Einfamilienhaus Γύθειο, Skoutari, Githeio

Traditional Tower of Mani with Sea View – Skoutari, Gytheio In the heart of historical Mani, in the idyllic corner of Skoutari, Gytheio, stands this enchanting masterpiece of traditional architecture – a stone tower that breathes history and emotion. Built with the authentic, hewn stone of Mani, this imposing tower, covering 294 sqm, has the power to transport the visitor to an era where every stone had a soul, and every corner hid a story. Following the downhill, cobblestone path that exudes antiquity, passing between the abundant prickly pears, the stone gate opens the way to a world where time has stopped. In the paved courtyard, embraced by blooming lemon trees, the stone steps lead us to the first floor, where the reception area and the central living room with the high ceiling reveal the authentic atmosphere of an era that has passed but comes alive again through the careful renovation of 2022. Here, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a wooden staircase that leads to a second floor, transformed into an additional bedroom, always maintaining the spirit of the past. From the second floor, another staircase leads to the “terrace” or “battlement” – the highest point of the tower, where the panoramic view of the vast blue of the sea creates a sense of boundless serenity and evokes the feeling of the eternal history of the place. The authentic kitchen, following the old construction standards with a marble sink and a built-in refrigerator in a wooden cabinet, is accompanied by the noble dining area and an additional living room, creating a warm and welcoming space where the past meets the present. The thick stone walls, constructed from local hewn stone, offer natural insulation and protection, reminiscent of the era when these tower houses were designed to defend the family and tradition from the endless turmoils of time. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood, offering absolute tranquility and seclusion, while at the same time being just 10 minutes on foot from the beach of Skoutari – a place that combines the crystal-clear waters with the authentic beauty of traditional fish taverns. It is also 20 minutes by car from Gytheio, the nearest town and administrative center of the area, 143 km from Kalamata International Airport, and 293 km from Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos. This traditional tower is not just a house – it is a living witness of history, a testament to the long-standing tradition of Mani, inviting the next guardian of the soul and heritage of the place.
