In the heart of the Peloponnese is the area of Orini Arcadia, a region offering amazing opportunities for exploration of the Greek nature, in combination to a pleasant stay in picturesque stone villages. The area contains some of the most beautiful landscapes in Greece, with dramatic hills and stunning gorges (Lousios and Neda Gorge) and flowing rivers. This in combination with its traditional villages such as Karytaina, Dimitsana and Stemnitsa offer a unique experience of the real cultural Greece.
We have chosen for your stay a traditional charming hotel where you will experience the non-touristy side of Greece. Our rafting team will paddle with you in one of the most beautiful rivers of our country and will share their passion in the most fascinating way!
