The Property
In a paradise - unseen till 20 years ago - which hid a sacred mountain covered with dense forests over fertile meadows and small rivers, we discovered one of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the Ionian sea. It is there where we have built the Gelina Village complex, which comprises the GELINA VILLAGE RESORT & spa, CORFU NOSTOS MARE Hotel, BASILIA Hotel and the HYDROPOLIS Water-park, plus 600 metres of sandy beach, 300 metres from the Acharavi village centre, 35 km from Corfu town.

The Country
Greece is the ideal destination for summer, winter, cultural and alternative tourism. CORFU (or KERKYRA) is the chosen island. A window to nature, a flight to adventure, a joy to discover. A wealth of fascinating villages, beautiful churches, historic monuments, museums, relics of the glorious past, natural beauty, festivities, clubbing, shopping, water galore, crystal clear seas, fun...



The Seascape
The PROPERTY is situated on a spectacularly beautiful coastline. It stands on the east part of the 8 kilometer long sandy beach of St. George's bay. At a short distance is the beautiful natural reserve of Lake Antinioti and the coast of St. Spyridon, ornated with tiny coves, rocky islets and small islands.





The Landscape
With the sea at the front, the hotel is framed at the back by the beautiful green mountain of Pantokrator ('he who dominates everything'). Mt. Pantokrator dominates the surrounding landscape and affords breathtaking views. At its peak is an interesting 14th century monastery.





The Villages
The PROPERTY lies in an area of ten villages which collectively form the Municipality of Thinalion, with Acharavi - the new thriving town and administrative centre - by the sea. The main traditional villages of the area, however, are not located by the sea, but have for centuries been hidden on Mount Pantokrator amidst sprawling olive-groves, which have provided a lasting source of wealth beyond tourism.

The largest communities are Episkepsi, Perithia and Nymphes. Still thriving, they still own much of the land along the coast. The picturesque villages have houses and churches which are more than 500 years old. Ano Perithia, the old Venetian feudal town of northeast Corfu, is now almost deserted and very impressive to visit.

It is structured in neighborhoods, summing up 15 major buildings (1400 to 4000 sq.meters) and a total of 442 fully equipped apartments and standard rooms (302 standard rooms, 100 2-room apartments, 4 3-room apartments and 32 major suites, ranging from 28 sq.m. .up to 67 sq.m. each.
