atching the rocks rising from the road, above the beach, the icon of a monastery closed off from the outside world, and through the narrow hatches gazing at the gulf and the small port of Naoussa, was drawn instinctively in my mind.
However, through the serenity of the soul and of the lifestyle of the monks, I had to go over to the harmonic coexistence of amenities and entertainment, with the austere atmosphere.
The escape exits would be the doors to verandas or terraces, for enjoying the view and the sun, without affecting the dignity of the premise.
The props (Antirides) would need to be securely holding the premise on the rocks and embracing it with tenderness…That was the concept of the owner- architect Ioannis Daskalopoulos, when he created Antirides.
A luxury hotel of exceptional aesthetics, where you can observe for hours the architectural details that constantly come into view, ready for the game of shadow and light.
Bronze inscriptions carved on marble thresholds predispose you for the exquisite interior spaces that await you, such as EORTINO, PIKILI STOA, KATHIMERINO, AERINI STOA, which are few of them.
At the exterior areas NAVAGIO, ERIPIO, PIGADI, the imposing and serene skill and art of the monasteries are brought out.
So, set off for your wondering around Antirides!!!!
