Boat excursions ..............................................................................................

Just 15–30 minutes by boat from the property, discover secluded coves, quiet beaches and tiny uninhabited islets scattered along the coast. Venture farther across the Pagasetic Gulf to explore the coast of Pelion (Prasouda, Alatas, Tzasteni, Agia Kyriaki), or visit Old Trikeri for a swim and fresh seafood by the water. Longer trips can take you to Skiathos, with its sandy beaches, turquoise waters and lively harbour town, or the greener and quieter Skopelos, where pine-covered hills descend to secluded beaches and coves.

Hikes ..............................................................................................

Explore the hills surrounding Mitzela on easy to moderate trails through olive groves and Mediterranean vegetation, with wide views across the sea and the green hills of the Pagasetic Gulf. Follow paths down toward small, secluded beaches for a swim along the way, or climb higher for panoramic views of the coastline.

Cultural visits ..............................................................................................

Explore the region’s history and culture with a visit to the New Monastery of Panagia Xenia, set in peaceful surroundings near Almyros, or travel into the mountains to the Old Monastery of Ano Xenia on Mount Othrys, with panoramic views across the landscape. Farther afield, visit the city of Volos and its Archaeological Museum, home to finds from the ancient settlements of Sesklo and Dimini.

Cooking classes ..............................................................................................

Learn the fundamentals of Greek cuisine with Maria Apostolou, our local cook, who specializes in traditional home-style dishes. For a different culinary experience, a professional chef from Athens can introduce you to techniques and flavors from Italian, French, and Central Asian cuisines. Whether you’re looking to master a specific dish or explore new flavors, each session is hands-on and tailored to your interests.

Yoga ..............................................................................................

Private or group yoga sessions can be arranged, from gentle stretching to a more active practice. Sessions take place outdoors, overlooking the sea, and can be adapted to different levels and preferences.

Live music ..............................................................................................

Local musicians can be arranged for an evening of live music, from traditional Greek folk to contemporary acoustic sets. Performances can be organized for gatherings, dinners, or simply an evening at the house.
