**2007 prices held for 2008** Olive Grove apartment is a bright, modern, spacious, one bedroom holiday apartment of 50 sq/mtrs. It is set on the edge of the olive groves near a small hillside village midway between kalamata and Stoupa in the messinia region of the Peloponnese. With the sea to the west (so you should get some spectacular sunsets) and the Taigetos mountains to the east you are surrounded by glorious views. This is rural Greece at its best, where the villagers wave to you as they pass by on their way to work in the olive groves or to tend their sheep and goats.
