Nea Tirintha · 整套民居 · 3室4床1.0卫 · 可住6人 · Herakles House Nafplio | Home with fenced garden
Hellowee! You're walking into what was once just a dream of mine. I've always loved Nafplion and thought it's one of the most beautiful places to be. One day, I took a leap forward and bought this house. Many months after... Planning, upgrading, renovating... I am still looking at it and congratulate myself for the decision. As I am living somewhere else in Greece, I am going to try out Airbnb in the hope that my home will make people at least as happy as it makes me every time I am there. The house is very spacious. 140 sqm. 3 bedrooms with large wardrobe space, 1 bathroom with shower, living room, dining area + kitchen & desk area for working remotely. An extra single fold-up bed is available to accommodate a 7th person without charge. A baby cot is available free of charge. WiFi, 2 powerful and new air conditioning units, gas heating with radiators in all rooms, log burner in the living room (jackie), shutters for all windows, mosquito nets (coming soon). Washing machine, iron & ironing board, gas cooker with oven, microwave. A large and very nicely equipped kitchen (everything is new, as the kitchen was rebuilt from scratch in 2023). Outdoor gas bbq (we call it "the beast"). The terrace is almost as big as the house... And the best thing about it is the roof because you can linger in the shade during hot days and in the shelter even on rainy days (which we don't get many). You can also get your laptop there and work in open air with a garden view (if you really have to). The plot is fully fenced. I share my life with 2 little furry friends + a not as furry husband. I wouldn't want them to escape when we come in Nafplion, but they are free to roam around as much as they want to :) I am not living there, just visiting from time to time, so the guests are enjoying the full property for themselves. The plot is almost 1.000 sqm and about half of it is an olive grove with 22 olive trees. We are still hoping we will learn how to care for the olive trees so that we can make some olive oil of our own. 2 orange trees, 1 lemon tree and a walnut that give us fruit. The walnut is especially handy, as it creates shade for the picnic area.
This wonderful house is as described and more. It's incredibly well provisioned and clearly a lot of thought has gone into making your stay a "home away from home". I came with my dog who was right at home in the large fenced garden and inside is just as spacious. As well as the dining table and 3 further outside sitting areas, there is a dedicated desk if you need to WFH, which I was. The bathroom is large and everything was spotlessly clean. You will want for nothing in the kitchen and the hosts respond very quickly to any questions you may have. It's on the edge of the village but walking distance to the 2 grocery stores, a couple of cafes and the bakery - I found all the villagers to be extremely friendly. Lastly, the bed in the master bedroom - fabulously comfortable :-) My stay was cut short by unforeseen circumstances but I hope to return...
Wunderschönes Haus mit allem und mehr, was man im Urlaub so braucht. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und wir haben uns hier rundum wohl gefühlt. Auch bis nach Nafplio ist es nicht weit. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
The house is in a quiet village, on the last street, so there is very little traffic (only a few locals, coming and going). Our closest neighbours are 3 orange groves and a few surrounding houses separated by the local street.
Nea Tiryntha is the name of the village and it starts where the Ancient Tirynth site ends. You're just a couple of minutes drive away from the first ancient site. Inhabited from the Bronze Age and completed in its final form in 13th century BC, Tirynth is mentioned in Homer's writings as being built by the mythical Cyclops. Just wait and see how massive the stone walls are.
The center of the village (1 minute drive or 5 minutes walk) offers the typical Greek kafenion, a grill taverna, a bakery, a pharmacy and 2 mini markets.
For buying the most delicious and fresh produce visit the street market in Nafplion (10 min drive). It has numerous vendors with a large variety of local products. It happens twice per week (Wednesdays & Saturdays). From early morning until noon.
The fishermen are selling their daily catch at Nea Kios port (10 min drive). If you go there around 9-10 in the morning you will find a few old fisherman selling what got caught in their nets during the night.
When I saw the location of the house I immediately knew it is the right place for us. I believe it is very conveniently located in between everything that matters in the area: Nafplio, all the ancient sites around, and the beaches.
All the following times are driving times.
The chic town of Nafplio is 6 km away (10 min). Palamidi Fortress & Bourtzi Castle in Nafplio are the closest sites to home, after Tirynth.
Other ancient sites that people are interested in the area are: Epidavros Ancient Theatre and magnificent historic site (25 min), the Archaeological site of Mycenae (20 min), Ancient Nemea (30 min), Ancient Corinth (40 min).
Beach-goers, this is for you (all these beaches are mostly sandy):
- Paralia Arvanitias Nafplion (13 min)
- A long strip of narrow beach North East of Nafplion (10 min)
- Paralia Karathonas (15 min) - free unlimited parking spaces, organised beach with beach bars & water sports and a children inflatable water fun area
- Tolo Beach (13 min) - narrow and long beach, with lots of beach bars and places to eat (the most touristic beach around)
- Paralia Plaka (15 min) - with several beach bars - try Aloha Beach Bar it has a nice atmosphere and design
- Vivari Beach (17 min) - enclosed gulf beach area with a few fish & sea food tavernas (worth a visit daytime for the beach and even in the evening for dinner)
- Kondyli Beach (23 min) - large beach, protected gulf, lots of free parking space, 3 beach bars & a tiny selection of water sports
