The first image that welcomes you to Rokka guesthouse is the panoramic commanding view of the Stouros mountain peak, whilst the courtyard is an open window to the surrounding valleys. This is where your journey begins and where you get to know the village life, its people and us! Rokka isn’t just another guesthouse in Zagori. This is our home and it’s open to those who would like to experience our way of life with us!

accomodation

The guesthouse exterior is representative of the distinctive grey stone-built architecture of the region, which dates all the way back to the 19th century. Inside, we have 5 bedrooms, which have been fully renovated to offer a simple yet homely, cosy and tranquil space to relax. Rokka is not about luxury, it’s all about the warmth of the home and the people. All of the rooms have toilet and washing facilities and two of them have their own fireplace.

wool & weaving

On the first floor of the guesthouse, two rooms have been dedicated to the art of weaving and the world of wool. Lena has been immersed in this world for over a decade and if you like, she can show you how to weave and create your own piece of fabric.

In the workshop you can witness all of the stages of wool processing: carding, spinning using a distaff and spinning wheel, and finally you can dye the wool different colours with natural plant dyes that have been collected from the surrounding nature.

When you are ready you can make your very own creations!

activities

The surrounding area offers ample opportunities for a vast range of activities in nature. Georgia can help you plan short or long-distance treks, depending on what you would like to see and do.

You can go horse-riding and explore the valleys and paths of the picturesque villages of Mikro Papigo and Megalo Papigo, two villages which have been amphitheatrically built on the steep slopes that look up towards the imposing Astraka peak of Mount Tymphe.

Vasilis can take you water rafting in the crystal-clear, turquoise waters of the Voidomatis river.

The spring and autumn seasons offer the opportunity to grab your baskets and go mushroom foraging in the valleys with Katerina so you can collect your own wild mushrooms, black and white truffles.

As far as rainy days are concerned, these aren’t a problem as we turn them into hours of creative fun in Lena’s Saita workshop which is located on the first floor of the guesthouse.
