In the Peloponnese, cradle of the original Olympic Games, Dafne offers a prize that doesn’t require a javelin or a marathon: a delightful home-from-home with stunning views, perfect for exploring this beautiful corner of Greece.

Set on a hillside among centuries-old olive trees, this single-storey villa looks out across one of the last truly wild regions of Europe, with open views stretching over the Messinian landscape and out to sea.

The villa is arranged on one level, with a step up to the kitchen area and also the hallway leading to the bedrooms. Inside, the open-plan living and dining area is bright and uncluttered, with high wooden beams, traditional tiled floors and soothing, neutral tones. Air conditioning throughout keeps everything comfortably cool. Two bedrooms, one double and one twin, share a contemporary shower room, ideal for couples, friends or a small family.

Outside, the private pool takes centre stage. It may not be Olympic-sized, but it’s perfect for cooling off, floating lazily or practising your gold medal-winning backstroke, before claiming your sun lounger as a podium. A covered terrace and built-in barbecue set the scene for long lunches and relaxed evenings.

Agios Nikolaos is just five minutes away by car, a small fishing village with a pretty harbour and tavernas serving freshly caught seafood. Pantazi Beach lies 1.5km away, while the livelier resort of Stoupa is within easy reach.

In Ancient Olympia, champions were crowned with an olive wreath. At Dafne, the rewards are just as appealing: local Kalamata olives, a chilled glass of something Greek, sea views and the quiet satisfaction of having won the contest of choosing exactly the right villa for your summer holiday. Yamas!

Please note: The twin beds can be placed together and prepared as a double on request – please ask at time of booking.
Being located next door to Levanda, means Dafne could be a good choice for an extended family or a group of friends who can be near to each other whilst retaining their own individual space and privacy.
Electric Car Charging available, payalbe locally at €0,40 euros per ΚWH, payable locally.

Great Things to Do Near Dafne

Enjoy lunch in the square at Kardamlyi

Within a short driving distance, the picturesque village of Kardamlyi is a lovely location to visit for a spot of lunch. Small but traditional, the shaded village square is ideal for enjoying sumptuous delights. Kardamlyi is also home to a small beach; just the place to take a refreshing dip before heading further on your adventures.

Spend the evening in Stoupa

Located just a ten-minute drive from the property, the village of Stoupa is the perfect spot to spend an evening. Enjoy traditional Greek cuisine from one of the many tavernas situated along the beachfront whilst enjoying views out to sea. As the sun sets, Stoupa is the quintessential spot to enjoy a cocktail (or two) whilst watching the sun go down on another relaxing day.

Visit the Diros Caves

Perhaps one of the most important natural sites in Greece, the Diros Caves are not to be missed. These underground waterways and lakes can be explored by boat with tours lasting around 25 minutes. Guides will inform you through the journey through the caverns and tunnels characterised by stalactites and stalagmites.

Have a beach day at picturesque Kalogria Beach.

Beautiful Kalogria Beach with its sandy shores is a great place to spend the day relaxing. Just off the coast of Kalogria, a round ripple of water can be found. From an underground freshwater spring that is fed from the mountains, this ripple makes the waters tend to be a little cooler than those found around the corner at Stoupa Beach. A small number of tavernas back the beach; perfect for a bite to eat at lunch.

Visit Agios Nikolaos

This charming fishing village characterised by traditional stone buildings is a lovely setting for spending lunch or dinner. A number of tavernas can be found lining the street overlooking the small harbour. Small boats can also be hired from the harbour along with fishing trips with locals being available too.

Discover Ancient Sparta

Although a small site, Ancient Sparta is well worth a visit. Take the Acropolis trail which is a loop trail and easily walkable to take in the key sites. The Archaeological Site of the Acropolis of Sparta features the remains of the ancient city including the Roman theatre which was one of the largest in ancient Greece.

Visit Mystras

An UNESCO World Heritage Site situated close to Sparta, the castle town of Mystras was the second most important town in ancient Greece. This archaeological site is home to well-preserved Byzantine churches, the remains of the Palace and the walls which used to surround the hillside.

Olive Oil Tasting

Visit one of the many olive vineyards to try a variety of different olive oils produced in the region. Free tours are offered at many on particular days of the week.

Dourakis' Tower

Located in the charming village of Kastania, this traditional tower house, known locally as Dourakis' Tower, is a reconstruction of a traditional Mani tower. Free of charge to enter, you are welcome to explore inside the tower and explore the surrounding medieval churches.
