One of the most striking and distinctive hotels in the Peloponnese in terms of its unique design and decor, the Synevro Area Synest Theme Park offers a unique relaxation experience for adults and children alike.

Amid a landscape of incredible natural beauty, just two hours from Athens, Area Synest draws its inspiration from the local myth of the nymphs of the Krios River. The tale goes that these river nymphs metamorphosized into creatures that had avian faces and human bodies and took flight. Consequently, visitors to Area Synest will encounter murals throughout the hotel that portray these mythical beings.

Ducks and geese, a ‘village’ of beautiful bunnies, a dovecote, chickens and chicks, colourful parrots and Menios, the estate’s amiable donkey, will provide moments of joy to curious visitors of all ages. Even more so during the festive season, when Area Synest transforms into a vast Yuletide paradise, aglow with countless twinkling lights and decorations, coaxing even the grown-ups to regress into childhood wonder.

As for the guesthouse’s exquisite rooms, they rank among the finest you’ll ever lay eyes on in any mountain retreat in Greece. Adorned with stone, wood, and unique decorative touches (many of the decorative items found in the rooms are also available in the shop), they are the most photogenic and impressive sanctuaries one could seek out in the heart of untamed nature.

In Mountainous Nafpaktia, amid a forest of firs and chestnuts, a charming hotel becomes a wonderland for little ones and a sanctuary of relaxation for adults. In the traditional settlement of Ano Chora, at an altitude of 1,100 metres and just 52 kilometres from Nafpaktos, Crystal Mountain stands as a warm and welcoming winter resort. Almost every weekend of the year, it hosts a variety of events that bring you closer to the beauty of the forest and nature itself.

A mere three and a half hours’ journey from Athens, the hotel boasts pitches, two children’s play areas, one indoors and the other indoors, and a delightful garden ripe for exploration. It ups the ante with a smorgasbord of weekly workshops – a playful concoction of culinary arts, patisserie, gardening and painting. And when the weather is clear and warm enough, the action spills out into the wild with organized hikes in the forest, cycle rides, horseback riding or picnics.

The breakfast spread served up at the Crystal Mountain restaurant is a feast for the senses, hearty enough to tide you over on your journey home. And on days like Boxing Day, expect to be wowed by a staggering brunch buffet before you hit the road. The restaurant doesn’t skimp on value either, offering an economical menu for lunch and dinner, as well as a specially designed kids’ menu that won’t bleed your wallet dry. Every evening, the hotel’s play area turns into a cinema, screening children’s movies well into the night, so parents can steal away to the bar for a tipple or two, sans interruption, while the kids are mesmerized by tales on the big screen.

In the picturesque folds of Zarouchla in Achaia, the charming boutique complex of Nymphes Estate (Ktima) awaits, promising you a slice of carefree living with a dash of adventure, thanks to a host of fun-filled activities set in nature. Each quaint, wooden cottage of the hotel comes complete with its own living room and fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, generous bedding, and beautiful views.

After breakfast, the day’s play begins. Swings in the playground beckon, as does a jaunt through the forest aboard the vivid, wooden train. There’s a farmyard meet-and-greet with ponies, ducks, pups, and kittens, while the summer months offer kids the delight of diving into the beautiful outdoor pool.

For parents, a bunch of great activities await, like organized horseback rides through the woods, cycling expeditions, archery and shooting lessons, and long, leisurely hikes in the glorious, forested landscape offer a respite from urban routine.

Ktima Nymphes serves as a prime launchpad for exploring the intriguing surroundings: Start your journey in the traditional settlement of Zarouchla and then venture out to Lake Tsivlou, the Stygian Waters at an altitude of 2,100 metres, or the Kalavryta Ski Centre, a mere 14 kilometers away.
