A miniature complex of two apartments
and two studios, quite aptly named Nama -- a word deriving from
classical Greek meaning "spring water"/ "life giving
force" -- thanks to its ideal location on a ridge overlooking
the Aegean Sea and the two streams cascading from Kissos down the
Mouresi valley. Nama Apts & Studios is situated in Agios Dimitrios,
a village of northeastern Pelion at an altitude of 400 meters above
sea level. From its position right off the main square, the accommodation
commands stunning views of the Aegean Sea and Mount Athos in its
eastern horizon, and a dramatic panorama of Mount Pelion's most
beautiful ravine at the bottom of which lies a hidden valley of
exquisite beauty.
What's more, the guests have easy access to the
neighbouring resorts. For example, a 10-minute drive will take one
to Kissos, a most beautiful village at an elevation of 600 meters;
a 15-minute drive in the opposite direction will lead to the nearby
beaches of Agios Ioannis, Plaka and Papa Nero; the winter sports
lover will need only a 30-minute drive to get to Hania, Pelion's
well-frequented skiing resort. Last but not least, the physically
fit or those who want to build up stamina can explore the various
paths and mule-tracks some of which will inevitably lead to the
lovely, cosmopolitan beach at Agios Ioannis after a 45-minute walk.
There is a mini-market close by and two restaurants
within walking distance. Approximately 15 minutes' walk from the
accommodation there is the little charming square of Xirovrisi under
the protective embrace of five plane trees from which the taverna
situated right in the square has taken its name: "Pente Platania"
[Five Plane Trees], which is open from June to early September.
In our opinion, "Pente Platania" is one of the best eating
places as both the natural decor and the general atmosphere along
with the superbly grilled delicacies and the fresh salads it serves
can gratify not only the palate but also the soul.
THE
APARTMENTS: Walnut or Laura,
sleeping up to 4 persons. They have a balcony looking on to the
garden with great sea and mountain views. Each accommodation consists
of a separate small bedroom with two single beds -- ideal for two
children-- a kitchenette, fridge, electric rings [no oven] and a
lounge-cum-sleeping area where there is a double bed, table and
TV. Each apartment has a shower room-cum-W.C., fireplace plus central
heating with individual thermostat control.
THE
STUDIOS: Apricot or Cherry.
The accommodations open to a ground floor veranda in the garden
from which one can have a choice of sea or mountain view. They are
quite spacious studios, able to comfortably accommodate a couple
with one child, as they are equipped with a double bed, a single
bed and a folding sofa, a kitchenette, small oven with electric
rings, fridge, table and TV. Each studio has a shower room-cum-W.C.,
fireplace plus central heating with individual thermostat control.
It is important to note that the building has been constructed in
such a way that it can be turned into two functional maisonettes
as Walnut and Apricot, and Laura
and Cherry are interconnected with an internal
marble staircase and thus are able to accommodate two families or
a large party of friends that wish to spend their vacation in one
common space.
Unless one is a dedicated walker, car hire is
recommended.
Cleaning and linen change twice a week.
Parking space available.
