Visitors welcome by appointment. We moved to Agia Sofia from Australia in 2013 and have built a beautiful stone house in the historical Byzantine style of the area, among the olive groves on the terraces above Kardamyli. Just below the house we are soon building a small holiday house which will be available for long term or holiday rentals. The COVID19 lockdown has delayed our building plans this
year but we will be able to start again in the near future and the holiday house should be completed by summer 2022. It is self contained with full kitchen, open plan living area and outdoor terraces. It sleeps 2-4 for a wonderful walking holiday through the cypress clad gorges or a relaxing break enjoying the panoramic view of the bay of Messina. The beach is only 3 km away and the villages of Kardamyli and Stoupa have many cafes, restaurants and quaint shops. If you are an artist or writer looking for an inspiring haven where you can concentrate on your creative work then look no further. We are both artists who enjoy the peace and tranquillity of nature. The nearest village, Agia Sofia, has only 28 residents and the house is surrounded by a bird reserve and olive groves with a view that takes your breath away. We have a plan to host sculpture and painting workshops in the future. Our adventures in Greece have brought us the joy of rescuing three donkeys and a dog. We have welcomed a baby donkey to the herd earlier this year and have another one on the way. We have very productive chickens as well. Who knows, donkey treks might be possible in the future. At the moment we can offer a volunteer experience through HelpX. If you are interested in coming to help us with the work on our property in exchange for accomodation, breakfast and dinner, then please contact us through the HelpX site.

With the afternoons and weekends free time you can explore everything that the area has to offer - swimming, hiking, cafes and restaurants etc. or just lie in a hammock and relax.
