2 Bed House for sale
Gytheio, Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece
Full Description
Meraki House is a beautifully restored traditional stone cottage bursting with character, tucked away just a short stroll from the bustling harbour and vibrant waterfront promenade of Gytheio.
Far from a sleepy seaside spot, Gytheio is a proper, living port town—warm, highly sociable, and full of life, where independent shops, tavernas, and cafés are woven into the fabric of everyday life.
It is the absolute epitome of a "step out of your front door and straight into the local buzz" kind of place.
The house itself has been creatively reimagined without stripping away its historic soul, like original wooden and iron doors, offering an eccentric layout split across two distinct levels with no internal staircase.
The ground floor boasts original stone flooring and a generous living area with a view to the courtyard. Next to it, in a unique twist, the cosy renovated kitchen is a completely separate room accessed via the courtyard, making outdoor dining and popping in and out for drinks an absolute breeze.
To access the first floor, you take the external staircase which lands to the terrace and the covered entrance, adding a traditional, indoor-outdoor flow to the property.
This upper level hosts two bedrooms with the original wooden floors—a comfortable double and a flexible single that makes a perfect home office—alongside a sleek, new shower room.
The outdoor spaces are a true highlight:
• The courtyard: A delightful, secluded haven beneath a lemon tree, and complete with an outdoor shower for washing off salt and sand after a day at the beach.
• The first floor terrace: Perched above the courtyard, this elevated spot looks out over the rooftops towards the sea and the lighthouse, offering an idyllic backdrop for evening drinks.
Measuring 85 sqm on a 127 sqm plot, Meraki House is wonderfully compact, highly manageable, and entirely turnkey.
It is the ultimate quirky summer base in Laconia, or a unique holiday let in one of the Peloponnese’s most desirable coastal towns, delivering bags of personality, and seaside charm.
