The region is ideal for nature lovers, as very close by there are four magnificent gorges. The scenery is embellished by two beautiful rivers: “Kourtaliotis” and the river of “Preveli” that passing by an old arched bridge, forms a picturesque pond, before reaching the sea.

Extra virgin olive oil, traditional cheese as graviera, myzithra, anthotyro and feta, honey and rusks from local producers, fresh vegetables cut on the spot from the gardens and delicious season fruits, make a perfect meal to enjoy at your villa’s terrace, looking at the great view.
