Kinsterna Hotel
Monemvasia and the South East , Peloponnese, Greece
Overview
Introduction
This magnificent hotel, tucked away on a hillside 7 kms to the south of the famous rock and castle of Monemvasia, is surrounded by vineyards, olive and citrus groves, all watered by the ancient cistern from which the hotel takes its name. Supremely restored and converted from a Byzantine estate in 10 acres of land, the Kinsterna is one of the outstanding hotels of Greece.
The main body of the hotel possesses 27 luxurious rooms and suites, blending contemporary design with period features. All possess top quality queen or king-size beds, sat tv with film library, mini-bar, room safe, wifi internet access (laptops can be provided), luxury shower room and 24 hour room service. Many have sea views (some to Monemvasia Rock) but not all have balcony due to the historic nature of the building.
The hotel also has 9 new deluxe Residences. All are spacious and possess large private verandas with loungers and sea views. Garden and Master Residences have a separate living room. They are the ultimate in modern Greek luxury hotel accommodation! Further details and prices on request.
The centre-piece of the hotel is the ancient cistern, now a wonderful spot for a drink or meal from the hotel's gourmet restaurant. A champagne breakfast is also taken here, unless you prefer it served to your room.
The imaginatively designed river-like swimming pool is fed by spring water. Snacks and drinks from the pool bar are served on the pool terraces here. If all this gets too exhausting the hotel's spa offers a range of facilities and treatments.
Monemvasia and a choice of beaches are within a 10-15 minute drive. But for Caribbean-like sands head southeast for the islet of Elafonissos - ferries run very regularly and cheaply, and take just ten minutes.
Tailor-Made Kinsterna
Our holidays here can be very flexible. Kinsterna combines well with the Kyrimai Hotel in Mani (see previous page) and a split-centre holiday is easy to arrange. It is an approx. 2-2½ hour drive between the two. We can also include the hotel on any of our Peloponnese fly-drive itineraries.
If you would like a taste of Kinsterna, consider a short stay within your main holiday, perhaps to celebrate a special occasion. We can easily book you in for a couple of nights if you are staying in any of our resort areas on the Peloponnese, including Tolon, and have a car. Please ask for a costing.

Pavlopetri
Swim and snorkel above the oldest submerged town in the world… 5,000 years of history beneath you
Just offshore from the deepest part of the wild Mani region of the Southern Peloponnese (Greek mainland), a 2.5 hour drive from the city of Kalamata but only 12 km from the small mainland town of Neapoli, lies the oldest (5,000 years old) submerged town in the world - Pavlopetri.
Discovered in 1967 and subsequently explored and excavated, this underwater town dates from 2,800 BC but the remains which can still be seen are Mycenaean, from between 1680 BC and 1180 BC. Located in the Laconia prefecture of Greece, Pavlopetri was an important trading port, a centre for textiles and, from its location, it controlled the entire Laconian Gulf.
The submerged town, covering over two acres, lies 3m to 4 m beneath the waves, and between the tiny islet of Pavlopetri and the beach. You are not allowed to scuba dive there, but to snorkel is thrilling!
In 2019, Sunvil is once more featuring the beautiful island of Kythira (as air links to Athens are much improved) in the Ionian Sea just to the south of the Mani region. You will be able to hire a car on Kythira, take it across to Neapoli on the mainland on the ferry (1.5 hours) and drive the short distance (12 km) to swim or snorkel above Pavlopetri, returning to your island base after an overnight or two in the medieval, castled island of Monemvasia, linked to the mainland by a causeway
Kythira’s little satellite island, Antikythira, is where the world’s first computer, known as the Antikythira Device, was discovered by divers over 100 years ago; in ancient times, this was a busy sea-trade route between Sicily and Italy in the western Mediterranean and Turkey and Greece in the eastern Med. Doubtless the sea has many more secrets to reveal in this wonderful part of the ancient world!
