HOUSES FOR RENT

The Mani is a spectacular region located in the Messinian Peloponnese. This coast of southern Greece is feted by travel connoisseurs as the New Côte d'Azur and the validity of this comparison assumes form and substance when you set eyes on the magnificent and pristine panoramas of the Mani. Set dramatically against a backdrop of crystalline aqua-blue waters and distant snowcapped mountains, this stunning area overlooks the calm seas and splendid sunsets of the Messinian Gulf. 3 hours & 30 minutes' drive from either the capital of Athens or the port of Patras, and just 35 km from the nearby city of Kalamata, it remains exclusive, remote and unspoilt – a region of exceptional light, grace and grandeur with vistas that are retrospective and spacious.

One of the most attractive houses in the area is also available for rent. It is a new three storey building but built in the traditional style of the area. Its view across the Lakonian Gulf is spectacular and it sits some three hundred metres above the cove of Limenaki Georgina at the Skutari end of the bay of Kamares. Equally spectacular is the view from the sides and back of the house which takes in a horseshoe of mountains where the mountainous spine of the Mani meets the Taigetos range. The house stands in some 4,000, tree-dotted square metres
