Time Out

Villa Antti is set in Mani, along the route to the village of Proastio. It is approximately a three - hour drive from Athens, with the city of Kalamata located thirty - eight kilometres away and Kalamata Airport forty - seven kilometres. Known for its scenic beaches, Kalamata is a year - round destination, offering a five - kilometre stretch of golden sands from Verga to the city’s port, lined with seafront hotels, restaurants, and bars.

Ritsa Beach is a favourite among watersports enthusiasts, ideal for fishing, canoeing, snorkelling, parasailing, and scuba diving. Explore the beautiful coastline by kayak or visit the beaches of Stoupa. Discover the Byzantine heritage of Agios Nikolaos, or head into the Taygetos mountains for hiking and mountain biking, including a trek to the Peloponnese’s highest peak. Other attractions include Chalikias, Salio, and Kalamitsi, as well as the Museum of Victoria G. Karelias, which offers insights into Greece’s rich cultural history.

The centre of Kardamyli is only five minutes from the villa. Nearby, charming villages such as Itilo and Areopolis are well worth exploring, along with the fascinating Diros caves. The cobbled streets of Old Kardamyli reveal historic gems, including the Tower of Mourtzinos and the Byzantine church of Agios Spiridon, noted for its impressive belfry.
