Byzantine Estate
The Byzantine Estate is where it all began. The first mansion was constructed as recently as the early seventies, but all of its building materials – pieces of wood, stones, roof tiles, beams, doors, terracotta floor tiles – are items from a much further past. They were selected with the greatest care so as to fit naturally into the tranquillity and wild beauty of the surrounding landscape. It is hard to believe that the mansion hasn’t been there forever.
The Byzantine Estate has at its centre a small museum, which, almost casually, displays priceless works of Byzantine art, creating an atmosphere of mystery and religious tranquillity. Next to it is the Mystras Hall, more spacious and with large windows allowing guests to wander into the gardens.
Half hidden under the ground, but also with large windows opening up to the gardens, lie the three Monemvasia Halls, generous both in terms of space as well as atmosphere, and as suitable for the most serious professional events as for the most joyous celebrations.
Tucked away in the oldest part of the mansion, the Marmaras Lounge with the adjacent Methoni Room and the Morias Dining Room. These are perhaps the most atmospheric, and certainly the most intimate spaces of the entire estate, filled with treasures from George Nasioutzik’s personal collection. Even the smallest object has been selected with passion and displayed with care. Precious porcelain, authentic furniture and antique books and icons create a setting of rare aesthetic value for your events.
And nearly invisible under a roof of greenery lies Meghisti, the largest convention hall of the estate, especially designed for large-scale events, such as conferences, concerts and parties. The combination of wood, antiques, art and the tent-like ceiling create a warm atmosphere, which you rarely experience in large convention halls.
