Summertime highlights the importance of having a holiday house, a privilege whose value is continuously increasing as a result of modern city living and the growing need for serenity, relaxation, as well as direct contact with nature. This applies for families as well as younger people.
For Athens residents, close proximity to the city has always been a key factor when deciding to buy a holiday home, for swift access, back and forth. Just a two-hour boat trip from Athens, Andros is a grand choice among the Cyclades islands. Contrary to its neighboring islands, this northernmost island of the archipelago is covered in greenery, filled with vineyards, oak and olive trees, as well as running waters. These features create a noticeably different locale on Andros compared to the typically barren land of its neighboring islands. Andros’ lush setting inspired esteemed Greek surrealist poet Andreas Embirikos to describe the island as the “Queen of the Aegean”.
Elsewhere, on the mainland, the Corinthia region, west of Athens, is a popular holiday-home choice as it combines beaches and an elegant inland area, also making it a destination for wintertime excursions. Velo, situated 17 km west of Corinth, the Corinthia region’s capital, is a small town strategically located between the sea and inland, 30 metres above sea level and also close to the shoreline of the Gulf of Corinth. Velo is a quiet spot of 3,000 residents. Its local economy is based on farming and livestock farming. The country’s KTEL bus service offers links to Corinth, Kiato as well as Athens.
