Are you seeking a vacation in the countryside with the sea at your feet?
This idylic retreat, nestled within century-old eucalyptus, pine, and cypress trees, is built on top of the cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea on the west coast of the Peloponnese and offers direct access to the beach below.
In this YouTube video, you can see the beach in all its panoramic beauty filmed by a drone with Austrian saxophone player Robert Eberhardt playing on top of the big rock in the middle.

Our house is on the right side of the beach, hidden by the tall trees.
The 4-bedroom, 4-bath retreat sleeps up to 7 guests and can accommodate families or small groups.
Make your breakfast in the balcony upstairs and have your coffee watching the morning sea; go swimming any time you want; indulge in the comforts of a fully equipped kitchen; or enjoy local specialties in the evenings at the restaurants on the feet of the Venetian castle in upper town Kyparissia.
Located at 1 km from Kyparissia, the house serves as a peaceful retreat while keeping you close to local amenities. And a hub for daily excursions to nearby postcard beaches; the archeological sites of Olympia or the palace of Homeric King Nestor in Pylos; the Venetian castle of Methone; cayaking, hiking, and much more. You can also join the locals in the numerous village summer festivals.
The region is accessible by a modern and picturesque highway that traverses the Peloponnese NE to SW, through Arcadia. Or by Ryanair flights to the airport of Kalamata (60 km away) from London, Milan, and Vienna. You can rent a car to move around.
My parents have been exchanging the house since I was a student with people from all over the world, and they have created a big guest book. We are still in contact with their guests and their children.
Our summer house is regularly available from May to October 15, when the sea is still warm. A Cambridge professor, however, stayed here for a whole sabbatical year (chopping wood in the morning—no, you will not have to do that in the summer; you can go though to cut figs) and wrote an economics book! Maybe we overdid it with the description, but everything is true; read the comments our guests left last year!

Selected reviews from last year
We spent 5 days immersed in nature: the sound of the sea accompanied us day and night, and the beach is beautiful and not crowded. The children played a lot in the garden and with the cats. Sotiris, always available when we needed something, gave us many suggestions for nearby beaches, all beautiful.

House ideally located by the sea with a very beautiful beach below. The house is rustic because it is old, but it allows you to discover the entire western part of the Peloponnese, including the sites of Olympia and Messini, which are really extraordinary. Sotiris is very kind and was able to welcome us warmly.
