JOIN KAREN AND SEAN IN ANCIENT GREECE!
Breathtaking views, Greek meals, immersing into the local culture, relaxation, and of course, some yoga. A magical setting you won’t want to miss.
Our home for the week epitomizes the Greek village experience, located peacefully on the sea in the port of the quaint fishing village of Ancient Epidavros. Unspoiled and away from mass tourism, our hotel sits next to a bay of morning sunrises, afternoon sail boats lazily making their way to shore and evening magenta colored sunsets which can be viewed against the backdrop of the sleeping volcano of Methana. Here you can lose yourself on a nearby beach, excavate your way through ancient ruins or explore the quaint village and its colorful inhabitants. The location provides a peaceful setting for yoga and meditation with culture and activities only a stone's throw away.
The Mangelis Family has owned and operated this quaint hotel for generations, and they have an acclaimed reputation for the finest seaside and Greek vegetarian cuisine in the village. Each meal is made with fresh ingredients and is born from the Mediterranean traditions, which balance the body, mind and soul. If you happen to be interested in culture and history then monuments of world heritage are steps away.
Enjoy a beautiful blend of serenity, retreat and Greek culture that is sure to inspire and rejuvenate. With its unique blend of resources, it is the perfect location for introspective retreats or explorative and adventurous retreats.
The rooms are simple and clean with a Mediterranean feel. Most rooms offer a view of the sea and a balcony, and gentle waves can be heard through the open windows. Single, double and triple occupancy are available.
There will be one, two or three guests per room. We’ll assign you a roommate unless you come with a friend. You may opt for a single room for an additional price, however these are limited.
