The Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House in Kardamyli is a magnificent blend of culture, history, and natural beauty, nestled within a lush Mediterranean garden filled with cypress and olive trees, white oleanders, and aromatic shrubs cascading towards the sea. This house, designed by architect Nikos Hatzimichalis in collaboration with the Leigh Fermors, was completed in the 1960s and is considered one of Greece’s most beautiful properties.
Originally the beloved home of Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor, a distinguished author and war hero, and his wife Joan, the house now serves as a center for intellectual and cultural engagement. Donated to the Benaki Museum in 1996, it was intended as a retreat for intellectuals and scholars, fostering creativity and study in an inspiring environment. The property includes the main house, a studio-office building, and two additional residential buildings, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience authentic Greek hospitality in a setting of historical significance.
Enhancing this unique offering, Vivestia has created a 3D Virtual Tour of the Leigh Fermor House, allowing potential visitors to explore its intricate beauty and serene surroundings digitally. This immersive experience not only showcases the estate’s physical charm but also enriches the visitor’s interaction with the property’s rich history and cultural legacy.
This blend of historical reverence, cultural richness, and modern technology makes the Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House not just a destination but a profound experience, inviting guests to step into a living piece of history enhanced by the latest in virtual reality technology
