Adventure

Item Description

Planning your next trip to Europe? Ready for something that will move every part of your body, mind and spirit?

Eumelia is just the place for you. This breathtaking agro tourism, organic olive oil farm and eco-luxury hotel in the Peloponnesian region of Greece is sure to delight.

Eco and sustainability-minded travellers will love that all buildings are heated and cooled with geothermal power while a ground-breaking root-based waste management system is among the first of its kind in the Mediterranean region. If you are interested in environmental education, yoga, mind-body healing, tai chi or other modalities, you might be there when a seminar is scheduled to run (and if you are a teacher yourself, you might want to explore options to teach in the magnificent setting of olive groves and herbs which have been in the owner’s family since the 1890s). If you want some peace and quiet to meditate and be still in nature or a tranquil base from which to explore this fascinating area of Greece, Eumelia is sure to please.

This item includes a five (5) night stay for two people including a yummy breakfast with locally and sustainably sourced food (as featured on the PBS show, "The Cooking Odyssey")
