Kalamata

Easter Paradise in Messinia

 

Experience unique traditions in Kalamata, a destination that combines historical charm with natural beauty. With the “Xamonia” custom, we discover all Kalamata’s chapels and with the famous “Saitopolemos,” we live an “explosive” Easter. Relax in the cafes of the historic center, surrounded by neoclassical buildings and lively pedestrian streets. Explore the medieval castle, stand in awe in front of the imposing Cathedral of the Presentation of Christ with the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, and visit the Monastery of Kalograion, known for its famous scarves. Enjoy the walk along the beachfront promenade and dive into the refreshing waters of Verga beach.

 

 

Zakynthos

Discovering the Island of Wonders

 

 

A land rich in beauty and tradition generously offers unique experiences for the great spring holidays. Zakynthos promises a reverence Holy Week with its unique ecclesiastical music and a “delicious” Resurrection with the island’s traditional “sgatzeto,” an Easter soup. Embrace May in the lush traditional villages, on a bicycle or embarking in the tourist train, and board one of the boats that circle the island to enjoy its beauties, such as the famous Shipwreck Beach, the Blue Caves, Keri Caves, Marathonisi, and the stunning beaches of the eastern shore.

 

Halkidiki

Springtime Reverence and Renewal

 

Experience the ultimate reverence and springtime renewal of soul and body in beautiful Halkidiki. On the third peninsula, Byzantine chants from the monasteries of Mount Athos and the adorned Epitaphios in Ouranoupolis cast a veil of religious reverence, immersing us in the spirit of Resurrection. In Arnaia, locals dressed in traditional attire treat us to red eggs, pies, and tsoureki, while in Lakkoma, we engage in the traditional custom of egg fights. The mountainous, verdant villages invite us to the May “feast” of nature, and the warm rays of spring sun seduces us to the idyllic beaches of Kassandra and Sithonia.

 

Rhodes

An Island “Blooms” in Spring

 

 

The Island of the Sun and Knights dons its spring attire and welcomes us with unique Easter customs and flower-laden landscapes. We gather on Resurrection night around the “Kalafounos,” a large pile of wood ready to be lit to burn Judas. We clink our glasses over stuffed goat and traditional eggs. We seize every opportunity to seek out some of the medieval beauty in the Castle and the picturesque alleyways, to walk among blooming landscapes and historic monuments. We explore vistas with captivating views and succumb to the call of the azure sea and golden sands for the first long swims.
