The whole property is fenced around for privacy and includes a huge private parking.
Accessibility
Unfortunately our property is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Outside
Beautifully formed garden, large paved patio area equipped with wooden outdoor furniture for enjoying a cup of tea or even for an open-air dining, private pool of 60 sq.m. (depth 80cm -1.85m) surrounded with sunbeds and umbrellas, poolbar with stools and separate fridge and poolside shower. Outdoor furniture on every single balcony, too.
Coast/Beach
Secluded bays with crystal clear sea water or organised beach bars with sea beds and umbrellas? The choice is yours and rests 7km away (10 minutes drive) to Xylokastro.
Skiing
The location of our property is an ideal attraction throughout the whole year, because our tiny village is situated 10 minutes from the closest beach (Xylokastro), but also 35 minutes from the closest ski resort (Trikala Korinthias, 1.600m-2.376m). A special characteristic of our area is the intense alternation of scenery and altimeter in very short distances. 'Trikala' is one of the top cosmopolitan destinations the latest years, for winter season in Greece, where someone can choose between beginner's ski slopes with trainer, routes for advanced skiers, games for the children with sleds, even climbing at the highest point of the mountain "Ziria" through marked paths and whatever the choice will be, returning back to the beautifull cafeteria for a hot coffee or a hot chocolate, ends in the best way an extreme day.
Travel
150km from Athens International Airport, 130km from the port of Piraeus and 90km from the port of Patra. The use of car is essential, so in case you are interested in car hiring, please let us know in order to provide you all the necessary information.

Further details
As mentioned above there are beautiful traditional tavernas and a mini market very close to our property, in the main area of the village. Xylokastro on the other hand offers different choices of restaurants with Mediterranean cuisine, located by the sea. Apart from medical center, supermarkets, commercial shops, banks, ATMs, cafes, there is also vibrant nightlife in Xylokastro. We couldn't fail to mention the magnificent pinetree forest of Pefkias, "The green shore of homeland", as it was described in a great Kostas Kariotakis poem, the source of inspiration of another poet Agelos Sikelianos, an absolute oasis on the east side of Xylokastro, with 83 different species of plants and trees and marvelous little paths leading straight to the beach.

Owner profile
About the owner
Hello! I am 30 years old, I was born and grew up in Athens, the capital of Greece and since year 2000, I live in Xylokastro, Corinth, in our family house with my husband and my parents. I got married in 2008 and on the 14th of July 2010 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. My husband and I run another business in the same territory, dealing with car selling and washing. When we were given the chance to leave Athens and move to this tiny village called "Riza", my mother's homeland, exactly 7 km off the main town of Xylokastro, we took the decision without having any second thoughts.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
In April 2000, we left behind the big crowded city, with all the graceless huge buildings, the traffic and the fumes and we ended up in a small hidden paradise, with picturesque little houses, traditional tavervas and coffee shops. Though we are common people, working hard, facing the daily routine and trying to improve our lives, we've managed to weak up more optimistic, positive and we reload our batteries just by facing every single morning a clear blue sky and all those beautiful landscapes filled with olive, orange and lemon trees. So, a few years ago we decided to buy a piece of land and build a cute and comfortable villa, in order to offer other people too, the chance to enjoy every now and then the magic and the serenity that life and holiday in this countryside can offer.
