About this property

Private villa w/ large pool, walking distance from beach, near Athens

Villa KORALIA MARATHON is situated approximately 150m from the sandy beach of Marathon, in an area bursting with ancient history and local culture. Just 25 minutes from the Athens Airport, 45 minutes from the Acropolis & Parthenon, and 15 minutes from the Rafina Port, the location is perfect for visitors looking to explore Greece for the first or fifteenth time!

Entering the villa gate, you are greeted by a beautiful lush garden full of thick grown trees and plants that contribute to the isolation and privacy of its inhabitants, a magnificent swimming pool, and patio complete with a dining table, kitchen sink, and a small fridge.

The large veranda on the ground floor opens indoors into a spacious marbled floor living room with two dining tables, a smart flat screen TV and adjacent fully equipped kitchen, for cooking any local dishes you can imagine.

Walking upstairs, on the upper floor you will find three lovely bedrooms, two of which face the sea, and the third one facing the garden and pool. Surrounding the bedrooms is an extra-large terrace with amazing sea views, perfect for lounging, dining, or just sipping your morning coffee.

Venturing downstairs to the lower floor, you will immediately notice the widespread playroom, sporting a fully-equipped carom (French) billiard table and a bar, for moments of fun and relaxation. There’s also a fully-equipped second kitchen, dining table, and a cozy den. Almost hidden away are two bedrooms, perfect for children, or couples wanting privacy.
The entire lower floor can be isolated from the rest of the villa by closing the stair door, and has its own autonomous entrance/exit.

Every bedroom of the villa, as well as the living room, is equipped with inverter air-conditions, as well as blackout curtains.

Finally, the surrounding area of Marathon is famous for its lovely sandy beaches, taverns, local markets and historical sites. Many of which are at walking distance from the villa, such as the Marathon Fighters Tumuli (850 meters from the villa), were the Athenians defeated Dareios’ Persian army in 490B.C. and the Marathon Beach (150 meters from the villa).

We are looking forward to welcoming you!

Grecian Heaven
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Koralia. A beautiful home and garden with a fabulous pool. Our flight into Athens was delayed by 3 hours and we can't thank the owner enough ,who waited until 11:30pm for us to arrive! And on top of that his Mother had cooked a delicious Pistatsio for us which was very welcome after a very long day travelling. The beautiful beach was just 5 minutes walk from the house, with many places to eat and shop a short walk along the seafront. There are several places of historical interest nearby, but equally if you want to just relax, the pool and garden are perfect for this. We also enjoyed feeding and looking after the resident 'stray' cats... All in all a lovely holiday, and we would highly recommend a stay here.

Amazing villa
From the original booking until the final departure, any questions we had about the villa before and during our stay were always addressed quickly and in a helpful way. Alex, the property manager, and the owner, Kostadis, went out of their way to make our experience as smooth as possible, and made sure our stay was unforgettable. The villa itself exceeded our expectations, the location was great for the beach, bars and restaurants within walking distance, or a short drive to a larger group of shops, restaurants and cafes. The house itself is in a quiet location, and the beautiful garden provides a lot of privacy, with an amazing pool, and we spent most of our time in the garden sitting around the pool, enjoying everything the villa had to offer! And inside, there is enough living space and bedrooms so a large group staying won’t feel crowded, the kitchen is very well-equipped, and the whole house is very clean and well-maintained. We had an amazing holiday, and would definitely go back. And we would highly recommend it!

Super Unterkunft für Urlaub mit Freunden
Wir haben mit einer 13ner Jungsgruppe eine Woche Urlaub gemacht. Der Vermieter war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Haus + Grundstück waren super und wir hatten unserer Ruhe. Das einzige was etwas ärgerlich war, war die Entfernung des nächsten Supermarkts.. Overall super zufrieden. Sehr Empfehlenswert.

