Description of object

HELLENIC TOURIST ADMINISTRATION LICENCE MHTE128k92000322401
Mani House is located near Gythio town on the Mani Peninsula, at
Laconia, an area of the Peloponnese rich in history.
Its residents, the Maniots, were forceful men and Mani has maintained
its independence throughout the years.
Overlooking the “SKOUTARI” Gulf, 500 meters away from the sea, offers a stunning view of the sea along with the opposite slopes of the mountain 'Taygetos'.
The house of 441.32 sqm is built on a stone-fenced plot of 5015.41 sqm,
with a living space of 275.75 sqm and 165..57 sqm for auxiliary space including a garage of 80 sqm and 2.7 height.
The traditional buildings of Mani were built of stone following a
fortress-like design; many vendettas amongst the Mani families meant that people built homes to protect themselves. Elements of this traditional style are reflected in the design of Mani House.
The stone walls are combined with a modern interior focused on comfort. The traditional albeit unique property features all modern conveniences including, among others, a sound system for different areas of the house; satellite TV, BBQ, and wood oven as well as an infinity pool with breathtaking views.
The main entrance to the property is from the pool terrace. The infinity
pool is large with dimensions: Length 12.80m x 5.45m width, 1.35m high in the shallow and 3.00m in the deep water. The wooden door leads to a bright and spacious central living area. Each part of this central living space fits beautifully into a perfectly designed interior.
The colours are simple, creams and stone, with a flagged floor that runs
throughout. The shutters are painted in pale pistachio and bright magenta has been introduced throughout the soft furniture and dining chairs which give a contrast of brilliance to the colour scheme. Large French style doors lead from every area to the pool terrace which offers a perfect place to relax for every part of the day.
Enjoy your stay at Mani House using the sun loungers that surround the pool, the shaded areas to dine or sit under the shade of the huge oak tree whilst playing a game of chess or backgammon.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the large central living space and
is fully equipped with all modern conveniences. It offers direct access to a patio at the back of the house which takes on a traditional, cafe-style appearance featuring pretty, metal chairs and tables and a BBQ and bread oven to conjure up the flavours of Greece.
On the same level but in a separate wing are three bedrooms. One has a
double bed with an en-suite bathroom including a bathtub and a large dressing area. Next, there are two twin bedrooms, each one featuring an en-suite bathroom with shower. All bedrooms have direct access to the pool terrace.
The next floor features a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and shower and a comfortable double bed, along with an office desk. This room benefits from a balcony overseeing the pool terrace and sea view.
Finally, on the basement level, the guests can benefit from indoor
parking for 2-3 cars.
On the same level, and for our guests’ comfort, the Mani house caretaker is based. He looks after the property and stays in a self-contained, totally independent apartment, on the basement level. He is very discreet and tends to the engine room located at the same level, as well as the pool, usually twice a week, very early in the morning or very late at night, leaving guests to enjoy their privacy unless he is needed.
The Mani House is located on a large piece of land which has been
planted with colourful indigenous plants, shrubs, and trees. The stone paths, steps, and walkways meander through the property can lead to our old oak tree for the most wonderful shade in the heat of the day.
The property is very well located in terms of accessing the beach and
taverns, sho,s, and cafes which are all a short drive away.
The Mani House is really exceptional and is situated in a part of Greece
that is truly beautiful, unspoiled and wild.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

D-Days out.

Southern Mani peninsula
First stop, Areopoli / «ΑΡΕΟΠΟΛΗ» (22Km south of Kalivia village) has an austere look and plenty of towers and churches.

They are among the most important natural sites in Greece and of great archaeological significance. The tour inside the cave is done with small gondolas. Leaving the “Diros Caves”, drive to,

“Gerolimenas” / «ΓΕΡΟΛΙΜΕΝΑΣ» (19Km) picturesque small coastal village at the southern end of the Mani Peninsula, Τhe name, which means 'Old Harbour', is thought to derive from the ancient 'Ιερός Λιμήν' (Ieros Limen), meaning 'Sacred Harbour' One of the remotest settlements in the Peloponnese, with the pebbly beach, and fresh fish taverns. Do not miss to visit for a coffee, the hotel “Kirimai” which is the result of restored old store buildings, used at old times to cover the transportation needs of the port.

