There is a veranda on two sides plus its own garden sitting area. Villa Dafni is 30 sq.m and sleeps 2 and also has breathtaking view of the mountains and sea. It has two terraces, one facing the sea, shaded by bougainvillea, vines and jasmine the other accessed by the main room and the bedroom. sleeps 2 and is L-shaped and nestles in its own corner well away from the other two villas and is surrounded by fig trees, oleanders, herbs and many flowers. This villa is wonderfully spacious, set in an elevated position with a huge veranda that wraps round 2 sides of the villa, enjoying a spectacular view. and can sleep up to 4 people using the sofabed in the living room, either as a double or two singles. However, the largest of the villas, Villa Elya, is 60sq.m. All three villas have one bedroom and ideal for a couple. We have three villas with a shared swimming pool set in an acre of beautiful terraced gardens dripping with bougainvillea, jasmine, oleanders, vines, and many more lush and sweet scented flowers. If Greece can achieve this, all it will then need is persistence and patience.Fig Leaf Villas is a small, high quality naturist resort in the Southern Peloponnese set above the Messinian Gulf amongst olive groves with wonderful views of the sea and the mountains beyond. This would provide a framework for UN mediator Matthew Nimetz, who seems to be heading down the slippery slope of a dual-name solution.

To avoid this, Greece will need to have its own proposal ready for a composite name that refers to the geographical factor, such as «Upper Macedonia». And they hope that if Athens exercises its veto, US pressure will be brought to bear on Greece. But losing a year will not be the end of the world. For the Slav Macedonians, it is of vital importance to join NATO and the EU it means protection for the shaky unity of their state that remains vulnerable to the irredentist tendencies of the Albanian minority. Of course Athens cannot force them to change their country’s name, but they can make their refusal costly. Although Skopje has a lot to lose if it doesn’t join and if its accession to the EU does not move forward, it will exhaust all avenues before taking a step backward. So Athens went with the second option, which was to allow accession to NATO on the condition that an agreement was first found over the name. Greece would be left with nothing to do but admit defeat.

«Macedonia» would prevail once and for all. Skopje would have no reason to yield one inch.

If it had allowed FYROM to join NATO under that name, it would have committed a national crime by default and relinquished its only weapon. The Karamanlis government had two choices. However, time worked in favor of the Slav Macedonians, since their state was gradually recognized under their chosen name by the majority of UN members. Athens was satisfied with the temporary solution provided by «FYROM,» which became a sort of fig leaf. The same applies with respect to the minority view (also damaging to the national cause) that the name didn’t matter. Trapped in its untenable position of «neither ‘Macedonia’ nor a derivative thereof,» Greece made it very easy for Skopje to win the first crucial rounds of the diplomatic battle. That country’s Slav-Macedonian leaders were never willing to accept anything other than plain «Macedonia.» The ideological concept of a «divided Macedonian homeland» was the founding myth of the federal state within unified Yugoslavia back in the 1940s, and when Yugoslavia broke up, it became the founding national myth of the new state. We knew that finding a name to be used by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was never going to be an easy issue.
