Semantron Traditional Village

The traditional estate Semantron is an oasis of tranquility and elation, which brings to mind images of past times. The name Semantron came from the acoustic object used instead of a bell in monasteries. The monk sounds the semantron in a rhythmic way and its tone fills the holy place, summoning the monks for prayer. Semantron is located in the village of Eleonas in the Peloponnese, 11 Km from Aigion and 167 Km from Athens near Kalavrita and Patras. Just 350m from the breathtaking beach of the village, outlooking the towering mountain of Helmos, and amidst a lush estate of 50.000 sqm with olive and orange groves, cypresses and planes, Semantron is the place of genuine hospitality and incomparable aesthetics. The natural beauty of the landscape is unique, as it combines the peace of the sea with the wild mountain charm.Mega Spileon Monastery The cells for contemplation and prayer of the monks at the Monastery of Mega Spileon were recently renovated to create rooms of various types and dimensions, which offer contemporary hospitality amenities, preserving at the same time the original architecture.
