Our Garden
In Kamarotí we have tried to create the perfect environment for the contemplation of Mediterranean landscape. The setting of the hotel is a natural olive grove outlooking at the Aegean sea where sublime olive trees have been standing for generations.
In order to respect that atmosphere during the construction we have not touched any single one of them and we have built around them as we consider them the principal actors and definitely the treasure of this magnificent land.
Moreover, we have not planted any new olive tree so as to give all the importance to the existing ones. We have though planted over 2.000 specimens (fruit trees, bushes and shrubs) that will plunge you into a real Mediterranean garden with little or none need for irrigation.
