The house:
The house is very attractively restored, blending modern and period features. Around it are small, terraced gardens with mature lemon and olive trees and flowering shrubs, and it is always possible to sit outside in sun or shade.
The ground floor apartment has split level marble floors in the kitchen/dining and sitting areas and is generously furnished and equipped. The bathroom is in marble and includes the washing-machine. A small library of fiction and books on Greece is in the sitting area.
The town's many shops and taverns are a couple of minutes away on foot, and the house has beautiful views over the town itself, the harbour and the mountains of the Argolid.
Nafplion:
Nafplion is often described as the loveliest and most sophisticated town in Greece. With its busy harbour front, narrow streets overhung by bougainvillea and many historically important buildings, it provides a perfect centre for the holiday-maker and tourist without being over-commercialised or spoiled by modern development. Nafplion has both sand and stone beaches, pleasant seaside walks and is close to major archaeological sites.
NB for 2 weeks of the year poetry workshops are held at the house. Contact owner
The Area:
The Argolid qualifies as Greece's best kept secret. The ancient home of great civilisations, it combines its rich archaeological remains with lovely scenery, hundreds of miles of beautiful coastline and a wonderful climate. And it is not overrun by tourists!
And all this only two hours from Athens International Airport.
Other Activities:
Please note that for one week in April & one in September, poetry workshops with top-rate poet tutors are held at this house. Contact owner
