The philosophy of the creation is for the resident of
this village to feel
the atmosphere of a village, to live and savor nature and, if he so
wishes, to
participate in rural approaches to daily activity without having to
forgo the
comforts of modern living. There, enjoyment of one’s personal space
does not
interfere with the potential to participate in social activities with
other
“villagers”.
The village’s name is "Seagull's Bay".
The name was inspired by
the beach which is embraced by seashell rocks and serves as a shelter
for
seagulls.
The region’s name is Kyparissos
and is full of herbs. It is believed that in
antiquity Hippocrates initiated his students at
Kyparissos following a
particular ritual.
In any case, one thing is certain: the locale
inspires
special sentiments.
At the construction phase, they paid particular attention to
maintenance,
protection and preservation of the natural environment and wild life.
For
example, all preexisting arkeuthos trees - a species of cedar that
thrives only
in Kos - were left intact. The architecture is in complete harmony with
the
environment proposing only to add a pleasant and cheerful note to the
landscape.
The village covers an area of 20.000 m² and is comprised of
three
“neighborhoods”, the Upper, Lower and Central neighborhood, that
include :
18 three-story lodges - each with its own garden
the hospitality hall
the
reception area
the restaurant
the bar
the tea bar
the boutique
the library
the day care center
the massage and aromatotheraphy facility
the swimming
pool
The ranch is in itself an additional special note to the
settlement and is open
to visits. It features a vineyard, domestic animals, fruit-bearing
trees and a
vegetable garden, all adhering to biological specifications.
All the produce is
of course delivered and used in the kitchen.
