Koko’s Summer House

In Nea Makri, on Troias 2 street, hides a summer retreat that smells of sea and salt — Koko’s Summer House. A place that doesn’t simply welcome you, but embraces you from the very first moment, as if hospitality itself took the shape of a home.

The space
Step through the private entrance and leave the world behind. Here, time follows the rhythm of summer — slow, sweet, gentle like the evening light that spills into the fenced courtyard. The hammock sways like a lullaby, the outdoor furniture invites you to sit without reason or rush, while the outdoor dining area prepares itself for meals you will remember — not just for the taste, but for the light, the breeze and the laughter that surrounded them. The barbecue lights up, the aroma fills the air, and suddenly every evening becomes a celebration.
After a day in the sun, the outdoor shower rinses the salt from your skin, while the nearby beach remains there — close enough for a spontaneous swim, close enough to hear the sea whispering at night.
Inside, the house wraps you in warmth. The wood-burning fireplace crackles on cool evenings, the air conditioning breathes gently on warm ones, and every room exhales comfort — bed linen that embraces you, blackout curtains that gift a darkness as deep as a sea night, extra pillows and blankets for those moments when you simply want to lose yourself in sleep.
The kitchen is a small kingdom of flavours — oven, refrigerator, kettle, toaster, coffee machine for your morning ritual, pots and pans, cutlery, wine glasses waiting to be filled. Here you cook as if you were home, but with a view of summer.
Soft towels, shampoo, shower gel, hair dryer, iron, washing machine — every small detail is there, silent but present, like the care of someone who has been waiting for you.
Koko’s Summer House is not just a place to stay. It is the summer you have always dreamed of — and now, at last, you are living it.

Other things to note
Nea Makri stretches along the eastern coast of Attica like a secret that Athens keeps for its most beautiful days. Just thirty minutes from the heart of the capital, and yet — the moment you arrive, the city feels like it belongs to another world. Here, life follows the rhythm of the wave breaking on the shore, the breeze descending from the hills, the sun sinking slowly into the Euboean Gulf.
The coastline extends generously, with sandy beaches that shimmer beneath the Attic light and waters so clear and blue they call you for morning swims and afternoon strolls with your feet in the sea. Organised and free beaches alternate, offering every visitor exactly what they seek — whether it is the energy of a beach bar or the silence of a secluded corner.
Behind the shore, Nea Makri unfolds a world that many do not expect. Marathon lies just next door, its history whispering with every step — the very place where Greece wrote pages that echo through eternity. The archaeological site, the museum and the burial mound of the fallen carry visitors back to times that still move the soul. The Marathon Lake, hidden among green hills, offers a landscape of unexpected beauty.
Nature here is not decorative — it is everywhere. Pine forests scented with resin and thyme spread across the hills, paths lead to hidden spots with breathtaking views, and the night sky — far from the city lights — fills with stars as if an old wish had finally been granted.
Daily life in Nea Makri flows with Mediterranean grace. Tavernas with fresh fish and sea views, cafés that set their tables on the pavement, small shops with local products. For those who seek stillness, a sun lounger, a book and the sound of the sea is all that is needed.
Nea Makri does not try to impress — it simply exists, genuine and generous, waiting for you to discover it at your own pace.
