VILLA KORE ELAFONISSI

The stone, the water, the mountain, the sea, the rock , the cliff, the wind talking in tongues among the olive trees, telling old tales of heroes and gods, of labyrinths, of Minotaurs and other monstrous creatures, of powerful demigod kings, of forbidden loves, of pirates, and lost submerged continents. The silence, the peace , the banana trees, the beach, the waves, the sand , the sunsets , the moons on the sea, the freshly laid eggs, the goats and the lambs, the butterflies , the gold fish in the fountain , the wild thyme, the strawberry tree, the mediterranean heather and their honey, the grapes, the ouzo, the raki, the wine , the salt from the sea, the extra virgin olive oil. The sundial slowly drawing the hours, the home made cheese, the wilderness, the comfort , the coziness, the liveliness and the idleness, a total relax in the sun, in the history, in the myths , in the nature , in the cradle of the Western civilisation. And again, and always, and everywhere , and forever the sea.

I have known the darkness of Hades, I have tasted the seeds of the pomegranate thus recovering my name: Persephone the Dreadful Silent Lady of the Kingdom of The Dead Only after passing through the threshold of darkness and after crossing the world of the shadows I may reascend to the light holding in my hands the sacred pomegranate the symbol of the eternal coming back About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 18.About events:No events allowed.
