There is a small outdoor basketball terrain as well as an indoor table tennis table in an adjacent store room separate from the main house. The location is ideal for swimming and hiking, following walking paths through olive groves and wild flowers. If a guest has an artistic inclination and wants to paint or draw indoors or be inspired by the wonderful landscape the owner's study room is equipped with a working table and easel.

Guests may wonder around the olive and citrus grove, pick up any fruit (depending on the time of year) visit the natural water spring and the irrigation cisterns, taking the due care, especially with children.
Guests will have the freedom to communicate with the owners to solve any problem arising or to ask any kind of advice regarding their stay. For emergency purposes there will be always someone to contact by phone in the immediate area.
Although the house is isolated and provides peace and quiet, it is not far from necessary amenities. The sea front is within 4 km. Small supermarkets, taverns, two chemists, a butcher shop, can all be found within a distance of 4 to 6 kms. For more shops, clothing, nightlife, restaurants, cinema, medical facilities, bookshops, etc one needs to drive not more than 10 kms to the nearest town of Xylokastron. The house is an ideal location to organize visits to important archeological sites like Ancient Corinth, picturesque landscape like nearby lakes, enjoy plain or organized beaches, seaside restaurants with fresh fish and local delicacies. If one feels like driving a bit longer, the famous ancient theater of Epidaurus, or the glory of Mycenae are within reach. On the other hand if someone decides to spend most of his time at the house, he may still enjoy walking in the surrounding rural area amongst olive and lemon trees, vine yards, cypresses and pines.
