Days at Thalata
With a plan, or without one
Quiet or busy, as a family or on your own. Everything below is inside the estate unless we say so, and none of it is compulsory.
Explore & Adventure
The Mani starts at the gate: wind on the gulf, Taygetos behind us and villages of stone towers. We know the people who do these things well, and we'll set it up.
Windsurfing
Afternoon wind on the Laconian Gulf, with lessons if it's your first time.
Hiking on Taygetos
From an easy morning path to a full day on the mountain, with a local guide.
Fishing
Out at six with a local fisherman, back in time for breakfast.
Discovering the Mani
Areopoli, Vathia, Limeni and the Diros caves, on your own or with a guide.
Stay & Unwind
Do very little, very well. The pool, the beach and two places to eat and drink, all a few steps from your suite.
The pool
Open every day from 09:00 to 19:30, with a certified lifeguard. At 19:30 it changes face and becomes the lounge.
Mavrovouni beach
A stretch of sand kept for our guests, with loungers, umbrellas and the water a few steps away. In the evening the furniture comes in, because the turtles nest here.
The pool bar
Coffee, fresh juice and cocktails all day, with light snacks, meze and a small tsipouro from 11:00.
The restaurant
Greek dishes and an all-Greek wine list. On clear evenings the tables go out on the terrace, a few steps above the sand.
Little Explorers
Children get their own Thalata: a corner under the big tamarisk, the Junior Rangers, a shallow sandy beach and people who like having them around.
Things to do
Making things, stories about the sea, horses and turtles, and games under the big tamarisk.
Junior Rangers
Six quests with conservation volunteers, a passport to stamp and a diploma to take home.
See more →Playing
A shallow sandy beach, the lifeguarded pool and room to run, with no cars inside the estate.
Childcare
Our team can look after the children for a few hours, so the grown-ups get some time of their own. Ask at reception.
Wayfinder
Use your Wayfinder
to find the right experience for you. Two taps, and we'll point you to where your days should start.

The Caretta-Caretta
Sea turtles on our beach
Every summer the Caretta-Caretta nest on Mavrovouni beach. See what that means for your stay, and how we look after them.
The nesting season
She comes back
A female returns to nest on the shores where she was born, often after decades at sea. On a quiet summer night she hauls herself up the sand.
