About the Accommodation

Aris is a part of 3 bungalow property called Eftrapelia.Eftrapelia was created in 2004 after renovating an old building which is estimated to be more than 100 years old and replenishing it with new buildings. With love and respect to tradition and based on stone and wood, we created this multilevel set of ideas for the Cretan home. Visitors and guests are invited, on the occasion of the holidays, to meet the popular culture and to participate in educational and seminar programs. Therefore, education meets entertainment and ecology. “Eftrapelia” in the ancient Greek language means the play of the spirit. ” The smart man is the man who can channel humor into the company, or into the collective in general, so as not to “roll” into depression; dominant meaning. Aristotelis (Greek Philosopher) in “Ethical Nicomachia” parallels the euphoric man with the wise man. Later, in Attic times, it assumed its present significance, far from its native meaning. Starting with this original definition of Eftrapelia, we propose a new concept of vacations, combining leisure with health, culture and education. Many events can take place such as, Business meetings and congresses, Psychotherapy seminars, special nutrition seminars, anthropological theater, music-kinetic events, theatrical proportions, cinema screenings, health workshops, holistic medicine seminars and more.
