Kellia

Kellia

"Peloponnese is not just a destination it is the stage where poetry meets the stone silence of the Castle, and Kellia is your ode to ultimate serenity and history."
At the Poet's Hearth

In the heart of the Monemvasia Castle,  Kellia Guesthouse is housed in a listed building of immense cultural significance. This is where the Great Greek poet Yannis Ritsos first gazed upon his "stone ship."

Situated in a spot that offers magical silence and views of the Myrtoan Sea  waves besieging the rock, it is the ultimate sanctuary for history and literature lovers.

Organic Gastronomy & Living History

The Concept : Traditional hospitality in rooms with wooden beams and stone walls that exude charm and tranquility. An authentic stay in a monument-building.

The Highlight : The Organic Breakfast. Products (oranges, olive oil, honey, eggs) come from the guesthouse's own certified farm in Soraka. Don't miss the "Byzantine Dakos" and the local "Lalagides."

Vibe : Romance, spirituality, and warm hospitality, perfectly complemented by a glass of chilled white wine under the shade of the mulberry tree at dusk.

THE 3-DAY POETIC CASTLE ITINERARY

Day 1 | Arrival at Ritsos' Birthplace : Settle into your room and explore the historic premises. In the afternoon, enjoy your wine under the mulberry tree, gazing at the Myrtoan horizon.

Day 2 | Flavors & Heritage : Start with an organic breakfast from the family farm. Visit "Kelari" on the main cobblestone street (the oldest shop in the Castle) for a local wine tasting and "samousades" at special guest prices.

Day 3 | A Journey of the Senses : Take a final walk along the castle walls and churches. Stock up on almond sweets (amygdalota) from Kelari before departing, taking a piece of "Romiosini" with you.

Hidden Secrets

Make sure to visit our "Kelari" shop on the main street to taste the rare "melokraso" (honey-wine) and get some "samousades" (the local version of baklava). It is the best way to carry the essence of Monemvasia back home.

"Don’t just visit the Peloponnese  become part of its legend, starting your journey from the historic Kellia Guesthouse in Monemvasia."
