West Mani, Greece Lee Juggurnauth

Lee Juggurnauth jets off to the West Mani Peninsula in Greece to help house hunters Liz and Ian find their dream holiday home where they can enjoy the sunny climate and their love of outdoor sports.

About the area

During the summer you can pick up a 4 hour flight to Kalamata Airport in the Peloponnese, which is just an hours drive to the West Mani region, or a plane to Athens Airport, all year round, with a 3 hour commute.

And the drive is well worth it. This peninsula is packed with some serious history, awesome mountain back drops, beautiful beaches and plenty of sea-front tavernas with a laid-back vibe.

Attracting visitors from around the world, this area is also popular with celebs who come to “seek-and-hide” alongside a growing number of house-buyers, pushing up prices by 15% in the last 6 months alone.
