Spending Easter in Greece is a must for everyone’s bucket list. It can be a spiritual experience as well as a photogenic one as the locals observe the religious rituals representing the pathos of Christ to his resurrection on Holy Saturday Midnight.
You will explore cities in their finest moments shrouded in candle light. Easter Sunday is the centre piece of the Orthodox celebrations ending with a meat feast, red eggs and lamb on the spear.

The accommodation is located in an organic olive grove, near the historic city of Messolonghi, perched on the slope of a hill and surrounded by the verdant mountainsides of Arakynthos, enjoying a wonderful panoramic view. The hotel features a traditional taverna, outdoor bar, pool, space and sports equipment (basketball, volleyball, table tennis, archery, cycling).
This place offers you the chance to escape the chaos of the city in a tranquil natural environment. You will have plenty of time to relax and unwind but also time to do things together, to experience adventure, fun and entertainment.
There will be a fair amount of easy hiking and you will need to be able to get up hills, flights of stairs, and be ok with a certain level of heat. If you are carrying a camera bag full of equipment you will need to be ok with having this on your back for several hours at a time.
A camera is the obvious one, but also a tripod is a must. Having spare batteries and memory cards is also strongly advised.
No, you have to make your own way to the destination, but wherever possible we will meet you at the airport in Greece.
Yes. We always ensure you will be staying at the best accommodation possible in the area. This means it will be clean and well presented, although in the more remote locations may not be as fancy as in the cities.
All levels are welcome, from the novice to the seasoned professional.