Mystras and Sparta on Mountain Taygetos
Ancient Mystras, (ΜΥΣΤΡΑΣ) the Byzantine city-state (59Km). Go on to the national road towards Gythion, then, Sparta and Mystras.
Mystras occupies a steep foothill on the northern slopes of Mt. Taygetos, 5Km NW of Sparti. The castle on the top of the hill was founded in 1249 by the Frankish leader Wiliam Villeharduin. The whole of Mystras is an open-air museum, a reminder of the glorious era of power and culture.
“Taygetos” or “Pentadactylos” is the highest mountain in the Peloponnese, stretching between the river Evrotas - Megalopolis and Messinia. The top of a height of 2407 meters and is called “Prophet Helias”. It presents a wide variety of flora and fauna due to the large size of only 25 endemic species, while a passage for migratory birds. On the slopes of Taygetos are numerous small villages with great local colour and operates at an altitude mountain resort 1,600 meters.

Close to “Mystras” is “Trypi” (ΤΡΥΠΙ) village (4Km). Trypi is a small village of almost 300 inhabitants. Its main attraction is the steep ravine of 'Kaiadas', where the Spartans were said to abandon their weak and deformed infants as well as the criminals, traitors, and war prisoners. “Kaiadas” is a very scenic gorge and may result a bit frightening for those who are aware of this tradition.
You can find the Byzantine churches of “Agioi Theodoroi” and “Koimisi tis Theotokou” in “Trypi” as well as the abandoned monastery of “Agios “Ioannis Prodromos”. Have also in mind that Saint Nikon lived and taught in the rea and visit his cave.
Apart from historical attractions, “Trypi” is surrounded by beautiful scenery. It has many streams, among which we find the springs of “Karvasaras” and “Vasiloneri”. If you love nature, there are many hiking trails and a climbing park in the “Laggada gorge”.
”Trypi” also has some useful facilities. There are good restaurants with delicious local appetizers and traditional meals at moderate prices. It is recommended to experience Greek coffee prepared on the stove.

Oitylo Agios Nicolas

”Oitylo” (ΟΙΤΥΛΟ) is located 31Km from Kalivia and 11Km from Areopoli and it is the hub transport of the area. It is a traditional village with long history, situated on the place of the ancient city as mentioned by Homer. The church of Saint George and the Monastery of Dekoulon with frescoes since the 18th century are worth a visit.
Drive straight ahead out of Kalivia village. Follow the road without turning left or right, till you meet with the high way. Turn left with a direction to Gythion. At the end of this road, just in front of you the Saint Constantine’s Orthodox Church. Turn to the left to the direction of “Areopoli” (ΑΡΕΟΠΟΛΗ). Before entering the town turn right at the sign to “Limeni” on your right-hand side. Keep driving down, following the road, and then up to the hill.

South of “Stoupa” (ΣΤΟΥΠΑ) on the coast is the picturesque fishing village of “Agios Nikolaos” / «ΑΓΙΟΣ ΝΙΚΟΛΑΟΣ» (4Km from Stoupa) still often called by its older Slavic name, “Selinitsa”. There are three exits off the main road to the coastal road that links Selinitsa to and “Trahila”. Alternatively, there is a gentle coastal path from Stoupa which takes less than an hour on foot (see the maps of both villages, where the walk starts and finishes – you cannot get lost in between). Life is centred on the harbour- a great place to sit, eat and drink while watching the boats coming and going. In the summer the road is closed to vehicles, as taverns make use of the space to put tables and chairs right on the water’s edge. The beach is roughly a kilometre further south; about a 10-15 minute walk.
To reach the place, just follow the direction to “Areopoli” - “Limeni” “Itilo” - “Agios Nikolaos”, then Stoupa.

