This eco-friendly tourism accommodation is surrounded by fields of olive groves and trees used to produce olive oil and wine. They also grow organic food<\/strong><\/a> on their farm, such as vegetables, fruits, milk, cheese, meat and eggs.<\/p>\n

Apart from enjoying naturally grown local products, the Chamaloni Cottages are a perfect place for<\/strong> yoga<\/strong> as well. This tourism accommodation allows its guests to practice soft and dynamic yoga on the terrace overlooking the sea.<\/p>\n

We have interviewed Georgia, the owner, to find out more about this place and what it has to offer.<\/p>\n

1. Why did you decide to open Chamaloni Cottages<\/em>?<\/h2>\n

\u00abWe have owned a 40 acres organic olive grove for years, and we decided to open Chamaloni Cottages to show other people the benefits of country life. We offer our guests the hospitality that Greeks are so well-known for<\/strong> and try to make them more sensitive towards ecology and nature\u2019s needs<\/strong>.\u00bb<\/p>\n

2. Which sustainable practices have you adopted?<\/h2>\n

Recycling<\/h3>\n

\u00abWe recycle more than 80% of waste and we also have compost that we use to fertilize our plants.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Organic production<\/h3>\n

\u00abWe have a small domestic production of organic fruits and vegetables that our visitors can taste. We also produce our own organic olive oil.\u00bb<\/p>\n

\"organic

Protecting nature<\/h3>\n

\u00abWe try to preserve the environment and the gardens around Chamaloni Cottages as natural as possible. We have a preference for stone paths instead of concrete. Moreover, we prefer plants and trees that can be planted naturally and do not need chemicals and fertilizers.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Traditional and vegan cuisine<\/h3>\n

\u00abWe offer authentic Greek cuisine, which is mostly vegan, providing an alternative option for people following a vegan lifestyle. It allows more people to enjoy the whole package.\u00bb<\/p>\n

\"homemade

3. What do your guests enjoy the most?<\/h2>\n

\u00abFrom their saying, our guests enjoy a combination of hospitality, positivity, comfort, calm and privacy<\/strong>. This has been the key for our success all these years.\u00bb<\/p>\n

4. Which itineraries do you recommend to your guests?<\/h2>\n

\u00abNear Chamaloni Cottages, there are many itineraries that allow our guests to enjoy Messinian nature. Some paths lead to virgin beaches, others to the mountains. They are not officially indicated, but Messinian nature is friendly and easy to explore, so there are no hidden dangers for those who are wise.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Some villages worth visiting are Koroni, Methoni, and Pylos.<\/p>\n

Koroni<\/h3>\n

With its impressing castle resembling a Venetian fortress<\/strong>, the seaside town of Koroni is worth a visit. Not only there are several archeological sites, but Koroni also offers magnificent views of the port and the sea.<\/p>\n

Methoni<\/h3>\n

Methoni is another Messinian village whose Venetian castle resembles an island<\/strong>.\u00a0In fact, the majestic archeological site is surrounded by the sea on its three sides.<\/p>\n

Moreover, visitors can explore the town of Methoni and look at gift shops selling handmade products, eat at a taverna, or have fun at the beach.<\/p>\n

Pylos<\/h3>\n

Located in South-Western Messinia, the seaside town of Pylos is a natural harbor<\/strong> due to its position offshore.<\/p>\n

Pylos is an important archeological site not only for the naval battle of Navarino but also because it was home to King Nestor. According to a legend, King Nestor used a cave to take shelter during the battle of Navarino. Today, Nestor’s Cave<\/strong> is a popular tourism site and rewards hikers with breathtaking views of Voidokilia Beach.<\/p>\n

5. Why is Chamaloni Cottages a perfect place for yoga and retreat?<\/h2>\n

\u00abLocated in the best place of our property, the yoga spot is surrounded by the garden and offers the best view<\/strong> of the Finikounda Gulf, especially at sunset. Moreover, a freshly prepared vegetarian dinner follows the yoga class in the evening.\u00bb<\/p>\n

6. What does it mean for you to be part of the Ecobnb community?<\/h2>\n

\u00abWell, we do not know yet. We hope that our plans, dreams, and way of thinking will meet your expectations and vice versa.
\nWe are sorry to admit that Greece is many steps behind when it comes to sustainability<\/strong>, so there are many things that we do wrong or could be done better, but our actions aim at\u00a0earth preservation<\/strong>.\u00bb<\/p>\n

So, if you want to recharge yourself from the chaotic life in the city, seize the opportunity to spend a holiday at this sustainable tourism accommodation<\/strong><\/a> !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
