Former Castle Hotels in Elia Laconias

The hotel is a typical example of Mani architecture. The defensive fort complex of the historic Arapaki family was converted into a hotel of self-contained studios and apartments. The seafarer Petros Arapakis, who discovered the caves of Diros in 1884 and traveled around the world on the sailing ship Pandora, was born and lived there. Facilities include a four-storey tower, as well as a traditional windmill and olive oil press that have been converted into hotel rooms.
