Kyparissia/Pyrgos; walk to village, short drive to beach
Peppos House and cottage
sleeps up to: 10
This property consists of 2 walled and self contained old stone buildings on the edge of a traditional Greek village with sea views in one direction and stunning mountain views the other.
Airports: 3 hours from Athens airport, 90 minutes from Araxos and 45 minutes from Kalamata, but a world away. Both are stylishly renovated to keep the traditional warmth and appeal but adding all the modern luxury.
A 10 minutes drive below the village are the many unspoilt beaches of Messinia with a great taverna on the sand. The mountains lie just behind with ruins of Ancient Figalea, Temple of Vasses, the Neda Valley Gorge Trek and waterfalls. Both places provide ideal bases for beach holidays, mountain walks and rides (2 mountain bikes available for hire) or for just the sun.
This property will sleep 10 comfortably. It would be ideal for 2 families or a family wanting separate accommodation option for grandparents or nannies, etc.
The properties are both walled and gated in beautifully designed whitewashed stone - a Moorish look. They are separated by a small track - so if you rent both, then all the occupants can use the outside facilities of both properties, wandering across to the small pool or just lying on one of the many terraces or in a hammock. Because the local Greeks sleep in the summer afternoons (the 'Mesi Meri') we have decided that this is not available to large groups who wish to party and make a noise. We wish them well but not in this tranquil spot.
The village is a typical rural Peloponnesian community. Predominantly it’s a farming community of olives, sheep and vines. The stretch of coast between Kyparissia and Pyrgos has been untouched by tourism and has some of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in the Peloponnesian including a 60 km stretch of white sand running from just below the village all the way to Pyrgos. Inland you immediately see the mountains and there are endless ancient sites, villages and walks to be discovered without any effort at all. Just head in any direction and discover. There is a wonderful taverna in the village within 200 of you. Kyparissia is the main market town (15-20 min. away). Here you find shops, banks, restaurants, bars and Greek nightclubs! T
he village itself has also a tiny cafe which looks exactly as it must have 100 years ago, with photos of the owner Costas getting married on his horse. The Kafenion chairs and table spill out onto the road.
