My Home In Olympus

 

 

 

 

My Home In Olympus is exactly that: your home on the foothills of Mount Olympus. Only you live there. Nobody else. You are the absolute masters of your space and time. Nobody will bother you. You are at home. My Home In Olympus was not created as yet another tourist accommodation in a settlement that explodes in the summer and withers away during the winter. It was built by my father as a main, luxurious residence, to accommodate us and our extended family in a typical, no frills village of the Greek countryside. My Home In Olympus is to be found in a property of approximately 1 000 square meters (one acre). It has one space of closed parking, for you to literally park the car inside the house, should you so wish, 2 open parking spaces inside the field, and an unlimited number of places in the surrounding streets. It is made up of four levels: basement, lower ground floor, upper ground floor, and first floor. The upper ground floor comprises the common areas, an impressive living and dining room with a fireplace and a very big, fully equipped kitchen. There is also a toilet and a small storage area at this level. The lower ground floor is the first living nucleus with 2 bedrooms, a WC with shower and a work room that includes the washing machine, the ironing board etc. The first floor is the second living nucleus with another 2 bedrooms, an office with its own storage area, and a two-space toilet with a bathroom. The floors are made of Greek luxurious marble in all the common areas. Its office, as well as its 4 bedrooms, are covered with warm wood while its three bathrooms are adorned with stylish tiles. Utilitarian, durable tiles adorn the storage and working areas. My Home In Olympus can accommodate 8 people as its stands. It can however be adapted to your needs, should you require it, to accommodate up to 12 people, by also adding the 3 sofa beds in its living room and its kitchen. Two beds for infants are available for families with very young kids. If you have a need for additional beds like these, we will be happy to accommodate you. In the one-acre garden you can relax in the deck chairs and the hammock while your kids play carefree, enjoying the hospitable sun of Mount Olympus. Parking will never be an issue for your vehicle or vehicles, neither will be traffic on the road or any other nuisance. For those who must stay professionally active during their holidays, the office (wi-fi, wireless printer) allows you to do just that. For the book lovers and movie fans, My Home In Olympus has a book and film library that we are constantly expanding. Our satellite connection gives you access to the main TV networks in Greece and abroad. The property is on the foothills of Mount Olympus, in Pyrgetos, overlooking the rich plains of Thessaly before the Tempi valley from an altitude of 140 meters. Pyrgetos is a no frills village of the Greek countryside with 2 000 inhabitants, that lives and breathes during the whole year, without population spikes during the summer season. It is easily and immediately accessible through the A1 motorway (Athens – Thessaloniki), which is known by its European moniker E75. Driving from Thessaloniki, you will find it only a few kilometres before the valley of Tempi, while coming from Athens a few kilometres after it. The area’s microclimate is dry and warm during the later spring and summer season, as well as the early autumn season, with cool nights. There are seldom any extreme weather phenomena, with transient as much as welcome summer rains to highlight the tang of the fertile soil of Thessaly and chill down the air. The village has many supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops and bars, none of which is as near to My Home In Olympus as to cause a disturbance. Pyrgetos itself, outside its big annual festival on the 23rd and 24th of August, is not a major tourist magnet. This makes it ideal as a calm base in order to explore destinations in Thessaly and Macedonia.
