IONIAN
WELCOME TO PALEROS BAY & THE LITTLE IONIAN
Crystal clear waters and pure natural beauty are the symbols of the Ionian Sea. The sea was named after Io who, according to Greek mythology, was a priestess of the goddess Hera. Io had an affair with Zeus, king of the gods and Hera’s husband. When Hera learned of the affair she transformed Io into a cow. Io fled around Europe trying to escape Hera’s wrath. Finally, Io plunged into the sea, which was named Ionian, after her.

PEFFECT SAILING SPOT
It is hard to imagine a more perfect sailing and cruising area. In the summer the wind picks up at midday, blows throughout the afternoon and disappears at sunset. This enables sailors to enjoy a good night’s sleep without worrying about the anchor slipping. The perfect morning calm lets sailboats motor northwards against the prevailing wind and gives yachts and speed boats the opportunity to safely cruise around the beautiful Ionian waters.

ANCIENT PALEROS Ancient Paleros is a place of unrivaled beauty and grace, situated high in the mountains overlooking the Ionian sea and Vourkaria lake. The city had a population of over 10.000 people and was the location of one of the most important battles of antiquity. At nearby Aktio, Antony and Cleopatra were defeated in a sea battle by Octavius, who built the city of Nikopolis to commemorate his victory and moved the population of Paleros to his new city in 31 B.C. 94

GASTRONOMY ENJOY THE GENUINE FLAVOUR OF THE SIMPLE FRESH FOOD. Paleros cuisine is full of flavour and variety based on what is now known as the Mediterranean diet. Fresh fish from Paleros Bay, fruit and vegetables from organic gardens, meat from animals raised in a natural environment and extra virgin olive oil make up this healthy diet. The Mediterranean diet is a gastronomic delight that leaves your taste buds wanting more. Imaginative dishes together with the more traditional cuisine are always close by.

LOCAL FOOD SOURCING. From the local farms to the consumer’s table
Βoth in terms of health and taste, promoting the benefits of sustainable nutrition amongst our guests, is one of our most important priorities. We advocate local products, we source our food from small family farms and controlled fishing. Our basket is filled daily with the freshest products available and with great care they are turned into wonderful plates. Organic, local and fair-trade.

TRUST THE PEOPLE IN THE REGION. They know best. In a region that seems frozen in time, the company has become as one with its inhabitants. It incorporates them into its workforce so that they can teach us. With a sense of responsibility towards future generations and with an awareness of everybody’s potential, the company organises its operation based on this premise. Mutual understanding, peace and security are achieved through shared cultural values, acceptance of diversity and the importance of heritage. We hope to educate our guests by collaborating with local organisations, committing to protect the natural environment and by promoting both bio-agriculture and bio-tourism. People in Paleros will welcome you with their natural sense of hospitality, a virtue that has made Greece such a popular tourist destination over the years. In ancient times, Zeus, who was the God of hospitality, still lives in their hearts.

BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE.
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION.
The use of the sustainable energy sources, provided by nature, to create a high standard of living with a low environmental footprint. Returning to the basics of traditional local housing, practices were taken into consideration during the stages of design, in order to minimise the energy consumption and airconditioning. This is achieved by using plenty of natural light inside the suites adjusted by black out shades, individual deep shaded exterior spaces and natural air flow through the suites.
Gardens are created with native plants, therefore, they acclimatise to the local conditions, allowing them to live in their natural environment and reducing their need for excessive human intervention. Bee-attracting flowers ensure the continuous pollination of species and secures the habitat of the bees, vital for the preservation of ecological balance and biodiversity in nature.
