The village
The village lies directly on the north coast of the Peloponnesus, 15 kms
west of Corinth, not far from Athens. The village was discovered as a
holiday location in the 1960s by Athenians, wanting to escape the city at
weekends. So it came to be that family villas were established directly at
the beach's edge. To date, the village remains largely undiscovered by
foreign tourism. The house is located at the centre of the village, close
to food stores and taverns offering Greek speciality dishes and good wine.
In Vrachati, the next village along the coast, you can find the holiday
villa of the famous composer, Mikis
Theodorakis. |

The surrounding area
Villa Oleander is ideally located at the "Blue
Flag" awarded beautiful beach on the Corinthian Bay. Situated only 1 hr or 95 km away from Athens, easily accessible from the
highway, the villa is half way between Patras and Athens! There are many places of interest in the area directly
around the villa: the ancient town of Corinth, the fortress of Ancient
Corinth (Acrocorinth), the Corinthian canal, the spa town of Loutraki and
the casino of Loutraki. Day
excursions can be made to Epidavros, Olympia, Delphi, Mycenae, Nafplio and
Athens.

The region is very close to Athens, therefore during the weekends a
great amount of city-residents visit the area. It is suitable for an
excursion any time of year, but it can also be combined with other
remarkable excursions in the Peloponnesus. You can find significant
archaeological sites and wonderful beaches, casino and all these just a
breath from Athens. |
