HOSPITALITY – ACTIVITIES

Apartments ESPERIDES was first established in 1986
as a family business.

• Hospitality

Our aim is to make our guests have an unforgettable holiday! As gifts, you will receive several of our local specialties such as, olive oil, traditional goods, sweets and bread from our rustic oven, which is at your service.

Also, feel free to get any of the green vegetables that we grow at our organic garden and use them to prepare a fresh and helthy meal!

• Marathopolis

What’s special about ESPERIDES is the walking distance to the Marathopolis market where every morning you can buy fresh fish (the catch of the day) directly from the fishermen’s boats. Then you can use the grill provided in the apartments and have yourself a great barbeque!

The visitor can take advantage of several options like restaurants, traditional fish taverns, cafeterias, internet-cafe, bars and clubs. Note that the super-market, bakery, news-store and the gasoline station, are staying open until late at night!

Furthermore, at the village of Marathopolis (Marathos) a new-built athletic center is located, with both a basketball court and a 5x5 soccer field, free of charge to the public. 

• Proti island

During the summer, special religious festivities are held in the honor of the church of Panagia Gorgopigi, on the island of Proti, which can be reached by boat. 

The isle of Proti was a base of operations for the pirates. As a result of this, it’s believed that there is a treasure hidden on the isle and the code is written in pirate language on a huge rock named “grameno”.
Moreover, you can spend a delightful day on this uninhabited island, having fun in a private, secluded and idyllic coast, below a rocky cliff, called Vourlia.
So, don’t forget to pack your picnic basket!

• Agrilis & Filiatra

Another “must” place to visit is the “Castle of Knights” at the Agrilis area! Here the children can enter the mythical world of the castle, beautifully decorated with the armors of knights, statues and fairy tale figures. Right next to that, you can find the Agrilis Mill.

Something that will attract your attention is the replica of the Eiffel Tower in Filiatra. It's really amazing!

• Camping "Proti"

The camping “Proti” is located within a walking distance of just 2-3 minutes. It offers a beautiful, large and clean swimming pool, ideally suited for children, with a great view to the isle of Proti! Among the facilities is a bar, a mini-market, basketball and tennis courts and a telephone service.
