Very few people choose to hire a car when attending our retreats, it's best to use a taxi to get to the villas. And you can give them the address above and they will know where to go. However, below are directions if you are driving to us. 

​

Turn right out of the airport toward Messini. After about a kilometer you will reach a roundabout at the

beginning of the town of Messini. Take the last exit signposted to Pylos. Be careful on this roundabout,

the priorities are not as normal, but yours should be the priority route, just watch out for other drivers.

​

Continue on the road to Pylos for about 10Km until you enter a village called Rizomilos. There will be a

turning off to the left directed to Koroni and Petalidi. Take this left hand turn. Carry on along this road.

After about 8Km you will arrive at a roundabout. Take the second exit and enter the small town of

Petalidi. In Petalidi you will go across the top of the church square and turn left to go down the far side

of the square following the sign to Koroni.

Just past Petalidi you will get to a new T junction, turn left towards Koroni. After about 2 Km on this

new road you will reach a large crossroads with a sign to the left saying Kalamaki and a sign to the right

to Achladohori.

Turn right at these crossroads.

​

After you have turned right, proceed up the narrow winding road for 1.5 kms. After 1.5 km Irini Villas is

on your right with large blue iron gates (see photo). There is a large sign outside with the name. Please

drive in. Park anywhere under the trees before the stone wall.

We will be there to greet you.
