Self-catering holiday homes: Koroni

Make a holiday rental property or villa in Koroni, Greece your home away from home

Located in the southern area of the Peloponnese, Greece, Koroni is a tiny port village, made famous by the dominant castle that stands above the village. This is real Greece at its best, untainted by the onset of mass tourism and located on the wild, unspoilt coast of the Messinian Gulf. A Koroni property is the ideal hideaway in the Greek sun, seemingly a lifetime away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life back home, as well as the tourist crowds that plague many parts of the Greek coastline.

Things to do in Koroni, Greece

Zaga Beach is just a short, leisurely walk from a holiday rental property in Koroni.

The huge castle that stands on a rock above the village is a remarkable sight, and the castle is well worth exploring from a holiday villa in Koroni. The whole village is a delight to tour, with the thin, honey-coloured streets home to villas and houses in Koroni decked out in colourful flowers. There are also plenty of fantastic little pavement cafes and restaurants with views out over the gulf, serving delicious dishes of local origin. Nearby, the archaeological discoveries of Messina and Mystras also provide fascinating places to explore from a Koroni holiday rental.
