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.
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.
Vaulted colonnades provide shade for al fresco dining and sitting or reading with further seating on the terrace, some under the shade of pergolas, and all with wonderful views. A little path leads down to Kalamitsiou beach, a beautiful pebble beach with excellent swimming and snorkelling.
Kardamyli is renowned for its delightful array of shops, cosy cafes, and traditional tavernas, providing visitors with an authentic taste of local culture and cuisine. Each October, the village becomes a hub of literary activity during the Kardamyli Literary Festival, attracting writers and enthusiasts from around the region. Additionally, the property is perfectly positioned for beach lovers, with stunning beaches such as Foneas (a five-minute drive), Ritsa (seven minutes), and Delfinia (twelve minutes) all nearby, offering excellent opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, and relaxation. This prime location ensures guests can effortlessly explore the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty that make this area unique.
