About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Idyllic gem, surrounded by olive groves, close to the sea.

The gem, surrounded by olive groves, is sophisticated and comfortably furnished for 3 people, and even makes room for a 4. Family member, if you bring it. Built on a natural stone plateau as a foundation, the outdoor area with natural stone, the interior paved with marble slabs, we have placed great importance in the construction, that here everything remains natural. And because it has to be, doors, windows, ceilings and all solid wood furniture are made.

At the marble table under the covered terrace you can enjoy your breakfast at sunrise or starlight dinner. Already on arrival, the guest has the feeling to pull back and be able to say immediately "mine". Because you experience nature.

Features: If you are looking the more real Greece in its originality, its untouched nature and its open, friendly people and at the same time want to experience a fun-filled, lively holiday, then Western Peloponnese is the right place. Inside the country after Lampia, Oleni, Andritsaina, Neda River or Kalavrita you still face and then a goatherd with his flock or an old man transporting so Allerlei on his ass. It is especially nice early evening with often mirror-like sea, where you can enjoy fresh fish then either in a restaurant or in one of the taverns your food in the kitchen even can even put together on the beach.
Very interesting are also the day trips by ferry from Kylini to the Ionian islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia.

Attractions: Visit in summer music festivals and theater performances in the open air at the ancient theaters.
Walk on historical floors: the ancient sites Olympia, Ilida, Bassae, the Nestor's Palace in Messini and Kalavrita in the mountain region can be reached in day trips. The imposing castle of Chlemoutsi and the famous cattle stomach bay (battle of Navarino) in Pylos are also worth a visit and exciting for children.
Experience in Amaliada the Gypsy Market (every Saturday) - as early as possible in the morning, so you can enjoy it especially in high summer. Fruit and vegetable markets, where farmers offer their harvest, you can also find in the 13km distant Pyrgos (Wednesday and Saturday). Here Shops are plentiful where you can also find everything for your daily needs, u. A. Doctors, banks and post office, as well as taverns and restaurants serving regional cuisine.

Beach life: In and around Agios Ilias there are numerous natural beaches and coves where you can spend carefree days and just relax. The excellent water quality and long sandy beaches of the coast of Western Peloponnese to the few places one of the world where the nature reserve of loggerhead turtle (caretta caretta) nests still your builds (Gianitsochori, Kakovatos and kalo Nero). The mild climatic conditions allow you bathing from May to October.
Famous are also the sulphurous waters of the small lakes of Kajafa and Kylini.
At the Kajafa lake, with the two sources Anigriden and Geraneio on the east bank, tells the saga that the centaur Nessus had washed his wound poisoned by Heracles arrow in the water of these sources, and this explains the unpleasant odor, which is above the lake.

Rural unit
The unit was in a unique location in rural Greece, in the midst of an Olive Tree farm. It was charming, quiet, roomy for us, and functional for our needs. The host was very friendly and kind and helpful. We appreciated the gifts of food (fresh tangerines!). Unfortunately, the unit we were booked for was under renovation, so we stayed in a unit attached to the house. Heating in the back bedroom was minimal, and the internet was not functioning for the first day.

Urlaub inmitten von Olivenbäumen
Urlaub inmitten von Olivenbäumen, mit Blick aufs Meer, quarkenden Fröschen am BioTop und sauberer und zweckmäßig eingerichteter Wohnung. Theo ist ein sehr hilfsbereiter und aufmerksamer Vermieter, der auch mal auf ein Glas seines eigenen Weines einlädt. Auch die Tour mit ihm in sein Heimatdorf war super. Herzlichen Dank für die schönen Urlaubstage Helgard und Martin

Très agréable séjour
La location est très confortable avec une belle terrasse donnant sur les oliviers. Nous avons eu un magnifique accueil avec beaucoup de gentillesse, nous regrettons de ne pas avoir pu assez communiquer en raison de la barrière de la langue.

Wundervoller Aufenthalt
Als Familie mit 2 kleineren Kindern hatten wir einen wunderbaren und erholsamen Urlaub bei "Opa Theo". Es hat an nichts gefehlt und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Strände sind wirklich sehr schön und es war Ende September fast menschenleer und noch wunderbar warm.

wunderbarer Urlaub in zauberhaftem Häuschen
Die Anlage ist sehr schön und ruhig, optimal für Kinder und guter Ausgangspunkt sowohl zum Baden wie auch um Ausflüge ins Land zu unternehmen. Wir haben uns in dem Häuschen sehr wohl gefühlt und stets gut betreut durch den Vermieter. Vielen Dank für 10 sehr schöne Tage!

Wohnen im idylischen Olivenhain
Das kleine Ferienhaus liegt sehr beschaulich inmitten eines Olivenhains. Ideal zum Ausspannen. Zum Meer sind es ca. 5-10 Autominuten. Theodoros ist ein sehr aufmerksamer, unkomplizierter Gastgeber, der sehr hilfsbereit und liebeswürdig ist. Wir nahmen an einer Tour zu einem nahegelegenem Kloster und anschließend zu seinen Weinbergen teil. Wir durften dabei einiges über Land, Kirche und natürlich die Griechen lernen. Gerne kommen wir wieder!

Charmante Übertreibung
Also geräumig und komfortabel ist leicht geschmeichelt. Dennoch, alles da, was man so braucht. Das Leben spielt sich draußen ab. Ein wenig mehr Sauberkeit wäre schön. Aber der Urlaub war schön. Betreuung durch Theodorus war spitze. Er ist immer zu einem Pläuschchen bereit. Wenn Hilfe nötig war oder Fragen auftraten war er sofort zur Stelle und hat Abhilfe geschaffen. Wir haben's genossen.

Griechenland pur!
Die von Weltoffenheit und Liebe zur Natur geprägte Lebensphilosophie der Familie Theodoropoulos spiegelt sich in diesem Hain von Frieden und ökologischer Kulturlandschaft wieder. Wir haben die Zeit im wunderbaren Haus Exochiko genutzt, um abseits vom Alltagstempo zu unserem Mittelpunkt zu finden. Und wir sind wahrlich keine esoterisch verklärten Menschen, sondern Zeitgenossen, die durchaus auch die Hektik einer Großstadt im Urlaub genießen. Trotzdem empfanden wir unsere Zeit hier als Geschenk, für das wir uns bei Theodoros herzlich bedanken. Das Haus ist im Topzustand und in der nahen Umgebung gibt es viele kleine Läden und Supermärkte. Von hier aus ist Olympia nur einen Katzensprung entfernt und Tagesausflüge auf die Inseln Zakynthos oder Kefalonia gut machbar.

Gemütliches Plätzchen für erholsame Tage
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft. Liebevoll eingerichtetes, sehr gut ausgestattetes Häuschen inmitten grossem Garten. Beste Betreuung durch unseren überaus gastfreundlichen Vermieter, Herrn Theodorus, der bei Bedarf stets mit Rat und Tat zur Seite steht! Nochmals herzlichen Dank dafür!
