| Gargarou overlooks the sea on a hillside between two valleys and has stunning views of natural beauty all around – across the sea to the Taygetos Mountains on the Mani, along the coast to the medieval port and citadel of Koroni, and over the surrounding valleys and olive groves. We are on the Messinian peninsula, the South-West tip of the Greek mainland that is part of the Peloponnese. It’s a relatively unknown part of Greece, there is still no package holiday tourism in the area around Koroni.
The villas are in 2 acres of olive groves and gardens, and there is a sense of seclusion too as the land is not overlooked by any close buildings with the main road 1km further inland. The natural and sandy Gargarou beach is 15 minutes walk (1km) where there are several tavernas. The traditional village of Harokopio is 1.5km away. The medieval town of Koroni (5 km) has a Venetian castle and along the harbour front there are many cafes, tavernas and restaurants where you can eat by the water’s edge. Further afield you can explore more of the magic of rural Greece: beautiful coastal roads, ancient temples, Byzantine churches, archaeological sites, and medieval castles.
There are 3 detatched small villas, each villa has a double/twin bedroom, a living room, a small hitchen, bathroom, and can accommodate 2 people. Rooms have tiled floor and double glass doors with shutters that open onto a small terrace.
Please visit our website for more photos and information.
It is a quiet, rural location.
The nearest supermarkets are a 5 minute drive or a 1.5 km walk away, so you will need a car unless you like lots of walking.
The villas are in an olive grove which has steep banks in places so unfortunately we are not able to take children.
