Monthly Rentals in Agios Merkourios

The house was beautiful and spacious, and it was situated perfectly on top of the small village of Platana. It was very peaceful at night, no barking dogs or noise from the road even though it was only a few minutes walk from the restaurants. It's a 25-minute drive from the closest rock climbing crags. We felt very welcomed and Vaggelis provided us with delicious home-made olive oil, tsipouro and wine. You can pick fresh oranges and lemons from his garden. The internet was good and laundry was easy to do, so I can recommend this also for longer stays. The kitchen had good amenities and the decorations in the house were lovely. Vaggelis answered all questions we had and provided us with information about local services and restaurants. However, if you are travelling during the colder months, it can be a bit chilly. There's a heater that uses pellets in the living room and electric heaters in the bed rooms, so that didn't bother us. It is a great base for climbers going to Manikia.

The place is spacious, clean and with all comforts. Mapía is a very attentive and kind host. The location is great for both the sea, which is 10 minutes away, and for the cliffs if you come to Manikia to climb. In addition, thanks to its terrace, it allows you to enjoy a unique and relaxing peace in the middle of the greenery.

Platana is wonderfully located between the sea and mountains and this very private and charming accommodation is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. Great waterfront restaurants and great hiking trails in the hinterland - plus the large fantastic terrace with evening sun. Highly recommended if you are looking for Greece beyond overtourism.

Sincere thanks for the wonderful time. We stayed here again for 3 weeks and are just as excited as our last stay. Upon arrival in the evening, the fireplace burned and generated pleasant warmth. Other highlights were the homemade cakes, eggs, tea, and olive oil. The tavern next door was a port of warmth and delicious local dishes and is also highly recommended.
