The 300 degree view of the islands and Marahon bay will entice you to spend many an hour on the wide tiled private verandas. On a clear day one can see as far as Andros, Kea, Evia and several uninhabited islands.

A large living room/dining room designed in a Greek classical style yet modern and very comfortable with an open concept kitchen, can easily accommodate 10 people.
The living room is painted light yellow with blue "stucco venetsiano" columns and hidden lighting. The flooring is made of light blue tiles with marble stairs and marble fireplace. It has air conditioning in addition to a ceiling fan.
Through the large four windows a breathtaking view is lying at your feet! The sunrise over the island of Evia is an unforgettable experience.

A well-equipped kitchen with a pass through marble bar to the dining room is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the same view as the living room. A ceramic cook top and convection over, coupled with a microwave oven and a gas powered BBQ at the back of the villa will meet most if not all of the requirements for a chef if cooking at home is your choice. Dishwasher, top of the line refrigerator, washer and drier, add to your comfort away from home.

The dining room is simply furnished with a 50s retro dining room table and chairs.

There are two large bedrooms and two baths in the apartment, and an additional bedroom with its own en-suite bath on the second floor of the villa, communicating wiht the rest of the appartment via the outside stairs.

The lower south facing bedroom has a good size loft and an en-suite bathroom. It can accommodate two-four guests. It is well designed for a family or friends. The en-suite bathroom renders this bedroom an independent suite. The bathroom is beautifully tiled with custom design and has a shower. The loft accommodates two single beds, has its own window and overlooks the bedroom downstairs. It communicates with the downstairs with a spiral wooden staircase. The downstairs can easily be used as a sitting room. The bedroom opens to the primary veranda. The couch can be assembled as two single beds with a dividing side table, a queen size bed or a single bed and a chair divided by a side table. It has its own built-in closet. This bedroom is separated from the rest of the apartment by 6 steps to the living room.

The second bedroom on the other side of the kitchen has a queen size bedroom suite and a large built in closet. The bedroom window opens to a breathtaking view of the Aegean. The master bathroom has a full size bathtub/shower combination and is beautifully tiled with custom designs.

The third bedroom is on the second floor. It has two single beds. It has its own en-suite bathroom and veranda and private entrance from the outside. It is the most private and "peaceful" bedroom suite of the house!

The veranda off the living room and bedroom is 55 sq m with astounding views of the coast. If you are an early riser you can enjoy some of the most spectacular sun rises in your life. If sleeping until mid day is more to your liking, then you can enjoy the sunsets and night views of the coast. In the evening, thousands of small lights bordering the land in front of you complemented by the beautiful sky lit by thousands of stars will forever stay in your memory. The full moon nights are unforgettable. Just ask our other guests!

THE AEGEAN SEA: Only a short distance down the hill side on a short 3 minute drive by car you can enjoy delightful swims, snorkeling, or diving off the rocky coast in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea. Diving off the rocks is fun and popular. The fish and other marine life are delightful to watch while snorkeling. The rocky coastline abounds with secluded spots perfect for sunbathing in privacy.

SCHINIAS BEACH: perhaps one of the best beaches in the world for small children and adults with poor swimming skills located only 3 minutes away by car. The water is crystal clear and shallow. Small children and toddlers can wade approximately one hundred meters out to sea and still be in water that is not over their heads. Adults must wade about 300 meters out to reach chest deep water. The beach is protected and rarely has waves of any size. It does not have any currents or tides to endanger children. Unlike most beaches in Greece, Schinias Beach is a sand beach with a pine forest growing down to the water?s edge. It is perfect for picnics. Needless to say, it is very popular with Greek parents.

ENVIRONMENTAL PARK: Schinias offers a unique retreat in one of the most splendid and environmentally protected locations of Attica, a breath away from the historic site of Marathon. The inland Schinias plain is mostly wetlands and a stop over for migratory fowl during the winter. Thanks to the Olympic Games of 2004 the Greek government stopped the drainage of the wetlands and they are reverting to their natural state. The wetlands border on the Marathon plain, the site of the Battle of Marathon. The western part of Schinias is a large crescent beach of fine sand, a National Park beach with an umbrella pine forest providing shade down to the water's edge. Many water related resorts and taverns are located within the forest providing tasty foods, refreshing drinks, and a variety of water sports. This environment is perfect for families and people in general who want to relax and socialize.

NIGHTLIFE: Privacy and nature beauty is what our community offers. Nightlife is only a few minutes away, a short ride to the nearest town of Nea Makri. Go out to eat, dance and mil around at the square, go shopping, watch the people, and then come home away from it all.

On the beach of Schinias, there are wonderful sports facilities which are rated the best in the Attiki area. You can spend the day there, swimming, jet skiing, sailing, playing voley ball, having lunch, dinner, enjoy the music and the relaxed atmosphere. It is great for families, young and old alike.

EXCURSIONS: You want to go see the islands for a day or two, or just a few hours, you have several opportunities to do so. The port of Rafina is 30 minutes away. You can visit several islands you like frorm there. A day trip will take you to Andros, Tinos, Mikonos and Karystos. Just down the hill from us within 10 minutes you can take the ferry across to Evia, take a ride, and be back for dinner.

If you want to go into Athens, you can leave your car at the station, and take the beautiful, clean air-conditioned bus into Athens and leave the driving to the Greeks. Within 30 minutes you will be at the metro station down town from where you can go anywhere you please.

The national highway is within 30 minutes form the villa. If driving and exploring the mainland is to your liking, it is quick and easy. Corinth is 1.5 hours away, Delphi 2.5 hours, Mycenae is 2 hours and many other fabulous spots waiting for your discovery.
