130sq.m. House in Zagka – Koroni

A wonderful house built 19 years ago with ground floor and first floor which comprise two separate spaces totalling 130 square meters.  The house is accessed by parking at the primary school and walking about 220m down the concrete path shaded by bougainvillea and pine trees.  Or you can park by the taverna at the end of Zaga beach below the castle and walk about 200m along the beach.

The upper floor consists of two bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious living and kitchen area with a high wooden ceiling.  It is framed by a balcony from which there are views south  across the olive trees to Zaga beach and the Mediterranean.  Looking east to the headland you see a church and above it a Venetian castle with battlements enclosing another two churches and a nunnery.   Beyond the headland you can see the mountains of the Mani.

The lower floor also consists of two bedrooms with a bathroom and a large living and kitchen area.  Outside is a tiled terrace for eating, enjoying the sun and reading.  The beautiful garden created by the owners among the olives has lemon, orange, pomegranate and banana trees along with hibiscus, roses, geraniums and other plants   There is a further paved upper terrace with a table for eating, sitting with a drink or watching the hoopoes fly between the trees when they nest in May.

The sea is only 80m away down a gently sloping concrete path part shaded by lemon trees, bougainvillea and bamboo.  It is a one minute stroll. The beach is sandy and turtles nest and hatch there in summer.

It is about a twelve minute walk into the centre of Koroni which is a picturesque, small town with several churches, winding paths and cobbled lanes. Initially Venetian,  it encloses a harbour with several working fishing boats and occasional yachts. There are several cafes, restaurants, tavernas, wine shops, bakers, a supermarket, a health centre, doctors, opticians, banks, pharmacies, ceramic, jewellery and clothes shops.  The historic Venetian castle is an important historic monument where concerts are held outside in the summer.
