Villa Hariklo
near Afissos, Pelion Peninsula
As you travel into Afissos, past the small fishing harbour and into the village with its long seafront, you arrive at a shaded square and church at the heart of this beautiful place. It is here you will come to sample some of the best local cuisine in the dozen or so restaurants that line the seafront. There are also unspoilt cafés, a traditional bakery and mini-markets for your daily requirements. Afissos is renowned for the absolute clarity of its sea and beautiful beaches. Mythology tells us that it is here that Jason and his Argonauts stopped for fresh water before setting sail on their epic travels to find the Golden Fleece. The village is proud of its legendary reputation, celebrating throughout the summer with the ‘Argonauticos’ shows and festivities.
The villa is named after the sea nymph Hariklo who, according to Greek mythology, was fathered by Cronus when he had the body of a horse. Just as Hariklo herself would have done, this attractive two bedroom bungalow gazes out across the azure sea. The beautiful patio enters into the open plan living room. The fully equipped kitchen has been designed to take the chore out of holiday catering. Hariklo has superb outdoor living features and terrific panoramic views toward the Pagasitic Gulf. This is truly an ideal place for one to relax purely enjoying the outstanding natural beauty this enchanting region offers. Villa Hariklo is built in the traditional Pelion style with white-washed walls and slate roofs. Set in a verdant olive grove it evokes peace and tranquillity which cannot fail to appeal.
Two pebble beaches - Lagoudi and Abovos - as well as the blue flag beach of Kalifteri, a sand and shingle beach, are just three hundred metres away. They offer a good range of watersports (in high season) and superb coastal walks.
This is beyond doubt the holiday home of the Greek Gods and if the Gods didn’t want to leave this haven we doubt you will either.
