About Us

Dear visitors,

welcome to the most "green" guesthouse in Arcadia and one of the few energy class A in Greece.

Guesthouse Gortis opened its doors in August 2011, in an old family mansion of 1900’s, in the heart of Elliniko Village.

The two buildings, the main house and the old stables were renovated exemplary, with love and respect to their traditional identity, and transformed in a boutique guest house for all seasons.

Surrounded by a landscaped anxiolytic garden, with a backdrop of mountain slopes and within walking distance from the gorge of Lucius and other villages-area attractions, offers the ideal base to explore the delights of Gortynia and Arcadia.

Behind the stone walls, the dark wooden shutters and the tiled roofs, we have created a unique acoomodation option that exudes elegance and authentic village atmosphere and has made provision for all needs and desires.

With hospitality as our guide, we welcome you to live your dream holiday with us.
