Pavilion in the garden
for concerts and theatre
Dear friends, our centre for music and culture
"Hellenikon Idyllion" at the northcoast of the Peloponnese offers
choirs and orchestras an ideal forum to prepare concerts or just to rehearse
intensively. In the flowering garden creative work can be combined with
recreation and international contacts.

The genuine greek village Selianitika with
its small taverns and traditional coffeeshops is placed at the coast between

lemontrees, palms and has lots of pitoresque cottages and villages.

The bungalows and flats with two or more beds
are provided with bathroom and kitchen. "Hellenikon Idyllion" offers
space for 70 people more people until 120 persons in the hotel nearby, Breakfast, lunch and dinner can either be prepared
individually or be taken in the tavern nearby.

Travel
We recommend to travel to Athens by plane. We
help you to organize your transport from the airport to Egion/Selianitika
(about 2 hrs.). If you go by car or bus you take the ferry boat from Ancona or
Bari/Italy to Patras/Greece.
Facilities for Rehearsing
In the wide and shadowy garden there is a Schimmel
Grand piano in a glaspavilion. Furthermore we can offer two big rooms
with pianos and many shadowy places in the garden
Due to a nice breeze from the
sea it will never be too hot. There are two stages for rehearsals, concerts,
dance, theatre and performances of any kind. Concerts in the surrounding countryside
for instance, in an antique theater, can be organized.
Surroundings
The famous antique places like Olympia,
Delphi, Mykene and Epidauros can easily be visited from Selianitika.
Mythological landscape and old greek monuments can be enjoyed. There
is also the possibility to relax in the garden or at the beach or to go for a
swim in the sea which is just in front of "Hellenikon Idyllion.
