Stone Upon Stone

Stone Upon Stone: Peloponnese

The phrase stone's throw has never rang more true than with this beautiful home, only 50m away from the beach. So close, you can wake up just before dawn, walk down to the sandy shores and still make it in time to see the sunrise on the horizon. Of course, with the balcony being what it is, you can always use the walking time to make yourself a cup of coffee instead and sit down at the small bistro table to see the daybreak from there.

There’s also a small veranda connected to the front of the home that makes for the perfect spot to enjoy an afternoon beer, but not before a breakfast at the dining table inside. Cleverly spread across different levels, this home really maximises the space so you can get the most out of your stay. The kitchen, for one, is compact, but it has everything you need to put delicious meals together.

Access the outdoors from various rooms – you might even fling all the doors open first thing in the morning, allowing the sea-salt breeze to whisper through. Add the natural stone walls to the bright space and you have a natural environment that feels homely and creates a summery atmosphere. Embrace it with lazy mornings in the living room, or entire days on the beach. Visit Astros Castle, a few minutes away, and follow it up with lunch at one of the local tavernas.
