Driopi is a small village overlooking the blue waters of the Saronic gulf and lying between the family holiday resort of Epidavros and Galatas. Epidavros is the centre of a fertile agricultural region, as well as being an area steeped in history, drama and culture. The backcloth to this beautiful setting is provided the majestic mountains of the central Peloponese, ideal for walkers, hikers and mountain bikers, as well as for those who want a less energetic lifestyle near to the coast.

Driopi is a 2 hours drive from Athens and there are also local bus services and a ferry service from the island of Poros to Piraeus.

This traditional stone house, providing accommodation of 100 sq.m., is set in a plot of 550 sq.m. and was built some 70 years ago. It has been sympathetically restored and renovated by the present owners, the work having been completed in 2009. The renovations included re-wiring and a new roof, whilst externally stone walls, terracing and a patio were built to add to the attractiveness of the gardens. In order to take full advantage of the excellent sea and mountain views, the living accommodation is on the first floor, whilst the sleeping accommodation is at ground floor level..

The house is within the village planning limits and the size of the plot allows for additional construction of up to a further 300 sq.m.

The accommodation comprises;
