• Starting from a small white chapel, we descend a cobbled path into the Natura protected oak forest. Submerge yourself in the scent of fresh thyme and oregano- Wild anemones, old windmills, traditional fonts and dry-stone walls conspire to make Poseidon’s Nereids dance among us.
• Explore the old threshing floor or rest under the huge oak trees. Wherever you may turn your eyesight meets with the Aegean Sea.
• The trail ends at the beach setting your heart on a dive into the crystal water.
• Explore the sandy ruins of Athena’s Temple and relax into the bright blue sea or under your shadowy private tent. Watermelon, wild cherries, juicy peaches and sips of wonderful whites immerse you in the taste of the Greek summer.
• If you wish to stay longer in this private coastal paradise, you can taste stunning Kean cuisine just where you are. Otherwise, an old-time-classic little taverna or restaurant under mulberry trees awaits you at the fairytale-like hamlet of Ioulida. Loza (the kean prosciutto), rabbit in beer, fresh seafood or shrimp pasta? The choice is yours.

Tip: Before you leave Tzia, our friends -local producers and craftsmen- have prepared farewell gifts for you and your beloved ones. Try the local sesame bars, the traditional liquors and the oak biscuits, or let your children explore the beehives and taste the Kean thyme honey.

Greece has a typical Mediterranean climate, which lends itself to mild and often wet winters and dry summers. The country is mostly sunny throughout the year.

Spring is pleasant and sunny in most of the country. The days with some rainfall become less and less frequent. Temperatures are gradually warming up but light layers are still recommended for the cooler nights.

Summer in Greece is hot and sunny. The Meltemi, a northerly wind typical of the warmest months (July and August), often blows, making the hot days smoother. Pack a bathing suit and lighter clothing, especially if you’re visiting Greece during the peak months of July and August.

Fall is warm, making it a great time to visit. Similarly to summer, bring lighter clothing, a swimsuit, and good sunscreen. If you visit later in the season, a sweater will be useful for increasingly chilly nights.
