Karaiskos Farm

Description

It all start in our vegetable garden.

In a beautiful landscape within the lush forest of Pelion, the unique Karaiskos farm awaits those who wish to get closer to nature and enjoy good food. The farm is located two kilometers beyond the village of Portaria. The farm’s philosophy is based on the principle that “everything starts from our vegetable garden.” The vegetable garden is the focal point of the visitor’s experience, utilizing local seeds and traditional, organic practices for its cultivation.

The farm’s culinary offerings include a restaurant and café where guests can enjoy inspiring dishes and beverages. Only seasonal ingredients from the vegetable garden and pure raw materials from small producers are used to showcase the region’s culinary richness. The combination of olive oil and freshly harvested vegetables promises to fill the table with unique flavors and aromas that will leave a lasting impression on guests.

For young visitors, there are outdoor activities designed to make their visit unforgettable. Staying in the farmhouses completes the overall experience.

Location

Portaria is one of the most popular villages of Pelion. Portaria combines the atmosphere of an authentic Pelion village with unsurpassed views of Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf, as well as considerable tourist infrastructure development. Its picturesque natural beauty and close proximity to the Pelion ski center, the sea, and the city of Volos, make it an ideal destination and a great base for excursions all over Pelion.

Trees and flowers decorate the cobbled streets, traditional stone houses and the squares, and scattered around the village are great mansions, ornate stone fountains, churches, chapels and other monuments.

The village is a holiday destination all year round, as a cool retreat in the summer months with swimming on the coast of the Aegean and the Pagasetic Gulf, for skiing in winter, but also for excursions, hiking and other activities in the autumn or spring nature.

Details

Close to nature with a private garden and BBQ facilities, the farm cottage features a large bed and a sofa bed for children up to the age of 12, a monsoon shower, and a fully equipped kitchen. Immerse yourself in the tranquility and beauty of Pelion, where comfort meets nature. Wake up to the sounds of birds, enjoy fresh air, explore the picturesque surroundings and the farm garden. Unwind with a barbecue in the evening, or relax in the garden with a good book. Your perfect vacation awaits!

Elisson Guesthouse

In the footsteps of local tradition, agro-tourism and culture

The right choice for groups, families with children and people travelling on their own! Visitors can enjoy their stay in a beautiful and relaxing environment, for training, recreation and cultural purposes. The hostel Elisson is created with love and faith in the Greek countryside and meets the need of qualitative accommodation in the rural area of the Corinthian upland region. The hostel was built above the valley of Elisson river, offering a large view over it. The architecture of the building – stone, timber, tile – is in complete harmony with the traditional architecture of Kryoneri and with its the natural landscape.

Location

Kryoneri village is in the centre of Corinthia county, at the same distance between the sea and the mountains. It is built like an amphitheatre, at 740 meters of altitude and has a panoramic view on the Corinthian Gulf, surrounded by vineyards and only 150 km from Athens Airport. Mount Vesiza (1.200 m) overlooks the village and constitutes the natural border with the plain of Stymfalía. From this mountain, the river Elisson spreads, which crosses Kryoneri and the evergreen plain, before flowing into the Corinthian Gulf, towards Kiato.

Details

The Hostel Elisson is an agro-tourism enterprise of people living in the mountainous village of Kryoneri Korinthias. The hostel has five rooms with big verandas, common spaces with fireplace and small restaurant, libraries, seminar and meeting rooms, as well as a nice green courtyard of 7 acres, with trees, grass, flowers and organic vegetables garden.

The conscious use of renewable sources of energy and systems of protection of aquatic resources is included in the eco-tourism philosophy. It uses a biological sewage cleaning system, so that the water can be re-used to irrigate the garden, and precious potable water is not wasted. A geothermic system ensuring hot water from the ground, supplies the hostel with heating.
