DISTANCE FROM BEACHES :
The nearest one is the Katakolo beach ,at 250m distance from the residence. Clean sand, without rocks, shallow waters at the beginning, then deeper . Along the beach there are some authentic fish taverns with very fresh and well-cooked local fish.
Kavouri beach is located in the bay of Katakolo and is about 5 km from Pyrgos. The swimming coast is the coastal part of the open Kyparissia bay , 68 km long. The length of the beach is 14,300 m., the average width is 25 m. and it faces the south. Both the coastal zone and the seabed are sandy. The coastal zone is partially modified, due to the existence of permanent buildings near the coast. Still, the western end of the coast is bounded by a jetty. The swimming waters in the first meters are shallow and the slope of the bottom is gentle. Then, at a distance of 140 m from the coast the depth of the sea approaches 5 m).
Another beautiful sandy beach is Skafidia in a landscape with more vegetation, situated North West of the Villa at a distance of 3.5 km. Driving time 6 min from the villa. Many say that it is one of the most beautiful beaches in Peloponnese and those who have visited it, do reinforce this claim!
Also the beach of Agios Andreas near Katakolo, at 2.7km distance from the villa (3 minutes driving) offers a more exotic landscape as it combines rocks with sand and beautiful view. By the beach, Beauvoir, the restaurant/bar with gourmet food is located, with wonderful music and a scenic unique sunset .
One additional choice is the excellent beach of Leventochori at 2.2 km distance from the ville (3 minutes drive). As the green hills of the Ilia land enter into the sea, they form picturesque coves covered with dark sand. The road between the orchards and crops will lead you to the long beach of Leventohori.
Finally, as a completely private option, we would recommend the beach of the Merkouri Estate, which, in addition to its famous winery and museum, span in an area of 200 acres that, through an enchanting landscape with rare olive and pine trees, peacocks, etc., ends at a private beach, which upon arrangement could be used by the visitors of the villa.
