The Kyparissia area has all year interest and mild weather. In July and August village fiestas are held with much feasting and Greek dancing. September's golden light, fruit harvests and warm seas are perfect. Late autumn sees the start of the olive harvest and the annual bird migrations South. January is perfect for skiing and snowboarding at the Mainalo Ski Resort (1.30 hours drive) as well as walks along deserted beaches. Spring brings meadows of wild flowers, Easter celebrations and the return of the nesting sea turtles.
There are country paths around the villa rambling across olive groves, to villages, the local chapel and sheep and pig farms.
I am available to meet and greet guests or can provide self check in inc a video of the route. Shopping is possible for guests who arrive at very early/late hours. I am here to help at all times if guests require assistance, information or translating.
