MANI, Peloponnese-BEACH & TAVERNAS 2-10MIN WALK- PEACEFUL LOCATION
This beautifully renovated cottage is in the centre of a romantic fishing village. This is the REAL Greece. A stone-built Captain's house, over 100 years old - something that the foreign visitor will rarely find available to rent. Thick walls keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter. Whilst there are plenty of good tavernas and coffee houses within 2 minutes' walking distance, the house itself is in a quiet backstreet, just two minutes' walk to the sea and just 10 to the beach . The small secluded garden faces west with sun or shade. The village is very typical of something you would have found in Greece 30 years ago; there is no major tourism in this living, Greek village. There is however a medical centre, pharmacy and a few food shops. All these 5 minutes or less walk from the house. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are within 3 minutes walk and cold drinks newspapers and hot, fresh bread are sold just 30 paces away Wireless internet & internet cafe now available locally.

The middle finger of the southern Peloponnese is one of the most beautiful areas in Greece. The huge Taigetos mountains fall into the sea in a landscape dotted with cypress trees and covered with ancient olive groves. The sea, is clear, clean and turquoise blue and beaches are stony to sandy. Aghios Nicolaos is in an area popular with walkers, painters and botanists. It is a hidden gem of great charm. The sea and the beach are both within a few minutes flat walk. Comparatively warm winters and the wonderful light make it great for painting, walking, wild flowers and birdwatching and the sea is warm right through to Christmas. In centre of the village but in a peaceful location. From here you may visit the Ancient Sites of Mystras, Messini, Olympia - easy day trips either by taxi or through a travel company nearby. In season, a bus runs to the local beaches and villages; a car is therefore not essential. Our friendly local taxi can collect you from Athens in low season.
Local activities swimming, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, mountaineering

| Notes: | This lovely old villa is renovated to a very high standard rarely found even in modern Greek self-catered properties. Handmade terracotta or marble floors inside and hammered marble underfoot outside. This place is perfect for a couple who enjoy having a good amount of space in their accommodation. The Bedroom is huge and covers almost the whole of the first floor area; it faces east towards the mountains. An MP3 /CD player is here. The small garden is accessed directly from the Kitchen/Dining Room and faces west. A large sun umbrella shades the outside table and there are both sunny and shady spots in the garden for lazy afternoons. There is an open fireplace in both the Bedroom and the Living area and central heating throughout for the winter months. The Living Area can be used as a comfortable twin-bedded room and closed off to the rest of the villa if required. Steps both from the street and at the rear of the property may make it unsuitable for the infirm or elderly. |
Getting there
Direct flights to Kalamata (KLX) flights run from May through October from Gatwick, East Midlands, Birmingham and Manchester on Sundays. The Taxi charge from Kalamata to the house is about 40 Euros. If you want to take time off in Athens, it can be cheaper to take a flight into Athens (Easyjet) and either hire a car or use Nikos, a good and reliable taxi driver who will take you to the door. The beautiful drive from Athens to Aghios Nicolaos takes approximately 3 1/2hours. There are plenty of places to stop on the way, fabulous views; driving over the mountains is spectacular We would recommend that you do spend a night (at least) in Athens to see the sights, at one end of your break. We can suggest good, reasonably priced, central but quiet hotels that where they can also help you to arrange trips. The usual Car hire companies will deliver/collect to any Athens hotel. On a general map you may find Aghios Nicolaos on the sea about 7km south of Kardamili.
What the area offers?
This is a wonderful place for relaxing, painting, reading and bird watching. Walking, on way marked paths alone or with a leader offers an opportunity to see rare wild flowers and birds. Day trips can easily be arranged to many historical sites - Olympia, Mystras & Monemvasia to name but three. The sea is clean and clear. Snorkelling and swimming are safe - in the village it is via a ladder into deep water at the old harbour and from the rocks, again via ladder (or dive in!) from local tavernas. There are sun shades and beds here and of course drinks and food. Pantazi Beach is a 10 minute walk away is shaded by Tamarisk trees and in summer offers sun loungers/umbrellas/changing facilities/taverna/beach bar/WC. An Internet Cafe will enable you to keep in touch as well as free wireless internet access at the harbour coffee-house (open May-October). A local bus circulates all day to other beaches and seaside villages or hire a bicycle from the shop near the house.

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007
WE found the property spacious and comfortable, the fly screens on the windows were a huge advantage. LOVED the white bed linen and towels.
WE so much enjoyed our stay in your beautiful house. A real gem you have there.
A relaxing break with few people and the showers were the best we have ever had in Greece! TG
WE have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your place. The house is very spacious, perhaps more so than the pictures of the website indicate, so one does not feel claustrophobic. The bedroom on nearly the whole of the second floor is indeed quite something!
LOVED staying in your wonderful house and hope we may be able to return next year. We loved being in the heart of the village and the upstairs room was a joy.
MUCH enjoyed your beautifully converted house.
THE huge bedroom is particularly lovely.
REALLY felt like living in a friend's home .
