Dasillion Apartment by Alexia: Ground-Floor Apartment in Central Igoumenitsa, 5 Minutes from the Port 

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

Frequently asked questions

How far is Dasillion from Igoumenitsa port?
About 5 minutes by car. If you have an early ferry to Corfu or Italy, you don't need to wake up especially early — just aim to be at the port 30–45 minutes before departure.

How many people does the apartment sleep?
Up to 5: two in the main bedroom (double bed), two in the second bedroom (single beds), and one on the sofa bed in the living room.

Is parking free?
Yes. Free driveway parking for 2 cars right in front of the apartment. No reservation needed, no extra charge.

Are pets allowed?
It's best to check directly with Alexia via Airbnb or Booking when you book — the pet policy isn't stated explicitly in the listing.

What's the closest beach?
Drepano beach, about 10 minutes by car (6 km). Long sandy stretch, shallow shore-in water (family-friendly), and two food-and-drink options right on the beach: Barbaroses Seaside Bar & Restaurant on one end, the Makrigiali canteen on the other.

Is it a good base for an early ferry?
Yes — it's one of the more practical places in Igoumenitsa for an overnight stop before a morning departure: close to the port, free parking (you can leave the car and walk to dinner in town), and ground floor (no dragging luggage up stairs).

Will I need a car?
For the town itself, no — the center is a 2-minute walk. For beaches, Sivota, Parga, or the Acheron Springs, yes — you'll want a car or a rental. The Thesprotia KTEL bus network covers some inland routes, but not all the beaches, and frequencies are limited.

Is it suitable for young children?
Yes, it's family-friendly: ground floor (safer, no stairs), two separate bedrooms, a lawn terrace, and the closest beach (Drepano) has shallow water that's good for kids.
