House 2 bedrooms
For Sale
Agkistri
Greece

Property Code: 11161
This historic, two storey house is one of the oldest in the village of Megalochori. It stands out, not
only in height and elegance but for the beautiful restoration which has remained completely faithful
to the original features and structure of the property.
The restoration and modernization has only recently been completed. The house now has 2 double
bedrooms on the ground floor, both with air conditioning and heating, a brand new bathroom with
hydro-massage shower, and a new fitted kitchen. Modern appliances blend in with hand-crafted
elements.
There is a dining area downstairs; here a newly constructed wooden staircase leads up to a
beautifully proportioned sitting room. This room can also be reached by climbing the stone
staircase at the front of the house. There are balconies leading off each side of this room. A small
wooden balcony, a fair-sized south-facing veranda with views of the pine forested hills, and a large
terrace with views looking toward the sea and the Peloponnesian mainland. This terrace has a
pergola in the traditional style and outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. A metal staircase leads
down off the back of the terrace to the narrow, walled courtyard; where established trees such as
Hibiscus, Jasmine and Lemon grow.
This courtyard can be accessed from one of the bedrooms and there is also a garden entrance to
the property. A compact utility room with toilet can be found in this courtyard area. The house is a
pleasingly unexpected mixture of charming original features blended with modern practical
comforts. Original artefacts and antiques have been given a refreshing new lease on life. Despite
the centrality of the location, the house really is within (2-10 minutes) walk of everything.
(Restaurants, cafes, 2 well stocked mini-markets, bakery, bike rental, a beach, the port, walking
trails). It is incredibly peaceful being situated within the tiny walking paths of the old village away
from the road.
Agistri is a tiny, green gem of an island (5km long), undiscovered by mass tourism it offers an
authentic Greek island experience at the same time as being accessible to major sites such as the
Acropolis and the theatre of Epidavros. There are also organised trips to neighbouring islands or
you can take a quick 10 min boat ride to the larger island of Aegina opposite.
Agistri itself has much to offer; sandy beaches, rocky coves, snorkeling and swimming in
spectacularly crystal blue waters, hidden swim-holes and even a shipwreck with scuba diving trips
for all levels. The pine forests completely cover the island and are carpeted with flowers in spring
and autumn; during hot summers they offer cool shade for the biking/hiking trails. Skala and
Megalochori are both ports on the east coast, 1.5km apart. The former for the Car ferries, the latter
for the (faster foot passenger) Flying Dolphins (Piraeus- Agistri takes 55minutes).
There is only one road which connects the 3 villages on the island as well as one which follows the
beach between Skala and Megalochori - a very pleasant walk or bike-ride if you fancy an evening of
buzzing cafes and bars, more choices of restaurants and souvenir shops. Scooter or bicycle
rentals are cheap and a great way to explore the island. There is also a local bus and taxis for
getting around.
