About George Melidonis

Not unlike most of our guests, Kasia and I have long dreamed of a place in the country. We chose Viglafia as it reminds us of the Greece of our youth. Here time has not moved as it has in the rest of the world. Fresh vegetables are still bought from stalls on the side of small roads. The butcher and baker have not yet been completely replaced by the supermarket. Houses, shops and even the people are quiet and unassuming. Most importantly, nature abounds and the sea is crystal in all its seasonal moods and shades. We love to share this area and are very pleased to be your hosts. We also enjoy cooking, reading, surfing, fishing and of course, conversations with new friends from around the world.

Why George Melidonis chose Vigklafia

Pure magic! Even from its raw beginnings it was clear that this property offered peace, tranquility and a sense of history. The views and the amazing beaches close by, made this our obvious choice in our search for our Greek country dream.

What makes this House unique

The property is surrounded by olive groves and sits upon a hill with wonderful views of the Laconian Gulf and the island of Elafonisos. The ferry to the island is 1km from the houses and just beyond it, is 14km of white sand beach and the sunken bronze age city of Pavlopetri. The small village of Viglafia is 300m from the houses and has some nice country restaurants, as well as an old coffee shop and numerous summer rentals. The town of Neapoli is 15km from the property and offers shops, supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops and the ferry to Kythira. The houses are far enough away from the village that they are private and tranquil, yet close enough so that you can still enjoy modern conveniences. We look forward to welcoming you!
