OUR REVIEW

Almost at the tip of the Mani coast, a small bay with a few houses, some restored, some old and ready to improve (!). But at the end of this tiny bay, the end of the village is Kyrimai….built from stone in 1870 and restored in 2003 to be a magic oasis by the sea for those who would seek something fine and calm, with the sense of the area you have visited, but the style and comforts of luxury.
This is a place I would drive to, enjoying the magnificent scenery on the way and then settle in for a worthwhile amount of time. You too deserve this pleasure.

Public areas and rooms are all most attractive…when you arrive in a good place to stay perhaps you should feel that you have arrived somewhere by special invitation – you feel this at Kyrimai.

Breakfast is by the pool, in fact you dine by the pool on a fine day. There is shade if needed, or if the breeze or wind picks up, the solidly furnished dining room is there for you as are various areas to sit, relax, chat or even play pool.
Talking of pool the swimming pool is of good size and you can enjoy the luxurious feeling of swimming in a pool that is so close to the rocks and the sea.
The restaurant is a pride and joy for the area. The quality of your stay will be excellent in comfort, atmosphere and gastronomy.

Bedrooms and suites have fine beds, well-chosen furniture, substantial drapes and good bathrooms.
Some rooms have a small balcony or terrace and if you look down you are truly on the edge of the sea - waves appear to lap below at the edge of the building as if you were staying in a lighthouse.
This a rocky coastline - as the most dramatic ones are.


Gerolimenas and therefore Kyrimai, is on the same latitude as southern Sicily and the straits of Gibraltar.
Further down from Gerolimenas on the peninsula, in Porto Sternes is the temple of Tainarios Poseidon, and on the beach are the relics of the Asomatos church. Next to the church, you can visit Hades cave, where Poseidon was worshipped.
Also worth visiting is the Tainaro Cape, the tip of the peninsula, with one of the largest lighthouses in Greece.

SuperbGreece.com guest experiences of Kyrimai Hotel    [Click here to SHOW/HIDE]
Our trip was wonderful. We had 2 nights at the Kyrimai in Gerolimenas 29th/30th September. Everything was ready for us on arrival, the receptionist there is lovely. The hotel itself was spectacular, like staying in a mini castle and a beautiful location. The hotel restaurant where we dined on our first night and which provided us with our breakfast both mornings exceeded our expectations with some fantastic food and great service. We split our time between the peaceful poolside and a trip exploring the stunning coastline further down the peninsula. All in all a wonderful experience, nothing could have improved it other than being booked in to stay longer!
Louise Hickford
The visit went very well, the Hotel and location were superb. We hope to return in the near future.
Christine Briffa
The Kyrimai was quite delightful and its location is simply stunning. Again we were surprised at how relaxed and informal it was despite its luxury status (that's a good thing). We were told that the restaurant is an outstation of a Greek celebrity chef. He wasn't doing the cooking but had curated the menu. It was certainly delicious and imaginative ("normal" Greek food gets a bit samey after a couple of weeks) Whether it was worth 3 times as much as any other meal we had is a bit of a moot point! There is not a lot to do this far down the Mani and we were surprised how desolate the landscape was. All in all it was a good thing we only had 3 days there.
Nigel Banks
Everything was perfect. The hotel and staff were superb. Every hotel should have a dog like Tika, my girlfriend fell in love with her.
