Here at MV properties, we have accomplished so much this year and we are proud of the hard work from all of our team members. Likewise, we are so thankful to all our clients and to all of you who support us in any way, we appreciate the support immensely. 

If we take a look at some of our highlights for 2022, we are thrilled that we were able to complete so many projects this year. Transforming any home/addition or outdoor space is truly a rewarding experience. To see what can be done; the possibilities of how something can become better than it was before, is such a satisfying and valuable process that we enjoy doing. Here are some highlights of our projects.

Another highlight for us, would be welcoming many new sellers to our portfolio and growing our properties database. This way, we have a wider selection of properties for sale, allowing us to truly help our clients find exactly what they are after because of the diversity in our portfolio.

Thirdly, we couldn’t leave out the highlight of actually selling the properties themselves. There is nothing that gives us greater joy and satisfaction than when we are able to help someone find their forever home/holiday home, or piece of paradise here on Ithaki. It is such a privilege to be on this journey; to help one sell a property and to help one find exactly what they are looking for. Here are a few properties that we sold this year, and we wish the new home owners all the best with their new venture.

As we know December is the month of Christmas, a time to have quality time with our families, to take time out and recharge our batteries for the upcoming year. We wish all our family, friends and clients a very Merry Christmas. We hope you will enjoy the festive season, as much as we do!

This is a wonderful time in Ithaki, it is quiet and peaceful; the smell of Greek sweets at every bakery is in the air; the lights twinkling in all the shops, the cold setting in with the contrast of the warm fires lit in each home, where families gather.

We are pleased as the year comes to a close, and we are eager for the new year that lies ahead.

So, we can proudly say, “that’s a wrap!” We can’t wait to welcome the new year in. We are so looking forward to getting back to business in 2023. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season from all of us here at MV properties.

Harvesting your Olives

One of the most compelling reasons to buy property on Ithaca is not just to enjoy the glorious summer months but to take part in the everyday island traditions that take place all year round. Harvesting your own olives is just one of many local traditions that can be enjoyed in the off-season months.

Owning your own home on the island allows you to extend your stay into the quieter months giving you time to enjoy these simple moments of everyday island life.

At MV Properties we are passionate about sharing all aspects of island life with prospective buyers. 

Enjoy our step by step guide to olive harvesting below.

Exploring Ithaca 

There are many ways to explore Ithaca but one of the most refreshing and rewarding has to be by foot. The island offers extensive natural trails that enables locals and tourists alike the opportunity to explore areas of the island that are only accessible by walking and allows you to immerse yourself within the surrounding natural beauty. You are bound to be rewarded every step of the way by the magnificent breath-taking views, the reassuring cool breeze of the ocean air and the unforgettable memories which will remain in your heart. Autumn is the perfect time to explore these trails as the weather cools and the islands quietens.

Ithaca has so much to offer throughout the year and we are privileged to live in such a diverse and beautiful place. Whether you are looking to travel to Ithaca for a holiday or are looking to relocate, MV Properties is here to guide you every step of the way. You can find our extensive list of rentals here as well as our property listings here.

See some of our top trails below or for a more extensive trail guide click the link below.

Roussano Trail
Starting at the monopati (footpath) on the road heading up to Exoghi, you will walk along the ridge of the mountainside. Enjoy panoramic views overlooking Stavros village and Polis Bay. Approximately a 45 minute walk ending at the naturally-formed plateau of Roussano.

Anoghi to Kioni 
An easy and pleasant route starting from the Araklis Menir. Following a stone-paved path among olive trees fields and dense vegetation, the route ends up in Three Mills (Treis Myloi) which constitute Kioni’s landmark!

The Church of Panagia Spiliotissa 
Take the footpath starting from the plateau of Marathias, in the south of Ithaca. The wondrous views overlooking the southern landscape of the island will leave you in awe and in search for more trails to follow and explore.

Platreithias
A circular route combining a walk in the wild, a visit to archaeological sites and swimming in the sea! Starting from the bridge of Platreithias and passing by Exoghi, where we find two important medieval churches, we visit the fountains of Kalamos and we reach Perivoli beach.
