Woods villa

This luxury appointed villa sits just outside the village of Kato Doloi. It has probably the finest views in the village both mountain and sea. Quiet, yet only 2km from tavernas and shops.

It has a private swimming pool. There are two bedrooms, one double, one twin. The living room will accommodate a further person. The living room has a log fire, the kitchen is fully fitted with cooker, dishwasher and washing machine.

Plenty of room outside to sunbathe in private. The fishing port of Kitries and the beach are only 6 km away. Nearby are the resort areas of Stoupa and Kardamyli. The beach of Kalogria with its invigorating springs is also close by.

This truly is Greece at its best ideal for long country walks, particularly in Spring and autumn. The second highest mountain (Mount Taygetos) on the Greek mainland is also here within the borders of Avia.

There are castles, towers and ancient ruins for those interested in history. The historic port of Kitries has links back to the Greek revolution when the port was controlled by the Mavromichalis family, sadly the castle complex that was here is no more but there are many other historic buildings. Kitries was mentioned by Pausaunias on his travels around Greece in 2 AD. It has links with nearby Zanarta castle and was known by Pausaunais as Gerenia.

The nearby village of Stavropigio has tavernas, bars and grills serving excellent souvlaki and local wine, the centre of the region of Avia is Kambo and here you will find excellent tavernas serving lamb from the oven, fish and much more.

The cosmopolitan city of Kalamata with its unique shops and bars is only 25 km away.

Kalamata is famous for its PDO extra virgin olive and the press at Doloi is one of the finest. The region is also famous for its excellent eating olives and figs.
