The immediate vicinity is a Unesco Protected area.The estate is amphetheater-like and provides the visitors with a breath taking, panoramic view of the Mount Athos Gulf,Ammouliani Island,the 5 smaller isles named Drenia and a surreal view of the night sky.

Our cottage was built in the mid-70s inside a plot of land of 10.000 square meters and was recently renovated (during the early months of 2016) with respect to the environment using eco-friendly materials.

As a family, we used to spend our summers there raising our children and accomodating friends and extended family.For every visitor that will choose to spend a few days here at our estate, we have many suggestions for his or her entertainment, to learn and familiarize him/herself with aromatic-pharmaceutical plants and receive training on how to make health and beauty,natural remedies.

During your stay we will also have at least one cooking session,making the most iconic and representative dishes of the Greek and Mediterranian cuisine. You can relax under the shade of the big pine trees, swim in the crystal-clear waters of the beach infront of the estate, walk along the quiet esplanade either towards the borders of Mt.Athos, or towards the village of Ouranoupolis. With the mountain bikes we provide free of charge, you might not even need a car to do so. Moreover, waiting for you,there is a kayak for enjoying peaceful rides inside the tranquil small coves.
