In the House: The centre’s main building is a former family home set in the midst of gentle woodland in the Pelion Mountains where, according to legend, dwelt the fabulous centaurs, half-man half-horse. The building has been extensively renovated to cater for workshop groups–17 beds in six bedrooms, all with shared toilets and showers. The rooms in the house are simply furnished and have stone floors, which help to keep the space cool in the heat of the summer. There are spectacular views from the upper rooms where there are two double-bed rooms and two larger rooms, one with three beds and the other with four. On the lower floor is a twin room and a room for four. Separate from the main house is a small block, typically used as staff accommodation.
Camping: You can pitch your own tent or one belonging to the centre in our shaded tent area or in the woods–all served by a shower, sinks and toilet block.
Local Alternatives: Should you arrive a day or two early for your workshop, we may or may not be able to accommodate you at the centre, depending on whether the workshop taking place at the time is full or not. You may also wish to stay on at the centre for a few days after your workshop as a short-term guest, which is generally possible, unless the space is fully booked. Should we be unable to accommodate you on either side of your workshop booking, there are good local alternatives for all budgets.
Camping in Chorefto or Ag. Ioannis: If you have a tent and sleeping bag, there is a full-service camping site with chalets to rent near the Papa Nero beach at Ag. Ioannis. The extreme northern end of Chorefto beach is a naturist area and you can pitch your own tent there except during high season when the tourist police make the occasional symbolic clear-out, obliging everyone to pack up and leave for a day or two.
