Dasillion Apartment by Alexia is a brand-new ground-floor apartment in the center of Igoumenitsa, just a 2-minute walk from the town square and a 5-minute drive from the port serving Corfu and Italy. It sleeps up to 5 guests, offers free driveway parking for 2 cars, air conditioning throughout, and two outdoor spaces — a large lawn terrace and a balcony overlooking the forest. A practical, well-run choice for families and travelers using Igoumenitsa as a base for Sivota, Parga, and the Acheron Springs, or as an overnight stop before an early ferry.
Why stay at Dasillion Apartment
The real strength of Dasillion isn’t a flashy name or resort amenities — it’s the location and the sheer logistical convenience. Two minutes on foot puts you in the middle of Igoumenitsa: tavernas, cafés, supermarkets, pharmacy. Five minutes by car puts you at the port, where daily ferries depart for Corfu and Italy. That combination — walking distance to town + close to the port + sleeps 5 with free parking — makes it especially useful for:
- Families and groups catching a morning ferry to Italy (Ancona, Bari, Brindisi, Venice) who want to sleep close by without staying right in the port bustle
- Travelers using Igoumenitsa as a hub for day-trips to Sivota, Parga, the Acheron Springs, or a same-day round trip to Corfu
- Groups of 3–5 who prefer apartment autonomy (full kitchen, in-unit washer, two separate bedrooms) over two hotel rooms
- Drivers who want guaranteed free parking at their door instead of hunting street spots in a port town
By the numbers: 4.98/5 on Airbnb across 65 reviews, 9.4/10 on Booking.com (3-star category), and Superhost for 3 years running for host Alexia. The apartment sits in the top 5% of listings on Airbnb for ratings, reviews, and reliability.
The space: what you'll find inside
This is a ground-floor apartment, which means no stairs at all — a bigger deal than it sounds when you’re wheeling luggage before a ferry, traveling with small children, or with someone who has trouble on steps.
Sleeping layout:
- Bedroom 1: one double bed, comfortable for a couple
- Bedroom 2: two single beds (ideal for children, siblings, or friends)
- Living room: sofa bed (+1 guest), smart TV
- Kitchen: fully equipped
- Bathroom: one
Air conditioning in every room (both bedrooms and the living room) — non-negotiable for Igoumenitsa, where summer highs regularly clear 32°C. Free Wi-Fi and an in-unit washing machine (genuinely useful on longer trips, especially after beach days). Smart TV for streaming.
Outside, there are two distinct spaces: a large lawn terrace (great for morning coffee or an outdoor dinner) and a balcony with a view of the forest behind the building. Before every new arrival, the apartment and all frequently-touched surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Location and what's nearby
Dasillion sits in a practical corner of Igoumenitsa — close to the town center without being on top of the busy main port area. Guest ratings for location average 4.8/5 on Airbnb.
Distances by car:
- Town center: 2 minutes on foot
- Igoumenitsa port (Corfu & Italy ferries): 5 minutes driving
- Drepano beach: 6 km / ~10 minutes
- Sivota (Bella Vraka, Mega Ammos, Zavia): 24 km / ~30 minutes
- Parga: 44 km / ~50 minutes
- Acheron Springs (Glyki): 49 km / ~55 minutes
Ideas for your itinerary: a day trip to Corfu on the ferry (fastest crossing is Lefkimmi ~50 minutes; Corfu Town is ~1h10–1h30 depending on the operator); a beach day at Drepano with lunch at Barbaroses Seaside Bar & Restaurant or the Makrigiali canteen; dinner at Thalatta taverna in Plataria; hiking or rafting at the Acheron Springs; coffee at Verde in the center. For EV drivers, Igoumenitsa has around 8 public AC charging points on Chargemap (including PPC/DEI Blue points at both the passenger terminals), and IONVOLT rents EVs locally (Hyundai Inster, BYD Dolphin, Leapmotor B10) if you want to keep the trip electric.
Who it suits — and honest drawbacks
Dasillion isn’t beachfront, and it isn’t a hotel with reception, restaurant, or pool. It’s a well-kept, welcoming in-town apartment, ideal when you want autonomy (your own kitchen, your own washer), useful distances, free parking, and privacy.
Good fit if:
- You’re traveling as a family or group of up to 5
- You want to use Igoumenitsa as a base for multiple day trips
- You have a morning or evening ferry and want a quiet, nearby stay with parking
- You want to walk to dinner in town and back without moving the car
Maybe not the right fit if:
- You want a sea view or beachfront stay (Sivota, Plataria, or Perdika are better)
- You’re traveling in a group of more than 5
- You need two bathrooms (there’s only one — potentially tight for 4–5 people in the morning)
- You want resort amenities: pool, spa, on-site restaurant, room service, waterfront setting