Elafonissos island
“ELAFONISSOS” is a very small island, just 19 square km on the southern eastern Tip of Peloponnese.
The distance from the mainland is a mere 570 meters of crystal clear water on top of the thin white sand. (22 nautical miles, form (GYTHIO”). There is a boat sailing to the island three times a week from the port of Gythio.

“KITHIRA” island in a distance of 35 km from “GYTHION”. The same boat sailing from Gythio to Elafonissos reach the port of Kythira three times a week from the port of “Gythion”.
Cythera (Greek: Κύθηρα), also transliterated Kythera, Kythira,
Kithira. The Italian Cerigo can be used in speaking of late medieval and early modern Cythera.) is an island in Greece, once part of the Ionian Islands. It lies opposite the South-eastern tip of the
Peloponnese peninsula. In Ancient Greek mythology, Kythira was considered to be the island of celestial Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, (cf. Cyprus, the island of Astarte, the Goddess of Love).
Since the late 20th century, the Kythirean economy has largely focused on tourism, and in the process, has become dependent this provides the majority of the island’s income, despite the fact that Kythira is not one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece. The popular season usually begins with the Greek holiday of Pentecost at the end of May and lasts until the middle of September. During this time, primarily during August, the island's population will often triple due to the tourists and natives returning for the vacation. The largest villages are Potamos, Agia Pelagia, Chora (The capital of the island), Ano livadi, Kalamos, and Livadi

Town: Greece, Peloponnisos, Gythio

One of the favourite places in Greece is Gythio in the southern Peloponissos. It is a port town with lots of good fish restaurants, some great “ouzeries” (Place where ouzo is served), and is within driving distance of the Mani, Mystras, and much of the south-eastern coast of the Peloponissos. It also has some amazing old buildings built in the last two centuries. Gythio (or Gythion or Gytheio or Gytheion) is a pleasure to wander through with the neo-classical houses, shops and spectacular old apartment buildings, hugging the side of Mount “Koumaros” all the way down to the sea. It makes you feel like you are in the type of Greek port that disappeared with the introduction of mass tourism into the country. Gythion to its credit is still Greek. But don't get the impression that this is a coastal tourist resort whose citizens are out each day making the city spic and span for the busloads of visitors. This is a working-class town with a crumbling infrastructure and unemployment, a fading once-important port with derelict buildings and an uncertain future. It's the kind of place I like but that does not mean you will, particularly if you are expecting something like “Kardamili” or “Stoupa”. It is an authentic semi-urban Greek port town with both positive and negative aspects.
The waterfront has three sections. The middle part is the harbour with its fishing boats and a few restaurants, pizzerias, cafes and shops, a great place to take an evening promenade with the locals and their families in the summer months. There is a small square known as “Platia Githeiou” and the “Ouzeries”, has some tables in the square and some great “mezedes”.
In a town like Gythion whose visitors are primarily Greeks and Greek-Americans, it is hard to go wrong when going out to eat.
Around the corner on the south side of town is the coastal road lined with fish taverns which end on the small island called Kranai, now connected by a causeway, where Paris and Helen left for Troy after he abducted her from King Menelaus in nearby Sparta. Gythion was the original port for Sparta in the days of the Illiad and the Odyssey. On Kranai you can visit the Tzanetakis Tower, built during the Ottoman rule and which now houses the Ethnological Museum. The lighthouse of Gythio was built in 1873 and is 25 meters tall with a range of 9 nautical miles. Like much of the area around Gythion, Kranai is covered in pine trees.
The other side of the waterfront is an area of cafes restaurants and bars, as well as the town hall, built by Schiller in 1891 which houses the archaeological museum. Schiller also designed the Maiden School up the street, which was built in 1886. Nearby is the ancient theatre built in the first century. This is the more modern part of the town and there are apartment buildings and shops including a couple internet cafes.
