We hope that you will have the chance to see and appreciate this beautiful part of Greece for all it has to offer during your holiday. For this reason we arrange several oportunities for optional group excursions.

Our favorite one is to the Aradaina gorge, not as famed as the Samaria one, but because of this equally, if not more, unspoilt and much less touristy. You can always walk the gorge if you are feeling up for an energetic day, but we will suggest a late afternoon excursion, a half hour hike down to the bottom of the gorge and up the other side to see the setting sun, and a meditation and mantra session overlooking the dramatic drop.

Sweet water beach is our other favorite. The water is actually sweet as there are fresh water springs right on the beach. As a result, the water glistens and on a calm day (that is, most days!) it is true paradise.

Other excursions to nearby villages (e.g., the port village of Loutro, 15 minutes away by boat, 3 EURO) or gorges (e.g., Imbros gorge, 15 minutes bus trip to the entrance and 2 hours hike; Samaria gorge, 2,5 hours road trip to the entrance and 4-5 hours hike), as well as herb picking in the mountains and even bee-keeping can also be arranged upon request. 

The village also offers a scuba diving centre; the instructors are local and therefore closely acquainted to the region’s best in underwater sightseeing, so if this is something you think you would enjoy, we strongly recommend you giving it a try! During the dive, the exhilaration of being underwater, in direct contact with a world of beautiful colours, and the sensation of weightlessness that is normally beyond our reach, is combined with the meditative effects of deep breathing required during the practice of scuba diving.
