ABOUT US

Established in 2011, Timedrops is located in an area away from the masses of tourists that visit the island, making it suitable for a proper relaxation! The archaeological site of the Kasteli of Emporeio, where our villas are located, with its traditional architecture, its stone-build houses and its narrow streets will make you feel as if you’re travelling back in time.

As with all the most beautiful parts of the island, it is advisable to rent a car or a motorcycle, for your convenience. Another way to travel around the island is public transport, with buses departing regularly from the central plaza of Emporeio (that is located only a short few minutes walk away from our villas) for the whole island. 

SIGHTSEEING

Timedrops is located at the Kasteli, which is the archaeological site of the village of Emporeio. We would suggest you to visit the Venetian tower of Goulas and the labyrinthine narrow streets of the Kasteli. There is a plethora of activities to engage in and many interesting places to visit within a short distance from Timedrops:

  • The windmills of Emporeio are in themselves a splendid spot to enjoy a lovely sunrise or sunset.
  • The famous prehistoric settlement of Acrotiri (often called the Aegean Pompeii) and the picturesque castle of the village where you can visit the museum of ancient Greek and folk music.
  • The internationally known Red Beach, the famous beach of Vlychada with its moon-like terrain, the unique black beaches of Perissa, Perivolos and Aghios Georgios.
  • The museum of tomato in Vlychada and the artistic events during high season.
  • The ancient Greek tombs of Aghios Georgios.
  • The castle of Pyrgos and further up the monastery of Prophet Ilias, the highest spot of the island, offering a marvellous panoramic view.