The best!
We booked Villa Koralia as a family of 5 and another family of 4 and it was absolutely perfect for us. There is ample space so you aren't living on top of each other. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need and shops/supermarkets are a short drive away The villa itself was spotless on arrival and Kostadis (the owner) was there for check in and throughout our stay he was on hand with any questions I had/help needed, a really lovely, approachable friendly person. The aircon works perfectly keeping us cool in the 38deg heat during our stay. And of course assisted by the beautiful pool. The beach is a short 5 minute walk and there are loads of beach bars along the beach front. You can also walk into the closest little village which has a small supermarket. 1 thing to watch out for, we got a cab from Athens and were ripped off big time because we didn't know better. You should be charged around €45/€50 (we were charged €116). The local cabs we took were all really nice and helpful with very reasonable prices. All in all I would 100% recommend visiting the area, villa Koralia and using Alex at Blue Window Holiday Homes Thank you all for making our stay so wonderful

A perfect family holiday!!
We stayed at Villa Koralia with our children and grandparents. It was like living in a millionaire's resort. The place is simply beautiful, with an amazing garden, pool, and beach very close - at walking distance. The house itself is comfortable, very clean, and well equipped. It was even better than the pictures. The scenery is breathtaking, peaceful and quiet - we spent hours upon hours just truly relaxing on the spacious balcony, or by the pool. The kids had a blast playing in the garden [which is nicely gated] and on the beach. Did I mention the billiard table?...I hesitate to calculate the hours spent playing! The owner is generous, warm and friendly, and made us feel at home upon arrival. The manager helped us with the booking process and made everything so easy. The location is very accessible, and we found everything we needed - groceries, taverns and shops in the immediate area. The people were very kind everywhere we went, and the food was just delicious! Also the location could serve as a hub for daytrips to Athens, and many Islands since the Rafina port is also very close. We visited the beautiful Island of Andros for a day, and it was just amazing to have this wonderful house to return to after the day-trip. It was by far the best rental house we every visited, even though it was off season. We had a fabulous time, and would definitely come back!

Highly recommended!
Our family had the most amazing time in this villa! We visited for five days at the end of October and we are already planning to book again for next year. The villa is stunning and super clean. We fell in love with the pool area and the garden. We all felt like celebrities because the pool area is so beautiful, private and huge. My nephews had the best time of their life playing there and honestly, so did we, the adults! Although we visited late in the year, the weather was splendid and we enjoyed it immensely. Also, there is a wonderful sand beach a couple of minutes by foot which was great. The interior is also excellent. It has a very well equipped kitchen (better than mine, at home!), the bedrooms are marvelous and the common areas as spacious and comfortable. It was very obvious from the moment we set foot that Kostantis, the owner, loves the villa and looks after it with devotion and professionalism. We could immediately see how much care he has put into it and making his guests feel welcome. Also, the villa is located at the perfect spot. We found a lot of shops, tavernas, restaurants, cafes at walking distance. Downtown Athens is a short drive away and we went to the Acropolis and the ancient Agora and then had marvelous dinner and ice cream. Thank you so much Kostantis and Alex, the property manager. You both made everything so easy, comfortable and safe for us. We look forward to visiting again!

Dejligt feriehus i Marathon
Vi nød alle virkelig vores ophold i huset og nærliggende område herunder den dejlige strand tæt på. Området ligger en times kørsel fra Athen, hvilket fuldendte vores ferie, som en dejlig bade- og storbyferie. Det levede fuldt op til vores forventninger. Vi havde en fortrinlig kommunikation med Vrbo omkring de spørgsmål vi havde inden opholdet.

Our best holiday ever!
My family has rented through VRBO for years but we've never stayed in such a wonderful villa before! It is gorgeous, extremely clean, everything inside is new and it is perfect for families with kids. We spent most of our time by the pool. It’s enormous and even has a diving board. You can imagine how happy our kids were! And so were we because the pool is surrounded by tall trees, giving us privacy and the option to sit under the lush shade. There is even an outdoor sink and small fridge so you don't have to walk inside the house to get your fruits or cold drinks. A very important feature is that the property is gated. We felt very safe when our kids were playing outdoors. Inside, the villa is equally amazing. Everything is functional, new, clean, and extremely tidy. And I must mention the playroom with the full-sized billiard, and bar. It was hard pulling the dads away! As for the surrounding area, everything is so close. Groceries, taverns, and most importantly the splendid sandy beach that is right around the corner at 2 minutes walk. Parents will appreciate not needing to put kids in and out of the car all the time. Finally, the villa is located so close to Athens. We visited the Parthenon, Acropolis Museum and had delicious food at Plaka. I wish we could have stayed longer, or forever, really! Thank you so much to the owner Konstadis, you are a gem, and to Alex, the property manager who made our booking so easy for us. We wholeheartedly recommend it!
