Getting around the area
Korogonas Ark is based at the small paradise of the tranquil "Korogonas" plateau in Southern Lakonia, Peloponnese, Greece, near Papadianika and Plytra villages, with numerous pure beaches in the neighbourhood, connection with the full trajectory of the sun, from sunrise to sunset, picturesque low hills to the North and broad view towards the blue sea towards the South. Sublime atmospheric sunrise experiences at Monemvasia medieval castle city are only 35 min away by car. Monemvasia boulder and its hidden castle city have been inspiring its visitors for centuries. It has been Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited castle town, a unique place to explore, walk, feel the air and the ambience of its miraculous past. The Talanta water mills, 15 min by car, is a place of rich tradition and diverse eco-systems. Elafonissos is the exotic sand island everyone visits and Pavlopetri one of the most important underwater archaeological heritage ruins of the planet. Neapoli is a good reference of Cyclades islands and Pantanassa village, on the slopes of the ending backbone of Parnassos mountain, offers a breathtaking view to the blue sea up to Kythira island and even more to the South when the horizon is clear. Plytra and Bozas are paradise for people who love sandy beaches. The majestic, masculine, Taygetos mountain, 1h by car, offers great mountain paths, springs and divine views up to Olympus mountain from its top. Mystras medieval castle and city is another historic jewel of Laconia prefecture.

The space
The bioclimatic and artistic character of every space in Korogonas Ark emits what is needed by every human soul so to find comfort, trust, beauty and connection with Nature and the Self. The spaces have been constructed with local stones, rocks, wood and straw-clay techniques with natural plastering. Every bed is wooden and hand-made with special mattresses of natural materials by Coco-mat. Guests are invited to experience the whole land, its diverse trees, i.e. olive, eucalyptus, carob, nut trees, fruit trees etc., the vegetable gardens, the 'holy' olive hill, the circle of pomegranate trees, the 'Princess', 'Prince', 'Wisdom', 'Four Graces' wild olive trees, the olive grove of Dreams. Guests have access to the main building of the Ark upon invitation by the hosts, where there are singing bowls, a piano and two harps, an Indian flute and a great variety of books on self-awareness, philosophy, poetry, art. There is an on-going exchange book bazaar as well where people are invited to get a book for free and donate a book which they do not need anymore. Smoking, mind-altering substances, alcohol do not exist in Korogonas Ark land of peace.
The kitchen
In the guest spaces there is a sink and the possibility of preparing hot beverages (i.e. herbal teas) and soups with a kitchen fire stove. Apart from the above amenities, in one of the spaces there is also a counter to chop vegetables and prepare plant-based meals, and a refrigerator. In the whole Korogonas Ark's land there is no exploitation of the animal kingdom whatsoever. Also there are no products of violence and injustice, no animal products' consumption, no sugar, no chemicals, no processed foods. We invite and encourage visitors and guests to experience plant-based meals & beverages and explore the enormous possibilities, health benefits, energy boosting, beauty, art and high taste of plant-based organic cuisine. Depending on the needs of both sides, we either prepare food for the visitors/guests or they prepare it on their own. Guests are also encouraged to purchase Korogonas Ark's pure products (i.e. herbs, wild olive oil, domesticated olive oil, olives, carobs, lemons etc.) and use them when preparing their meals. We might also share meals, whenever possible.
Other things to note
Parking is extremely easy and free. Internet connection is always strong. Visitors and guests take care of their own internet package service with their own devices, according to their needs. Five dogs and two cars live in the property. All of them live outside the buildings of the Ark. The place is characterised by its peacefulness, pure/gentle aromas by the plants and Nature's authentic manifestation. Crystal clear starry night skies are of sublime and metaphysical beauty. Bird songs, the sound of the sea waves/wash on specific days, according to the wind, bring every visitor in closer connection with Nature's cycles.

Regarding companion animals only male tranquil dogs are allowed and only after discussing the case with the hosts, so as to finalise the permission.

Shoes are not welcome in any building/construction apart from the Mani Douche where people are allowed to use their flip-flops.

[Reishi mushroom powder and beneficial 'coffee' alternatives are highly recommended, instead of coffee.] --> Visitors, guests, participants are kindly requested to align with the values of this land of peace and bring with them only bio/organic products for their personal hygiene and cleaning (i.e. soaps, douche, liquids, skin creams, toothpastes, sun protection etc.) In the case that you find any difficulty to bring such pure products with you, please note that Korogonas Ark is a place where you could make a purchase according to your needs. --> Our toilets (two) are only compost toilets in separate constructions outside the room (+one in the main building of the Ark), since the whole Korogonas Ark project serves resilience, low eco-print, natural fertilising for our vegetable gardens & trees and regeneration of the Earth. --> There are three douche areas in the land for the visitors: one, which is called 'Mani Douche' with two showers, outside the room one inside the main building of the Ark, one, quite exotic, which is called 'Carob Douche' with a shower within carob trees.
