Kelia - Monemvasia Castle

A well preserved, traditional building where you will spend quiet, pleasant and, hopefully, unforgettable moments and was the place where renowned Greek poet Giannis Ritsos was born.

Since July 2011, following a thorough restoration, all the rooms, facilities and common areas created an elegant, plain yet fully functional guesthouse to provide warm and well-cared hospitality to visitors.

The hotel is arranged on two floors, without a lift. On the ground floor, apart from the reception, there is a comfortable lounge where you can sit and enjoy your drink.

All rooms feature traditional elements like beamed or wooden ceilings, stone walls, patios and most of them have views to the sea.

At the castle’s central cobblestone alley, you will find the guest house cellar, which is also the oldest local- products store in the castle. You can try local wines, homemade marzipan sweets and samousades (the Spartan version of baklavas, filled with almonds and sesame and flavoured with many spices, cinnamon, nutmeg), honey wine and tsipouro, as well as plenty of other local delicacies. Especially for the guests staying at “Kellia“, exclusive prices on all local products at producer’s prices are offered.

At Kelia, a pleasant stay, a majestic journey, a romantic dream, a total escape from the daily routine and most of all, a warm, hospitable feeling is guaranteed!
