Happy Thursday! A beautiful, characterful old Greek tower-home for sale in Mani, Peleponnese, Greece!
I’m off for a long weekend away, but before I go, posting this super charming Greek property in Mani! I love the tower houses that date back to medieval times when fortified houses were built by Greeks to defend their territory during conflicts with Turkish forces. A fascinating history and as a result, fascinating architecture.
