Thalames (Koutifari): a traditional and mountainous village of the outer Mani, 58 km from Kalamata and 15 km from Areopolis, municipal district of the municipality of Lefktro. The ancient Thalames are located in the southern part of the province of Kalamata at an altitude of 430 metres. The ancient city was located at a distance of about 80 stadia from Oitylos. The city is usually found under the name Thalame which means "hollow". In this semi-mountainous village of Mani with its paved road, traditional houses and stone-built churches, a very large plot of land of more than 2.300 square meters is for sale. It falls partly within the boundaries of the settlement "Thalames" and partly outside it. However, the part within the boundaries is considered 'complete and buildable' because it has the minimum area and dimensional limits in accordance with the current planning regulations. *Area of original property: 2 618,75 m² *Area of the expropriated part : 224,16 m² *Surface area of land within the settlement : 1565,32 m² *Surface area outside the settlement plan : 820,27 m² *Total area of the plot : 2.395 m² Coefficient of coverage : Per Greek law 85 : 70% Building coefficient : In the central part 0,80
In the remaining part 0,50 Permissible building construction : 400 m² Permissible floors : 2, permitted height : 7,00 m. The plot has a frontage to the main road Kalamata - Areopolis more than 90 meters, while it is surrounded by a magnificent, brand new stone wall, which makes clear the boundaries of the property, from all sides. The plot has 360 degree views. To the north there is a hill, to the east "looks" to the village square, to the south it has unobstructed views to the sea and part of the village, while to the west another part of Messinian Mani. The advantages that make this plot unique: - View to both the mountain and the sea -The large frontage to the road -Its large metric area -The fact that it is within a settlement -The very high building factor -The direct access from/to the main road of the region -Its inclination (enough to give it visibility and at the same time not too steep as to destroy the easy access from the road). -Its clear boundaries and the existence of the brand new and at the same time traditionally built fence. The plot can also be combined with the purchase of a neighbouring plot of 823 square metres which also builds over 240 sqm of housing. Together they are ideal for prospective buyers who wish: -to build their holiday homes side by side -to build a very large house for the whole family -build a permanent home for after retirement -to invest by creating traditional houses for rent. The central square of the village of Thalames (Platanos Square) is located a few meters east of the plot! Today there is a stone-built fountain (ancient spring) which is historically connected with the famous sanctuary and dream oracle of Ino-Pasiphae and was first mentioned by Pausanias. During his tour of the Thalamas, Pausanias refers to the existence of a dream mantle of Ino. Outside the oracle there were bronze statues of God Sun and Pasiphae, while inside there were statues of God Moon. Near the oracle there was a spring of holy water which the consulted people drank and then slept in a special room inside the oracle. The god advised them in their sleep and the priests explained their dreams!
