Overview

Region

The holiday region Pieria has countless orchards, forests, fields and beaches against the background of Thessaloniki and Chalkidiki. Follow the tracks of Apostle Paul or Alexander the Great.

Philosophy

Respecting each person, regardless of age, origin and religion, is as important to us as a conscious treatment of nature. We promote creativity and provide space for personal development!

Nature awareness

Preserving forests

Together with our guests, we participate in a program called “A day for the forest“. In this context, we’re observing the forest on a hight seat in order to detect wildfires.

Local producers

Fruits and vegetables, cereals, olives and wine are growing in our region. We buy fresh food from local farmers and support the women's cooperative in Livadi, the local monasteries as well as the vineyards of the Wine Route of Mount Olympus.

Acting sustainably

A conscious usage of resources with space for stability and natural regeneration of the habitat is paramount.

Beach and sea

Due to an excellent water quality, mussels are grown off the coast. Fishermen are fishing without trawls, because this region is considered as one of the richest fishing areas of the country. The Saline offers a home for many flamingos as well as excellent sea salt.

Tap water

A 120m deep well provides us with fresh drinking water from mount Olympus. Filled up in glass bottles, it is available to all our guests for free!

Energy efficiency

By building houses with proper orientation towards the sun and using straw bales for insulation, we have minimized the energy required for heating and cooling.

Protecting species

The 34,000 square meter area is surrounded by trees and bushes. Two fresh-water lakes form a beautiful and well protected habitat for waterfowl, herons, diving ducks, turtles and otters. Kingfishers nest here one to five times a year and in autumn, Flamingos walk along the beach.
