fruit and vegetables are available.
Here you can also rent a car or book a Turtle safari. Next to the mini-market there is a small hotel with a pool open to all.
The local bus stop is next to the mini-market. The nearest ATM is also 1 km away. The bakery and coffee shop as well!
Vassilikos is still one of the most undeveloped areas of Zakynthos, but it is able to cater for many tastes.
Within walking distance of Daphnes and spread throughout the Vassilikos area there is a varied selection of taverns, coffee bars and restaurants which can offer both local Greek dishes and International cuisine.
Vassilikos has some of the best beaches of the island. Many are gently sloping and sandy, and well guarded from the wind which make them ideally suited for children.
Gerakas Beach, the nearest turtle beach, is 1 km or a 20 minute walk from Daphnes.

There are several ways of getting
Charter flight directly from your country to Zakynthos is sometimes the easiest and cheapest way.
Regular flight from your country to Athens is another alternative. Then you take either domestic flight or bus to get from Athens to Zakynthos.
You can also rent a car in Athens and drive to Zakynthos. It is a 3 hours drive to Killini port and 1 hour with ferry to Zakynthos.
Ferry boat from Venice, Ancona or Brindisi in Italy to Patras is the alternative for you who travel either by car or train. It takes about 20 hours with the Superfast Ferries from Venice. Then there is a further hour drive by car or bus from Patras to Killini port, from where the ferry boat takes you to Zakynthos town in 1 hour.
There are 4-6 ferry departures from Killini every day. You can reserve a place for your car in advance, which is recommended if you are travelling during high-season.
There are also direct ferries from Italy to Zakynthos.
There are daily domestic flights from Athens to Zakynthos with a journey time of 45 minutes. The one-way ticket for adult costs about 110 Euro. Half the price for children 3-12 years old.
There is also a bus service from Athens which takes you to Killini with a journey time of 4 hours and a further hour by ferry boat to Zakynthos. Total cost for a one-way ticket is about 38 Euro( bus and ferry tickets).
From St Nicholas (1 hour drive from Daphnes), at the north of Zakynthos, there is a twice daily ferry service to Keffalonia, our nearest neighbouring island.

Paradise!!?
Peaceful place amongst Olive trees... 1 km walk to the sea and several really nice fish restaurants.. Close to a huge beach with possibility to find privacy. Exkursion to "Turtle Island" with diving into deep blue caves etc! Daphnes offers comfort, beauty and adventures!!!

Answer from Mrs. M. Renhuldt:
Thank you Eva for leaving a review! I would just like to comment on the distance to the beach; it is only 100 metres from Daphnes entrance to the nearest beach(Porto Roma) and not 1 km as you mention. Porto Roma beach is a serene small beach with sand and pebbles. You can see the sun rise there. Fishing boats bob gently nearby, complementing two charming beachside restaurants offering peaceful seaside dining. The atmosphere is quiet and tranquil, without intrusive music, with the beach gently sloping into clear waters over a sandy bottom. To the Gerakas Turtle beach it is 1 km. Kind regards, Maria

Beautiful and relaxing with personal touch
We had a lovely stay at Daphnes, as many times before. We visit to relax and recharge our batteries and for this Daphnes is the perfect place offering a beautiful, relaxing and calm experience. Its a small scale business with this special personal vibe that is normally hard to find. Three minutes walking distance is a nice beach perfect for swimming and having lunch. On the beach is also Nicos Beach Bar an amazing small gem with fantastic food.

Answer from Mrs. M. Renhuldt:
Dear Jens,
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us. I notice the 3 stars on Service; let us know if there is anything you miss at our premises. We have updated our Garden Gym this year. We look forward to hear what you will think about it. We look forward to seeing you and your family again soon. Warm regards, Maria

Best for a rest
We have stayed in villa No.1 at Daphne's many times and will no doubt return many times more. It's like home from home.
Simply furnished yet very comfortable it is the ideal place to unwind and provides all that we need to cast away our cares. The hosts, Maria and Dionysis, are always so welcoming and helpful ensuring a trouble-free stay and there are plenty of excellent restaurants within easy walking distance. The beach is only two minutes walk away.
Most of all we enjoy the peace and quiet that Daphne's affords and we can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who prefers to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts.

Daphnes Villas were created by Maria Renhuldt and Dionysis Tsilimigras in 1987. They are managing Daphnes together with our now adult children Kai and Panagiotis and gardener Mr Miris. Dionysis is from Athens, Greece, and Maria is from Stockholm, Sweden. After studies abroad Dionysis returned to his father's property in Vasilikos, Zakynthos and when he met Maria in 1985 they started building Daphnes villas. They are hosting guests from all over the world. They are thrilled to now welcome the grandchildren of their first guests from 40 years ago!
