About this property

Stone's Throw Cottage by the sea in Koroni - sleeps up to 6

Stone’s throw Cottage is located outside the town within a 30 minute walk of Koroni center, either along the beach or by road. Just 5 minutes or less by car.
The property is a safe, secluded haven, set amongst an olive grove with direct access to a peaceful, uncrowded beach.
The house is fully equipped to allow for a very comfortable and relaxing stay, putting guests in command of how much they interact with the local community.
The cottage is detached and can sleep up to 6 people using the bed/settee in the living area.
There is a bedroom with a large double bed with very comfortable mattress. A good sized wardrobe and cupboards and this bedroom has air/conditioning.
The slightly smaller bedroom has twin beds with a fan for coolness in the Summer months. Both bedrooms have sliding doors with insect screens leading onto the side balcony with steps down to the garden and beach.
There is a shower room with w.c., basin and shower where water is heated by a solar panel...also a washing machine for your use . All towels including beach towels are provided.
In the living/kitchen area is a bookcase with a good selection of books, some childrens books and colouring crayons. Also a modem with a good wifi connection.
There is a bed/settee with cushions, a table and chairs which can be moved onto the balcony if wished, a fridge/freezer, cooker with electric hob, marble sink with cold water only (hot water can be bought from the shower room), kettle, toaster and juicer.
Leading off the living room is a balcony with table and chairs, bed settee (lovely for that afternoon siesta) and glimpses of the sea just less than 1 minutes stroll away.
Out of the front door of the property down a few steps there is a terrace with a large table and 4 chairs, set underneath a grape vine and looking into the garden and olive grove. There is also an outdoor shower with cold water to wash the sand of your feet when coming back from the beach!
Go down to the wonderful Zaga beach, 2 sun beds are provided and an umbrella, turn left and wander along and into Koroni Centre, dipping your toes into the sea as you go! Along the way is a very nice beach cafe, open in the evenings in the Summer months, climb up from the beach then wander down the winding lanes into town, should you wish to take a taxi home there are several to be found in the town square by the big church, very cheap!
If you turn right when on the beach and wander along you will come across a lovely, family run restaurant named To Limanaki (little harbour), a wonderful place to experience authentic, greek cooking.
The town is also accessible by wandering back up to the lane that leads down to the property, turning right and following roads down into the centre. A short drive away.
Once in town, along the harbour are several restaurants and cafe/bars, always open late in the Summer season, one restaurant specializes in fish.
Sit here and enjoy the beautiful views of the Taygetos mountain range across the bay, the many sailing boats that come into the harbour and of course the fishing boats who sell freshly caught fish from the days catch.
On Sunday mornings early until around midday there is a good produce market next to the harbour, a good place to join friends for a coffee on a Sunday morning!
There are banks with ATMs in the street behind the harbourside, a small supermarket, gift shops, cafes, post office, wine shops and clothes shops, for a small town Koroni has a lot to offer.
Should you want to take a bus trip further afield, buses run from the town square by the big church daily into Kalamata, a vibrant town with a lovely old quarter, many shops and retaurants, museums and a wonderful, long sea front and harbour. Beware though last bus back to Koroni is 19.00 hrs.
So if it is a lovely, relaxing beach holiday your looking for then Stones Throw Cottage is the place to be.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Lymperi

Host profile image
This is a photo of Maria and David, owner's of Stone's Throw Cottage and Studio. They live in Australia with their delightful daughters, Maria is Greek and has a strong association with these properties as you will read below.....

Why they chose this property

These are houses that my Father built, literally!
Leonidas Lymberis farmer, self taught builder and accidental tourist host extrordinaire! Alongside my Mum Fotini, his beloved wife of 60 years and partner in crime.
I know you will find it hard to imagine but this land not so long ago was farmland. Grandfather got this land as he didn't have the money to buy better, further away from the beach. Poor quality soil, salty air, all made for poor quality crops. Talk about how things change!!
First house to be built was a tiny house at the top of the hill to provide shelter from rain and hot sun during Summer.
Next was a kitchenette and toilet.
Hey, why don't we move here for Summer instead of commuting daily from a village a few kilometers away? Our rudimentary Beach House was born! Early June we moved to Zaga Beach for the season. In the mid 70's the first ever foreigners arrived for me to meet.
A German couple turned up and asked to camp on our property. Of course! The extended family immediately adopted them, "No we do insist that you eat with us!"
Next thing an Italian family appeared down the goat track, probably lost, and an unexpected request in broken English was brought onto the table as well as greek coffee and grapes, "would you be interested in renting this house to us next Summer? Done deal! Act now, think later!
Where would we stay next Summer? My Father had a whole Winter to think it through!
Maybe it's time to build a new house!
This house has been a constant companion for all my life, childhood bliss, teenage years angst, summer flings, sould searching and hours of quiet contemplation has been played out with these houses as the background scenery.
Take a deep breath in, feel the hot sand on your feet, dive into the cool water. Go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves and let this place weave its magic on you.
Welcome to my slice of paradise!

What makes this property unique

The biggest benefit has to be its location, just a few metres from the beautiful Zaga beach and the nearby restaurants and windsurfing school.
Also the surrounding gardens, what a place to sit for outdoor dining!
The cottage itself is light and airy and benefits from the sea breezes, very welcome in the hot Summer months
