LOCATION
Epidavros
is a beautiful farming and fishing village on the Saronic Gulf.
It is surrounded by majestic mountains full of pine trees on the one side
and
the sea on the other. The views are spectacular!
The village lies in orange
and olive groves and when the blossom of the oranges is out, the scent is
fantastic.
Epidavros
sank in the sea but the remains can still be seen when snorkelling. Epidavros
has a beautiful natural harbour and a small ancient theatre where in the
summer many cultural events take place. In particular the Music Festival
in July. This archaeological site seats approx. 6000 people. The large and
very famous theatre lies approx. 5 miles away; seats about 18000 and many
plays are performed by the best Greek and foreign theatre groups in the summer
months.
Epidavros, with its natural beauty, mild climate, beaches, sea sports,
walking and hiking facilities forms a perfect holiday resort. It has not
yet been discovered by the tourists at large. Ancient Epidavros is accessible
by
sea from Piraeus and train from Athens to Argos or Naphlio.
This
Villa is
a luxury villa and is located in the more sought after area of Ancient Epidavros
called “GIALASSI”.
Gialassi is situated amidst olive and orange groves and is 2 km from the
village centre. The village
itself is not far from the islands of Aegina, Poros, Spetses, etc. and is
approx. 120 km from Athens. The Villa was built in 2001. The land on which
Villa Aura stands was cut out from the mountain to create a flat site for
the large infinity swimming pool. The garden is mainly laid to lawn.
The
views over the Saronic gulf are spectacular and the islands of Agistri and
Aegina as well as Methina can clearly be seen. On a good day it is possible
to see Piraeus and Athens. The Villa stands in approx 4000 square meters
of land, has many trees and other plants, olive groves and an uninterrupted
view over the sea.
