Full Description
This is a sought after area for Kalamatians as it is very near Kalamata and yet in a totally peaceful area with dramatic views.
The house is tucked away in the little village and surrounded by lush vegetation, in a traffic-free location up a footpath only 110 metres from the road and spacious parking area.
Near the village there is a small supermarket which sells fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs and cheese - mostly produced by the owners or local people. Further on there are additional shops including a butcher's, a baker's and a chemist's.
There are also a few nearby tavernas.
The beaches of Kalamata are a 5-min drive.
Within a short drive (6 Km) is Kalamata City and its extensive amenities - supermarkets, hospital, clinics, doctors, schools, university, theatres, cinemas, sophisticated shops and probably well over 200 restaurants and bars. The facilities of the city serve every taste from childhood onwards.
Kalamata's international airport is a 20-30 min drive.
Athens is a 2 ½ hour drive on totally brand new motorways.
That the city is literally on the doorstep of the house, yet the house is located in the first village of the Mani - this is the crowning glory.
