Description:
Landscaping and garden design of immediate surroundings of an 18th century Greek country-house - a synthesis of terraced gardens, inner and outer court yards, including a swimming pool and belvedere. The general layout, the style, the details, all remind of similar compositions to be found on the Ionian islands. The different areas have been decorated with 18th century Italian style walls, pebble mosaic pavements, fountains and statues. Sub-level terraces and gardens have been built, lined with remains of ancient columns and stone benches. The result of the work, designed and carried out under guidance of Professor Ghika, is an open air living area. The landscape of the outer parts of the estate has been left to its traditional semi-agrarian - semi-natural state.
