Kyparissia

The property is located at the seafront of the charming seaside town of Kyparissia on the western coasts of Peloponnese, the notable mention of which can already be found in Homer’s Iliad. The very name “Kyparissia” stems from Cypress tree, one of the trees which according to the Bible grew in the Garden of Eden; and which is also presumed to be the original building material of the Noah’s Ark.

One of the landmarks of this enchanting romantic town is its remarkable historic Old Town situated on top of the hill overlooking the gulf of Kyparissia along with its famous historical and touristic site known as the Castle of Arcadia. The whole region of Western Peloponnese is extremely popular for its ancient architectural sites, exceptional beauty and its pristine, untouched nature, which includes waterfalls, mountain rivers, olive groves and vast golden beaches. In fact, the coast of Kyparissia is renowned for being the starting point of the longest coastline in Europe that can boast a great variety of unique beaches that would be equally pleasing for children, snorkelers and experienced surfers alike. Additionally, this region, specifically the Kalo Nero shoreline, is world famous for being the hatching place of Caretta Caretta sea turtles. For this reason, this place is regularly visited by a large number of nature protection enthusiasts.
