Greece Diakopto Hotels

The traditional estate Semantron is an oasis of tranquility and elation, which brings to mind images of past times. The name Semantron came from the acoustic object used instead of a bell in monasteries. The monk sounds the semantron in a rhythmic way and its tone fills the holy place, summoning the monks for prayer. Semantron is located in the village of Eleonas in the Peloponnese, 11 Km from Aigion and 167 Km from Athens, near Kalavrita and Patras. Just 350m from the breathtaking beach of the village, outlooking the towering mountain of Helmos, and amidst a lush estate of 50.000 m2 with olive and orange groves, cypresses and planes, Semantron is the place of genuine hospitality and incomparable aesthetics. The natural beauty of the landscape is unique, as it combines the peace of the sea with the wild mountain charm.Mega Spileon Monastery The cells for contemplation and prayer of the monks at the Monastery of Mega Spileon were recently renovated to create rooms of various types and dimensions, which offer contemporary hospitality amenities, preserving at the same time the original architecture. Natural materials are dominant, like wood and stone, creating an amazing setting for visitors. The old olive oil press factory has inspired the creation of a restaurant of exquisite standards. The specially constructed conference centre of Semantron can host professional meetings, company presentations, small conferences and various business events. It is designed and equipped with super modern audiovisual systems, to enhance the overall quality of the facility. Semantron also has an animal farm and a biological garden, the products of which are used in the preparation of offered courses. In addition, an avant-garde adoption system of trees from the estate by its very guests will be applied very soon.

Foster parents will be able to enjoy various gifts of nature, and also be offered special reductions during their visits. The absolute peace of nature and the refined quality of services in a unique environment filled with history and images of everyday life, give Semantron an unparalleled charm that fascinates every visitor.
