Welcome to a sanctuary of serenity, where time dances at a slower pace and tranquility becomes a way of life. Our estate is a simple yet enchanting haven, located on the northeastern part of Paxos, near Lakka village. A true piece of paradise, away from crowds, it’s the perfect place to unwind, connect with nature, move your body and calm your mind.
A 2.4 hectares estate that consists of the old family house, a typical Paxiot structure dating from the 19th century and two recently built holiday villas with their own swimming pools. Our passion for olive-oil making comes alive in the nearby shed, home to our olive press. As you explore further, a breathtaking Yoga Shala awaits, overlooking the sea. We promise you’ll be blown away by the sight of it!
All of that, nestled amongst a peaceful olive grove with marvelous sunrise views.
Orkos Estate is our home and we want to share it with you. Trust us, the experience is not just a stay; it’s an invitation into our world. We offer all comforts to make you feel pampered and a beautiful setting to take things slow.
