Directly translated, ‘Kalo Riziko’ means ‘good roots’. But like so much Greek, it loses its depth and emphasis in translation. Still, this saying is one I have been dwelling on a lot in the last few months. It is a common phrase. We’ve heard it from our neighbours, from interested[...]

The season on Kos has finally ended and the cool nights have decided to join us after months of perfect summer. Although the days are still warm and the sun still shines the island has become quite and tranquil. The only rustlings are that of the olive harvesting. It has[...]

As many of you by now are aware, the fruits of spring did not arrive in a way we were expecting this year. It felt like everything that we were working to avoid came together at once and happened, with some devastating results. We made the decision not to open[...]

Personally my field of focus has been on plants this month. I have gone from growing herbs in backgarding to full scale landscaper and haven’t had too much thought outside of this scope. It hasn’t been a very easy task, off loading hundreds of trees, digging the holes and planting[...]

I love working in tourism. To me, it means working with people from all around the world who have come to a place to enjoy life and immerse themselves in new experiences, new cultures and new ideas. There are so many different sides to a resort, so many different things[…]

My life’s ethos has been to be environmentally conscious, environmentally responsible and environmentally friendly. I’ve been making sure that our resort is doing all it can to encompass, nurture and uphold a sense of environmental responsibility. Not only do we want to be environmentally responsible, we want our guests to[…]

February has come and without so much as a blink it has past. We are counting down the days now until we open our doors this summer. The last few years have been very significant for our whole family. We have all moved across the world, sold our long run[…]

After working and studying in corporate offices and the world of events management, I’ve developed a sharp eye and attention to detail. I know that it’s these finer touches that can really make or break an experience, or that can make the difference between a good experience and one that’s[…]

As a businessman I have had years of experience in providing innovative tourism, such as luxury rail cruises in South Africa with Shongololo Express. I expanded Shongololo from a single train running from Johannesburg to Cape Town into a total of three separate trains running their own unique trips throughout[…]

Having worked for over 10 years in Sydney’s highly competitive hospitality industry, I have managed award winning cafés catering to a range of customers from inner-city locals to up-market tourists. Working for so long in hospitality has turned me into a bit of a “foodie”, and ever since I’ve been[…]

Over the last decade I have had the good fortune to be able to travel through over 20 countries across Europe and Asia, and extensively through Greece. I spent 6 months backpacking throughout the mainland, and visiting as many islands as I could. Some very busy, others completely isolated. I[…]

2019 really started with a BANG. We received our first bookings, which for us is so reaffirming that so many interested people are just as excited as us by our concept and vision. Thank you to those who have already booked. Our manufacturing is well under way. We are itching[…]

Being small and family run, competing with the larger international chains of resorts on Kos was initially daunting. But Kos’ community continually remind us why we have come back to Greece, and why Kos is really something special. They helped us with water and electricity supply as we worked to[…]
