The House is spacious and very tastefully furnished, with over 650 sq m of living space, large terraces facing onto the gardens, and a separate private pool area surrounded by ancient walls and stonework. The pool area has a large spit BBQ and a bar area with fridge and all facilities, so you don't have to move far for refreshments. Original 2,400 year old walling has been retained around part of the the pool area.
The House's 13 rooms include 3 bathroooms (2 with baths and 1 with walk-in shower), a farmhouse style kitchen with farmhouse table, a separate dining room for 8-10 people, a beautiful Turkish-styled room separate from the main living area, which can double as another living area or additional bedroom, and 5 standard bedrooms.

The Mainland Greece region
Having exported chaos, drama, tragedy and democracy before most nations were staying up late enough to want souvlaki, Greece boasts an unrivalled legacy. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world - the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysos.
From sometimes smoggy Athens to blindingly bright islands, ancient fragments abound - the navel of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete and even - as some might believe - the remnants of Atlantis at Santorini.
Lamia / Achinos area
An easy drive from Athens airport, within 5 minutes of beaches, in a rural and REAL Greece setting amongst olive groves and palm trees.
The area is where Athenians themselves like to weekend so although a rural location, there are plenty of beaches and many sophisticated cafes, bars and tavernas and restaurants and beach side clubs within short distance. Nearest beaches are 5 minutes away.
