The two villas are completely discreet from each other and there is ample off-road parking. As the owner's live on site they are usually around to help and advise if you need them.
Accessibility
Kolpos Thea is located on a hillside and therefore there are sloping paths and several steps, it would therefore not be suitable for wheelchair users.

Both villas have large veranda areas furnished with soft seating and dining furniture. There is a swimming pool of 10 x 5m shared between the two villas, with large sunbathing area with sun loungers. There is a barbecue area with tables and chairs and a bar which serves drinks, cocktails and delicious home-cooked Greek food.

There is a separate entrance to the owner's basement apartment under Villa Elya.
Coast/Beach
Kolpos Thea is 1.5km from the sea and there are 2 or three sandy beaches in the village (Kalamaki). The whole coast of the Messinian county has got to be the richest in beaches that we have seen anywhere in the Mediterranean. Most of them are sandy and very quiet, although there are beaches with bars and sun loungers for those who prefer them.The local beaches are also breeding sites of the rare loggerhead turtles.
Golf
The Dunes Course, about 1 hour's drive, was designed by former two-time US Masters Champion and Ryder Cup captain Bernhard Langer in association with European Golf Design, is the first signature golf course in Greece.
Set in diverse topography with spectacular sea and river views, tall dunes
divide some of the holes adjacent to the golden beach. This Championship
golf course combines large undulating greens, wide fairways and steep-faced
pot bunkers. The links element of the course adds to its unique style and
playability.The course is designed to provide an exciting challenge for all golfers,with a par of 72.
The Bay Course, 45 minutes drive is also due to open in 2011. both open to the public.
Special interest holidays
If you are interested in a low season Olive Harvest holiday in January or February then please contact us directly for further details. This period is great fun with all the activity in the groves and it is wonderful to watch the olives being pressed and the beautiful green/gold oil pouring out into the vat! This time of year is also the most wonderful for wild flowers, the groves are an emerald carpet studded with colour of the flowers, plants and orchids.

Owner profile
About the owner
We are Cliff and Quee Hobbs. We both love the beauty of nature and the outdoors, one of the reasons for moving to the Peloponnese- an outstandingly beautiful area. Our favourite hobbies are sailing and skiing and we have worked for many years as ski and sailing hosts before opening our villas in Greece in 2008.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The Peloponnese is Greece as it was 20 years ago - a low key holiday area with enough holidaymakers in the summer to give it atmosphere but never busy. The scenery is breathtaking- mountains, waterfalls, rivers, lush green countryside and the beaches are second to none that we've seen in the Mediterranean and never crowded. We also have Kalamata marina nearby for our yacht, and in the winter, we can ski in the North, about 3 hours away so a perfect location for us. The climate is great as well- the summers are warm and sunny but seldom severely hot as in other areas of Greece. In the winter we get rain, but that's what makes our countryside so beautiful. We have Kalamata airport just half an hour away for the summer months and Athens for all year round is only 3 1/2 hours away.
Unique benefits of the property
We are superbly placed here for seeing several ancient sites- Messini and Olympia are within easy reach, we also have several medieval castles nearby. Because we are on a 'finger' of land, we have easy access to the beaches on the East, West and south coast of Messinia so loads of choice and the fishing villages are really picturesque. Driving through the nearby mountain villages you feel you've stepped back in time a hundred years!
One of our most popular facilities here at Kolpos Thea is the sailing trips that we offer our guests. They can sail with us for a day or extend that to up to 4 days with 3 nights on board.
We also have a bar and serve food so you don't have to go out if you've got settled in for the evening by the pool.
