ELENI KOUVARI
A traditional stone tower, built in 1894, located at the hill top of Vathia, one of the most photographed places of Mani Peninsula (in Peloponnese) with a great view to the sea. If you want to enjoy the luxurious environment of the recently renovated tower which will offer you moments of relaxation, senerity and calmness, this is the right place for you. It is a two-storey tower, with three bedrooms, hallway, living room, fireplace, kitchen, dining room, two bathrooms and a patio indoor oven with a bedroom. In the courtyard there is a marble table with stone – built seats and a patio with barbeque. In the north courtyard you will find a large wooden table with comfortable chairs.
Η Ελένη Κούβαρη του Λεωνίδα γεννήθηκε, μεγάλωσε και κατοικεί στα Μανιάτικα του Πειραιά. Είναι καθηγήτρια – φιλόλογος, εργάζεται στη Δημόσια Δευτεροβάθμια Εκπαίδευση κι έχει διδάξει σε πολλά σχολεία του Πειραιά. Είναι πτυχιούχος του τμήματος Φιλοσοφίας – Παιδαγωγικής – Ψυχολογίας κι έκανε μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στη Φιλοσοφική και στην Ιατρική Σχολή Αθηνών. Έχει εκπονήσει διδακτορική διατριβή με θέμα: «Ιστορία της Μάνης και Διδακτική της Τοπικής Ιστορίας». Φοιτά στο Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο, στο τμήμα «Διεθνών Ευρωπαϊκών και Περιφερειακών Σπουδών». Έχει αναπτύξει πολύπλευρη δραστηριότητα κι έχει ενεργό συμμετοχή σε πολλές δράσεις συλλόγων και φορέων. Έχει διοργανώσει πολυάριθμες πολιτιστικές εκδηλώσεις, την Πειρατική Βραδιά στο Γερολιμένα, ομιλίες, τελετές αδελφοποίησης με Κρήτη, Γραβιά, Σαρδηνία και Κορσική. Με δικές της ενέργειες πραγματοποιήθηκε η θεμελίωση μνημείων πεσόντων Μανιατών σε Έδεσσα και Ιωάννινα. Στις εκλογές της «Ένωσης των Απανταχού Μανιατών», εξελέγη πρώτη σε ψήφους και θήτευσε ως γενική γραμματέας του συλλόγου. Είναι πρόεδρος του Πανελληνίου Συνδέσμου Γυναικών Μάνης. Στις εκλογές του 2010 εξελέγη Δημοτική Σύμβουλος Πειραιά,.
Η Βάθεια είναι ο πιο χαρακτηριστικός παραδοσιακός οικισμός της Μάνης. Πολυφωτογραφημένη, κι όχι άδικα. Μια καστροπολιτεία, σκαρφαλωμένη στην κορυφή ενός λόφου, που αγναντεύει επιβλητικά τη θάλασσα, χαρακτηριστικό δείγμα της μανιάτικης αρχιτεκτονικής αλλά κι ένας θησαυρός για ολόκληρη την ιστορία της Ελληνικής αρχιτεκτονικής. Οι Πύργοι και τα Πυργόσπιτα της Βάθειας είναι χτισμένα το ένα κοντά στο άλλο, με μικρά λιθόστρωτα μονοπάτια ανάμεσά τους. Οχυρωμένες κατοικίες και πολεμόπυργοι με μικρά παράθυρα, πολεμίστρες και ζεματίστρες, συγκροτούν ένα κτηριακό σύνολο που γίνεται απροσπέλαστο οχυρό, ετοιμοπόλεμο πάντα για να αντιμετωπίσει τον ενδεχόμενο εχθρό. Ο οικισμός περιβάλλεται από πράσινο, δέντρα και θάμνους της Μάνης ενώ την άνοιξη προστίθενται και τα αγριολούλουδα που φυτρώνουν στους κήπους και τους δρόμους του χωριού.
