Prime Sunset Villas in Porto Heli- Greece, another part of heaven

July 9, 2021

 

Nuzzled amidst the gracious nature, three unrivalled luxury villas in Porto Heli, Greece,  harmoniously blend into the miraculous seascape providing an intimate hideaway for families  and discerning travellers in search for a heaven on earth. Brilliantly positioned in a scenic area near Porto Heli  town,  these exclusive private villas with pool, have been brilliantly appointed and designed to ensure a prestigious holiday experience for all treasured owners or guests.

The development’s location was strategically chosen for its close proximity to the center of Porto Heli, (only 2km from main port), perfect elevation with unobstructed views onto the sea and backdrop of the Peloponnese, and yet only 50 meters away from a secluded charming pebbled beach directly across from the villas.  Every villa has a slight variation in design, build-up area and land size, sharing a common private road in the back of the development, allowing access to each of the villas through a privately gated entrance.

Vasilopita, my family recipe for the amazing New Year’s Cake..!

January 11, 2021
Vasilopita by Georgia Papadon

 

An incredible recipe from by mum’s cookery book …!

Vasilopita  is the highlight of the season’s festivities for me. The special dessert is named after St Basil, a very wealthy and generous man living in Cappadocia in the 4th century who, as the story goes, decided to distribute his fortune to those in need, by making small pies and hiding money or jewellry in each one of them.

On New Year’s Day in Greece and in many European countries,  families cut the Vasilopita (New Year’s white cake) to bless the house and bring good luck for the new year.

This is usually done at the midnight of New Year’s Eve. A coin is hidden in the cake by slipping it into the dough after baking. At midnight the sign of the cross is etched with a knife across the cake. A piece of cake is sliced for each member of the family and any visitors present at the time, as well as for Saints or whomever else the household wants to honour, by order of age from eldest to youngest.

Whoever finds the coin is supposed to have good luck for the rest of the year .
