The unique feature of the apartment is its view to the sea (you can even see it lying on your bed) and the very short distance to the sandy beach (100 m).

We generally meet guests in the apartment to give them the keys, so there is also the opportunity to provide them with information about the operation of the house, as well as about the neighborhood. There is a Guide-book in the house with information about the area and its sightseeings and a local map with the points of interest, but we also make a little tour with our guests, if they like, to the center of the town to show them the area and give them more information about shops, restaurants, etc. As there is another apartment on the same floor that we use for our vacations and weekends, there is the opportunity to meet them again, if they like, and to respond to any possible problem.
The neighbourhood is at the outskirts of the town and not crowdy. In a short walking distance there are restaurants, bars and beach bars with umbrellas, during summer. The town centre is one kilometre away and includes shops, bakery, pharmacy, bank, many bars, cafés, restaurants and a lot of night life.
The location of the apartment is very advantageous as, using it as a base-point you can visit almost all Peloponnese with one-day trips. And there are great places to see in Peloponnese: Beautiful cities and villages, nice sea-sides and impressive mountains, medieval castles, and famous archaeological sites such Mycenae, Epidaurus, Ancient Corinth and Nemea, Olympia, Sparta, Pylos and others. The place is half an hour away from Nafplion and Argos, 45 min from Tripolis and Mycenae, one and half an hour away from Sparta, about two hours from Olympia, etc.
During summer, there are daily cruises to Spetses and Hydra islands as well as a bus trip with return, to Epidaurus where you can watch an evening performance in the ancient theatre.
If you visit the apartment during winter, you can even go for skiing to Maenalon Ski center (from December to March) or just drink your coffee viewing the snowy slopes, at a distance of 30 km from Tripolis.
Getting around
It is better to use a car to access the apartment, as it will be necessary for visiting the area and make short or long trips to Peloponnese. But the apartment is also accessible easily by bus from Athens. There is a bus stop (named “Glyfada”) almost opposite to the building to Athens and Argos. We will provide you with all necessary directions to reach the house, regardless of the way you will come.
If you come by car, there is an open parking place that you can use. (No 4)
The access directly from the Airport is easy using “Attiki odos” and then the motorways to Corinth and Tripolis. The distance from the airport to the house is 197 km and the time you need is two hours and 15 min. From the total route, 152 km are in a motorway.
