With a brand identity bringing memories for the owners of this place, the new hotel, takes the name Aposperia, reminiscences family moments from the Karpathian tradition, while representing one of the most intimate actions of daily Karpathian life, the evening gatherings (αποσπερία).

On a rough topography in Katodio, 3 villas are designed in an amphitheatrical setting following the natural landscape while offering panoramic views to the sea. With a traditional architectural scale, the villas allow for outdoor spaces in between volumes while safeguarding each suite’s privacy. The volumes are carefully dressed in dark and whitewashed surfaces to peacefully blend with the natural landscape. Every villa has its own pool with direct access from the living room as well as a private courtyard, planted with local aromatic herbs that complete a memorable local experience. Large openings merge the indoor and outdoor spaces, while guests enjoy living within nature.
