Only if you travel to this corner of Laconia and its amazing villages, will you realize the beauty and sweetness of this place. An amazing aura, a captivating landscape and a unique stone house dressed in art and tradition, is a combination that offers the ideal vacations. Forget about anything you had in mind and surrender to this trip to serenity. Lilian’s stone house is a part of the mountain. The living rock enters the house. Nature embraces this beautiful building while the house has the power to tame Nature. It is built in 3 levels with 3 verandas overlooking the whole village and the mountains. It can accommodate up to 5 guests in a double and 3 single beds in private rooms and it offers all facilities you may ask for. Apart from wifi. This is important for your tranquility. Just around the corner of picturesque Harakas village (which has only one tavern at its square), a breathtaking view to the Aegean Sea will nail you. It is the way to Kyparissi seaside village. A place of unrepeatable beauty, just 9 km away. Endless choices and places to explore, sites to visit, beaches to swim. Monemvasia Medieval citadel is just 20 km away and it is a place you definitely have to see. Lilian's house is the perfect orbital to do so!

Lilians house is a litlle jewel, recently re-decorated with a tasteful mix of authentic Greek and etnic elements, and located in a tradional, charming village. Although small, the house is practical and well equiped with a lot of sense for detail. We were warmly welcomed by Lilian. Having diner at Nikos' local taverna, we felt immedately welcomed by the whole village. The house is idealy located for day trips to Monemvassia, Elafonissos, the beautiful beach of Kyparissi. We defenitely recommend Lilians house!

My dear Gert and Family, thank you so much for your kind review and most of all for being so wonderul guests! I really hope to have the pleasure to welcome you again one day!
charming hideaway in the mountains not far from the beach
Great spot in the lonely mountains, people are very kind and helpful. You hear the bells of sheep and goats, great view from 3 terraces. Nice tavern very close, breathtaking road to the beach of Kyparissi, 9 km.
Parking no problem, a short walk on stairs to reach the house.
Inside everything tastefull and arranged with creativity and love. Thanks a lot Lilian for the wonderfull stay! We`ll come back! Hilde
Even though Lillian could not meet us in person the check in was simple and straight forward. The house is beautifully decorated and the village is ideally located between Kyparissi, Vlychadi Beach (a must!) and other sights like Monemvasia.
Thank you for your hospitality!

Lovely relaxing stay in a friendly small village
A great few days in a small village. The local people welcomed us and showed us around the area. The village is in the hills where dramatic scenery is around every corner. The little house overlooks the village and has two terraces one facing the morning sun and one the evening. The house is very well equipped and ideal for a couple or family but the access involves a fairly steep path and some steps. The beaches are approx 10 km away

Un endroit inoubliable!
Si vous aimez l'authenticité, le calme et vivre dans un bel espace décoré avec soin, cette endroit est pour vous. Nous avons passé huit jours dans cette maison de village avec trois terrasses aux vues magnifiques. C'est aussi un accueil chaleureux de la propriétaire et des habitants du village. Le coeur du village est une taverne ou il fait bon manger et vivre. Une voiture est indispensable pour rejoindre et sortir de ce lieu isolé. Une très bonne adresse.

About the host
Hosted by Lilian Yanniou
Hello dear friends. I am a private school owner who loves traveling and meeting people from around the world. I love my two houses in Laconia Peloponnese and I am sure you will love them too. I will share all the secrets of the area with you!
Why they chose this property
Harakas is a village of unique location and aura. It is ideal as a base for your exploration of the area of Laconia. Far from the touristic places and yet close to every beach, mountain and site you want to visit! The house has kept both the architecture and the decoration of the previous century. However it is fresh and full of light. You will adore the quiet of the afternoons in the village...
What makes this property unique
AMAZING THINGS TO DO AND SEE NEAR HARAKAS! Where to swim: The eastern coastline of the Municipality of Monemvasia is scattered with mostly pebbly beaches around Zarakas and Monemvasia, protected from southerly and southwesterly winds. In the north of the municipality are the beaches of Aghia Kyriaki, Megali Ammos and Drymiskos at Kyparissi, and Vlychada near Riechia. Close to Gerakas is Kochylas, near Aghios Ioannis are Kastraki and the busy Pori. Near Molai, Elia and Plytra beaches. The beach at Monemvasia’s new town is Kakkavos. Swimming is also possible off the rocks at Portelo in the shadow of the Lower Town walls. Further south are the beaches of Nomia: Ampelakia, Xifias and Aghios Fokas. KASTANIA CAVE One of the most impressive caves of Greece can be found near the village of Kastania on the southern tip of the Peloponnese, just minutes away from Neapoli. The route follows the winding mountain road leading to the forest-covered eastern slopes of Mt. Parnon. HIKING - HINOVOUNI ROUTES From the beautiful seaside village of Kyparissi, it is hard to imagine that hidden amongst the surrounding cliffs lies a large fir forest on a mountainside offering a number of lovely hikes. The entirety of Mt. Hionovouni comprises a Natura habitat and was once filled with human activities, as evidenced by the many huts and goatfolds and terraced fields, most of them now abandoned. A series of paths, based on the original network, provide an opportunity to enjoy these traces of human endeavour and to enjoy the wonderful landscape. The main route forms part of national hiking path 33 that crosses Hionovouni from the village of Kremasti to Lambokambo. Other routes branch off to villages in the foothills – the three settlements of Kyparissi and Harakas. All the paths can be combined as desired, beginning and ending at different points, depending on hikers’ interests and abilities. ROCK CLIMBING! Kyparissi Rock Climbing Area A wonderful area to explore!
