Standing within a fragrant Mediterranean garden that rolls down to the sea and beautiful beach, it has been called one of the most beautiful properties in Greece.

The intrepid traveller and renowned writer Patrick Leigh Fermor fell in love with the Manis's rugged beauty and, with his wife Joan, built a house there, just outside Kardamyli village. The Leigh Fermors bequeathed their home to the Benaki Museum as a creative space for artists but with the right to offer it as a rental for specific periods of the year. It is a very special part of our portfolio, particularly appealing to those who love history, beauty and culture.

INTERIOR

The whole property is exquisitely furnished in keeping with its elegant character and heritage.

Of particular interest to book lovers are Patrick's, two well-stocked libraries. This home has been meticulously conserved and consists of a main house with three double en-suite bedrooms, a traditional house with one double bedroom, a study with Patrick's writing desk in situ, and a further double en-suite in the self-contained guest house.
