LAST WEEK, OUR STUDIOS WERE FILLED WITH THE TIRED FEET OF A HIKING GROUP FROM NETHERLANDS - minds full of adventure stories.
Paralio Astros is a village in which people know each other. And when you arrive, the locals feel philoxenia - hospitality, turning strangers into friends - no need for Greek language here, but if you try, they like it.
Everything is close by. A cute marina, the 2,500 year old olive tree in Koutroufa, Moustos Healing Well, Parnon Mountains. The Arcadian coastline is 100 km of beauty, accessible sea, exploring, and small hidden beaches. Our beaches have handy elevators for handicapped people to get in and out easily.
And if you want a city for a day, just hop off to Nafplio, Argos, Tripoli and other local beauties. Nothing is far in Peloponnese. And the beauty is that it is not a Greek island. You can explore by car everywhere, go to the mainland, drive through Balkan to the rest of Europe...
And when you want to be sailing, we give you the contacts to sailing boats, fishing trips, best hiking places, and mountain walking guides if you want them. Explore Peloponnese will show you the best waterfalls, rock monasteries, keep you safe in mountains where GPS is often not working, and tell you all myths and magic.
Welcome, our friends, welcome!
Warm regards,
Vivian Manolesou and team
