Local Information,... continued

An extensive personal research for the perfect traditional Greek island retirement location with a picturesque and tranquil environment, had identified the village of Galatas, on the mesmerizing north-eastern Peloponnesian Argosaronic coast of mainland Greece, as our favourite,...EUREKA !
... Not only is there an abundance of traditional Greek family hospitality in Katerina, "the smile of Greece with the sparkling eyes", sea-wolves Christos, Giorgos & Liakos, "twinkle toes" Spiros (Zorbas) and Howard (our man on Poros), but also a most agreeable climate.
... The scenery is of immense natural beauty with an unspoilt coastline of remote beaches for family swimming, scuba-diving and water sports, green hillsides ideal for walking, trekking and cycling, bird-watching (of the feathered kind) at Kalloni's wildlife reserve... and for relaxing those aches & pains a visit to the volcanic sulphur thermal health spas at Methana is recommended.
... But without a doubt, the jewel in the crown of Galatas must be the magnificent and exquisite view across the bay,... of pine-scented, romantic and traditional Poros Island.
... By day, it is the majestic private yachts, also flotillas of yachts with sailors from around the world; ferry-boats, hydrofoils, catamarans, fishermen unloading their catch and mending their nets and the islets dotted in the clear blue sea that generate a magical aquatic phenomenon; and by night, with romance in the air, it is the reflection of the taverna and promenade lights flickering in the harbour that enchant you with an unforgetable, exquisite and perfect living picture;... a sight for sore eyes, indeed !!!
... With a 700m altitude, the Aderes mountain range behind Galatas village, provides protection from the south-western winds, whilst the local community enjoys an enviable island environment, with all the amenities and utilities associated with the mainland, ie, dependable, regular sea & road transport; nursery, primary, secondary (also private) education, sport & athletics; medical healthcare, civic & legal services; low cost comprehensive shopping and trade services, yacht repairs with dry dock and boat storage facilities, etc.
... Easily accessible by road and sea are Piraeus port, Athens and the EV International Airport (with daily, direct UK, European, Russian and global flights), the Parthenon at Acropolis, the Greek National Archaeological Museum, National Gallery, Ethnological and Theatre Museums, major national and cultural events, vibrant nightlife entertainment, Premier League Football, European Champions Basketball and Volleyball.
... Island cruising to Hydra and Spetses or perhaps an archaelogical pilgrimage to ancient historical monuments & temples such as Olympia, Epidaurus, Mycenae and Corinth on a day excursion, including medieval castles at Nafplio, Korintho and Monemvasia; the grotto of aquatic extravaganza in the underground lake of Diros Caves, with stalactites, stalagmites & natural bizarre sculptures of uncanny human and animal resemblance; Byzantine and Ecclesiastical shrines such as Mystras, Kalavrita and Ayia Lavra Monastery;... the Peloponnese region is indeed immersed in history.

... Located amphitheatrically in the sanctuary of the hills behind the village of Galatas and also along the coast, with uninterrupted spectacular sea, island and mountain views, building-land sites and properties are available for sale through our office, directly from their original owners.
... The popularity of the area, both with the International community and as an Athenian playground, undoubtedly contributes to the escalation of prices.
... Prices are correct upon receipt of instructions and currently they start from a modest €30,000 (depending on size, location & distance from the coast) in our portfolio of ever-changing properties.
