The place

A private nature reserve with a private sea landing: two acres of thyme- and sage-scented nature, snorkelling from the front yard along rocky coves, sea caves nearby. The cottage is light, airy, open-plan and cosy, with French doors and a wraparound porch that make the line between indoors and out disappear. Picture windows overlook the bay.

It is the closest house to Marathonisi (Turtle Island), in the protected zone of the National Marine Park, with access to the rocky shores of Marathias and the waters of Laganas Bay. Two taverns are within walking distance, and the beach village of Keri Limni has boat rentals and diving centres for Marathonisi and the Keri sea caves.

What this place offers

Good to know

The bedroom is mostly glass with curtains, so it is not soundproof. The land is wild and rambling, with steps down to the sea landing. Next door, Camp Delilah (a small caravan for 1–2, an outdoor kitchen, a garden shower, hammocks and a stargazing bed) can be booked together with the cottage for larger groups. Ask for an offer on your dates.
