Hints and Tips You will find the LemonTree House in Ermioni a perfect base from which to explore the Argolida region of the Peloponnese, and for visiting the nearby islands of Poros, Hydra and Spetses, each offering the holiday maker a different experience. There are many historical and cultural towns or villages around the mainland coast: Porto Heli, Kilada, Fourni, Methana, Kranidi, Galatas and Trizina, and Ermioni are just a few examples close by, or take a trip further afield to places such as Nafplio, which was once the capital of Greece, Argos, Mycenae, Epidavros, Athens, Tiryns, Assini, Tolon, Ancient Corinth and the Corinth Canal itself. Take the opportunity for shopping, riding, walking, especially to the caves at Frachthi, rock climbing at Lizards Rock at Thermissia, Didyma, cycling, hiking, especially through the gorge of Katafyki, scuba diving, as Ermioni has one of the best International diving schools, or relaxing on the beaches and swimming in the crystal blue sea.
The area of Ermioni, is the undiscovered jewel of the Argolida and undiscovered by mass tourism. It is off the beaten track and is a rare gem. It has been kept a secret by the locals and visiting Athenians. Ermioni has one of the best climates all year round. The summer months are extremely hot, yet the winters are very mild with plenty of sunshine during the day, but cooler nights. It is a working Greek community with a mixture of ages, so it doesn't close down in winter. Within the old village of Ermioni, there are many traditional white/blue/lemon painted houses, besides a museum, a library with free WIFI, 2 churches, the local bakers, Gyros bar and a couple of supermarkets. The sea, restaurants and other amenities of Ermioni town, are just a few minutes walk away from LemonTree House. Ermioni itself is on a peninsular embraced on both sides by the sea, with a woodland area at the end called BISTI. This pine covered archaeological site is a perfect place to enjoy a leisurely walk, or swim in the crystal blue sea and enjoy some of the views across to Hydra and Thermissia. Here you will discover ancient remains, an old windmill and rocky coves. On the north side of the peninsular is the natural harbour called LIMANIA, with small fishing boats, shops, banks, post office, pharmacies, cafes, buses, taxis, ferries and the colourful weekly market. On the south side is MANDRAKIA, where you will find waterside bars, restaurants and tavernas with their octopus hung out in the sun, as well as music bars.
