The Dove & the Olive Branch

Holiday Rental Description

Built from traditional stone, this kind of building is called ‘Peristerionas’ by the locals, a Greek word for the doves or pigeons who would have nested in the dovecote-style walls. Nest yourself in this home for a comfortable and cosy holiday surrounded by Cycladic nature, and catch the soft aromas of wild thyme, oregano and salty ocean air drifting to you in the breeze. Spend quiet days lounging by the pool with a good book before you take a dip in the cool waters of the pool or even unwind in the soothing bubbles of the jacuzzi.

Take full advantage of the three private verandas this home offers and breakfast, lunch and dinner with an amazing view of the ocean. Spend days beside the sea, treading the soft sands, which can be reached within ten to fifteen minutes by car. Or venture further out to Andros Port twenty-five kilometres away, from which you can admire the amazing Tourlitis Lighthouse.

In the evening, we would highly recommend dining in one of the tavernas in Korthi Bay, just nine kilometres away, to experience the delicious local and traditional cuisine on offer. Pamper yourself with the organic toiletries before settling in for a great night's sleep on the mattress which is designed to support seven zones of your body, and wake up refreshed the next morning for another blissful day of relaxation.
