This set of apartments in Marathopolis Greece is the ideal setting if you wish to explore the authentic greek countryside. Situated on the southwest Peloponnese, Marathopolis is a charming village in the prefecture of Messinia with several worth-visiting attractions at a very close distance. Whether you are a fan of traditional taverns or fancy restaurants, archaeological sites or golden beaches, spas or windsurfing, this virgin corner of Greece has it all.
Esperides consist of 5 identical & spacious appartments which can host 4-5 guests each. Whether you are a family, a couple or a group of friends (in my case) it feels like a second home. The owners are very friendly and helpful (they gave us useful tips and maps for the area), the rooms are clean and full of character, the prices are low (even in high season) and the scenery is breathtaking. Just imagine relaxing in a hammock with nothing but the sea breeze and the sunset during a greek summer afternoon and you will have but a small glimpse of what Esperides have to offer.
Tips:
1) You can cook in-house (ask the owners for recipes and places to find local produce)
2) You can swim at the beach or the pool bar nearby in summer.
3) Before going anywhere, just ask the owners for information. They may even arrange a boat trip to the island of Proti (as they did for us) which proved to be a "wild" summer experience not worth missing.
All in all, I highly recommend Esperides and I am definitely re-visiting this year!!!
