Land Plot for Sale

In a prominent, mountainous area of the Municipality of West Mani and just 6 km away from the popular -in locals and travelers- Kardamili, a plot of 4.045 sq.m. is for sale. On this beautiful hill of Mani, there is a imposing village called Proastio that overlooks the entire coastline. The plot is located on a hill, 350 m. from the settlement, at a distance of five minutes walk from the main square. In our area, regardless of the size of the plot, the maximum building permit is 200 sq.m. This property has an easy access and it is surrounded by olive groves and traditional houses that greatly increase the value of the plot. The video that you can find below also shows all the olive trees that are forming the outline of this property. Another advantage of the plot is that it has direct access to electricity and water. Another advantage of the plot is that it has amazing and unobstructed views to the sea and to the mountains to the North. One of the oldest and most important post-Byzantine villages of the region, with a strong traditional color, Proastio (or Prasteio), overlooks the Messinian Gulf from a slope of Taygetos, 6 km SE of Kardamyli and 43 km from Kalamata. Together with the seaside Neo Proastio (or Porto Kalamitsi) and the settlement of Lakkos, it forms a local district of the municipality of western Mani. It is mentioned as early as 1479 among the four main villages of the area. Due to its fortified positions, the suburb suffered great destruction by the Turks, who burned it down twice in the 17th century, forcing a large part of the population to emigrate to Taranto in southern Italy. Proastio was the seat of a bishopric in the 18th century, but as early as the 15th century, when its lands were granted to the Palaiologues and the Melissinians of Mistra, hundreds of churches had been built, many of which, although ravaged by time and abandonment, still survive today. Today in the suburb there are about 200 old buildings with special features, including arched houses of elaborate construction, built with limestone from the local quarries, and 40 Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches, with excellent hagiographies, reflecting the old and intense religious life.
