C14. €130,000  NOMITSI
A multi-levelled old house,
renovated in Greek style
from the living room at the
top of the village, down
three terraces to a
smashing vegetable
garden at the bottom. Nine
rooms and  two kitchens
&bathrooms mean it could
easily become two flats if
you wish. About 12'  from
the sea, within walking
distance of 5 tavernas, it
has lovely sea views.
C12.  €130,000  THALAMES
At the edge of a famous historic
conservation village, with
unobstructed views of the sea,
this house has been rebuilt upstairs  
where there is a bathroom, kitchen,
living room and bedroom opening
onto a terrace. Downstairs is much
larger but needs work. There is a
huge garden with the ruins of yet
another house which could also be
renovated.
C15. €120,000 OPEN TO OFFERS
In a very popular village (Neohori) with
shops tavernas and within walking
distance of Stoupa. This sweet
renovated cottage is deceptive as it
looks small but has two double
bedrooms already and the stone
camaras (vaults) downstairs could
easily be converted into  at least two
more. There are sea views from the
roof terrace.
Comfortable and ready to live in with
all mod cons, it's a bargain.
C16. €140,000  DOLI
At the front of Doli with
wonderful views of the sea

mountains and sunsets;

sq m house has a

kitchen, big double
bedroom and bathroom,
with a huge terrace to
enjoy outside living in the
summer  and possibilities
of a garden if that's not
enough for you.
C8. €150,000  PYRGOS
Ceramics artist renovated this
classic old house  - you can make
an offer for her wheels & kilns if you
wish! Currently there are two large
double bedrooms, but there could
be a third. The living room opens
into the true glory of the place - a
huge courtyard garden, under the
shade of a magnificent mulberry
tree & vines heaving with grapes as
you gaze at the sunset over the
endless turquoise sea.

renovated to make three double  
bedrooms, spacious living room
equally spacious dining room, kitchen

bathrooms and a huge terrace with
endless sea and mountain views.
The yard has been turned into a
garden, but for serious gardeners half
an acre of adjoining orchard is
available. Price negotiable.
C10. €340,000 AGIOS DIMITRIOS
A rare house actually on the sea in a
small harbour very near beautiful
sandy beaches. The house is in good
condition though probably needs
some relatively small changes. Two
large living rooms, two double
bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and
three terraces. There are outbuildings
and two hundred square metres of
garden. Fabulous!
C2. €290,000  KOTRONI
Difficult to get a pic that does justice
to the exterior of this huge, glorious
old house. Hence the masses of
shots if you click on the above. There
are three large bedrooms,an
enormous open living space down-
stairs(it used to be an olive press), 3
separate coutyards/gardens with
totally different aspects. Wonderful
views, walking distance to the sea, &
another lovely old house as part of the
package, just awaiting a roof!
C1. €100,000 ISNA
Perched on the edge of an authentic
mountain village, unaffected by
tourism,this house belonged to a
local woman who joined a nunnery. It
was renovated by a German teacher
and is very simple but in excellent
condition. You could extend it as
much as you wish. It has a massive
garden with various shaded sitting
areas under the trees , wonderful sea
views, and total peace.
C13. €85,000  KAMBOS
An enormous old house (over ten
rooms) in a large garden (over 500 sq
m) in an important yet unspoiled
village half way between Kalamata
and Kardamyli. The two roof terraces
afford views of Zarnata Castle and the
highest peaks of the Taigetos range.
The beaches of Sandova are twenty
minutes away. Full of antiques, it is
possible to live in the house as it is
now but it needs some work (mainly
cleaning and painting) to turn it into a
delicious residence, or even a small
hotel!
C3. €285,000  TSERIA
A truly beautiful renovation in the hills
overlooking Kardamyli. It is a huge
house by Maniot standards at nearly 200
sq m, with 3 double bedrooms, 3
bathrooms, a 42 foot living room, dining
room and sunny seating spaces with
windows all round opening onto the
1,000 sq m gardens. There is a large
wisteria-covered terrace for summer
dining, masses of storage and should
you wish for even more, you can buy D3   
which extends beyond the house's olive
groves.
C4. €230,000 PYRGOs
REDUCED BY €30,000!!!
'Casa Sophie' is a superbly
restored stone house,
originally a tower which
expanded with every new
generation. An 8 minute drive
to the sea at Stoupa, but
wholly peaceful and quiet. A
lovely garden full of fruit trees
which I haven't yet managed
to photograph. 3 bedrooms, 2
shower rooms, plenty of store
rooms -  it is spacious and
totally original .
C9. €129,500  PROSILIO  
REDUCED BY €9,500!!
Just 8 minutes above Kardamyli, with
amazing views all the way down the
Mani coast. Prosilio means 'sun-
facing' as its the only village facing
due south. This charming house has
been completely restored and comes
furnished. It would make an ideal
holiday home for people who don't
want to spend their free time doing
DIY - a couple with visiting family and
friends maybe. There's room in the
garden for a swimming pool (!?)
C5. €230,000  PROASTIO
Simply divine! A large house with three
bedrooms and two bathrooms
downstairs plus an outside shower -
spacious and  minimally but stylishly  
furnished. Upstairs is an enormously
long drawing room, and kitchen/dining
room with an open fireplace.Being at the
front of a village with coffee shops,
tavernas and a general store, it has
uninterrupted sea and sunset views,
and  is only a five minute drive to
Kardamyli and the beaches.
C7. €285,000 PROASTIO
The tallest tower house in
ancient Proastio, just
seven minutes above
Kardamyli, with sea views,
shaded terraces & three
double bedrooms (one
currently used as a study).
Hugely high stone vaults
downstairs & its proximity
to a famous Byzantine
church suggest  it may
have been a bishop's
residence centuries ago.
