AEGINA - Large Beautiful Mountain Top Villa

This is a family home on top of a mountain in the neighborhood of Vroheia, a well established area on the island. The street is unnamed but it is easy to find. The views are extraordinary. Our home is beautifully maintained. My grandfather owned the land and broke it into 5 parcels for each of his children. My father and mother accepted the parcel and built their home over a twenty year period. Every summer they would come to Aegina for 2.5 months. They would always do something to enhance the property (tile work, marble stairs, etc). During the year they enjoyed planning what they would do to the home the following summer. It was a true labor of their love.
There are eight olive trees, one lemon tree and one pistachio tree on the property.
You will wake up every day with a strong sun and a beautiful view of Moni (an uninhabited island worth exploring) and Perdika a nearby fishing village where you can eat very fresh seafood just brought into the restaurant by a local fisherman.
My childhood memories of my visits to this island are extremely valuable to me. I return every year and get the property ready for my family to use. This summer I am renting the Villa. I am coming in February and March to relax and enjoy our home.
The other four parcels were also built up by my uncles and aunts and our home sits among their homes. They are very loving and do no infringe on your privacy.
You will go into town by bus or rented scooter (found to be reasonably priced in town - definitely negotiate) and you will buy fresh fruit, fish, meat, eggs & bread. There are several bakeries and you must try them all. There is a Souvlaki place in the middle of town a must try. The best Souvlaki in the world. Fruit can be purchased at the pier. Several boats are stocked with fruit and the peddle it right from their boats.
If you search you can find shops that sell hand made linen from local women. Its like buying a work of art. Good luck searching and be careful not to buy machine made products.
The neighborhood beach is a 15 minute walk down the mountain.
You can get by quite well with the bus and walking. Its just beautiful, especially if you rent for 3 months. You will not be in a hurry for anything, you will be relaxing, hopefully you know how. I used to go into town by donkey in the 60's. You don't see many people traveling that way, a few yes.
There are a few supermarkets, drug stores and many hardware stores.
I can't express how much I love this island and the people.
I also have a great General Contractor that can help if there are any problems.
There is a washing machine, but you have to hang your cloths to dry. Its quite refreshing and not a bother.
I may, from time to time, edit this description to give better information. I am available by email if you want to ask additional questions.
