Traditional stone house in Koita, Mani, Peloponnese
Set in the historic medieval settlement of Koita in the heart of Deep Mani, this charming 120 sq.m. traditional stone residence offers authentic character across two independent levels. The property is in good, habitable condition, allowing a new owner to move in immediately and modernise at their own pace.
The magic of Deep Mani & Koita
Known locally as Koita Polypyrgos—literally "Koita of the many towers"—this remarkable medieval village boasts the highest concentration of traditional stone war towers in all of Mani. Stepping into its cobbled lanes feels like entering a living monument, where dramatic fortress-like architecture stands proudly against the raw, sun-drenched landscape of the southern Peloponnese.
Deep Mani is famed for its untamed beauty, timeless traditions, and fierce sense of history, offering a rare sanctuary of peace, starry skies, and authentic Greek heritage far removed from mass tourism.

Lower level (60 sq.m.)
