Info for your own retreat orginization
If you are looking for a quiet place in nature to organize your own retreat, Skiaxtro Eco Farm is here and waiting for you! The estate is located in Marathopoli Messinia, a coastal village between Kyparissia and Pylos, 270 km from Athens, 130 from Patras and 45 from Kalamata. It is an olive grove of 4,3 acres, 200 meters from the sea and 500 meters from the village. Quiet and peaceful environment, with absolute privacy, suitable for yoga retreats or other events for small groups.
At the farm, accommodation takes place in five large Bell Tent-type tents, each 5 meters in diameter, fully equipped (mattresses, electricity, lighting, fans, blankets, sheets, towels, mosquito nets).
Each tent is comfortable enough to accommodate two to three persons, or even four. The setup is arranged according to your prefferences. The tents can accommodate up to about 15 persons in total.
There is also a small wooden hat where one or two persons can be accommodated. 14 persons is the ideal maximum capacity for optimal comfort, a slightly larger number of guests is not prohibitive however.
There are three toilets with showers and hot water, as well as two outside showers.
There is an outdoor kitchen as well as an internal space with refrigerators, kitchen items and utensils.
Outdoors many beautiful corners are set up for relaxation (sitting areas, hammocks, lounges outside tents etc.).
There is a wooden platform under the pine trees 6x12m (72sqm) and a four meter dining table with benches close to it.
When a group books the estate for a retreat essentially the whole area is reserved for themselves. The presence of the owner and any possible collaborators will be discreet and remote.
Regarding the diet, we can provide homemade, traditional Mediterranean cuisine meals with our own extra virgin olive oil, with vegetables from our vegetable garden and eggs from our hens (always depending on the season and the availability of the products).
