Located only 30 minutes from Kalamata Airport, Villa Kefi is in the pretty little village of Chrani. It is a charming house with a large covered terrace and a lovely garden full of citrus and palm trees, roses and bougainvillaea. With a superb built-in barbecue and bar, it is perfect for outdoor summer living for large families and groups of friends. There are tiled floors throughout, timber ceilings, shutters and screens at the windows. The spacious living room has an attractive open fireplace.
The beach is close enough to nip back for your suntan oil, should you forget it and there are half-a-dozen really good local tavernas within walking distance plus a couple of bars and a couple of mini-markets.

Kalamata Airport is open 1st May to 29th October. At other times, guests must fly to Athens and take a bus or train to Kalamata, or hire a car. Chrani is about 4 hours drive from Athens.

Chrani is about 10 minutes away by car from Koroni, an historic Venetian port with fortress and Zaga Beach where turtles nest. Kalamata, the capital of the Peloponnese, is 30 minutes drive. Within two hours drive you can reach Methoni with an amazing fortress with the remain of a medieval village, Pylos, scene of the Battle of Navarrino, the Palace of Nestor, the Diros Cave and the fascinating archeological site of Ancient Messinia.

Guest comments
Just to let you know we had a marvellous holiday and loved Chrani and the area around we had a very good hire car deal from Takis and enjoyed the company of Janis in the Poseidon bar. Well we got back home on Sunday after a fantastic two weeks.
Absolutely did what it said on the box. Very peaceful, laid back time everybody did their own thing and it worked perfectly. Kostas was an absolute sweetheart with cars and things and very welcoming as were iannis, mary and george. The kids loved the bar, jamie took his guitar and played a couple of songs sometimes and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
We just got back from Greece today and I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time and the villa was absolutely perfect for our needs. We tended to go the beach early, spend the hottest part of the day at the villa (Emily loved pottering around the veranda) and go to the beach again late afternoon.
