Owners description

Porto Koufo Resort is a tranquil residential complex located just 180 meters from the beach of Porto Koufo in Sithonia, the second leg of Halkidiki. Porto Koufo literally translates as Deaf Port, the name arising from the fact that Koufo is the safest port in the northern Aegean thanks to the significant depth and shielding from the open sea.

The Porto Koufo Resort is located opposite the entrance of the port and impresses with its traditional architecture, stone arches, paved roads and terraces. The estate grounds are based within a natural amphitheatre environment on a number of terraces. The estate is spread out over a fabulous area of 35,000 square meters, of which 5,000 are landscaped as a stunning garden with lawn, rock gardens and palm trees. There are also apple, pear, lemon, apricot, peach, cherry, olive and two plane trees that generously offer their shade and coolness.

The pool (8x12m) is located on the second terrace and is secured with a protective net for children. The pool terrace includes sunbeds, umbrellas, chairs and tables where guests can relax and enjoy coffee, juices and light snacks. The higher terraces overlook the vineyard and all the property is certified by DIO (Certification & Inspection Organization of Organic Products) as an organic farm. The complex is surrounded by woodland (pine trees, etc.).

The guests of the seven furnished apartments can enjoy the uninterrupted idyllic views, landscaped gardens with lawn, palm trees and rock gardens blooming, all within 100 meters of the golden sandy beach and the picturesque tavernas of Porto Koufo.The residential complex offers guests different options covering all needs and tastes.

At our guests' disposal, there are comfortable couches, chairs, tables and sunbeds. The pool terrace includes an outdoor shower area, a BBQ, a traditional stone oven for baking or cooking with wood and a big freezer. There are beautiful spots everywhere on the estate for relaxing or sunbathing.

For larger vessels, the port of Porto Koufo is a very good option, given that it is the largest and safest natural harbour in Greece. Upon request, we can make all the necessary preparations for departure (cleaning, gasoline, water and supplies).
