Limnisa - Looking East

Limnisa House with Aegina in the background.


Limnisa Centre is on a little headland 20 metres from the beach. You can literally live with your feet in the water. A perfect place for snorkelling to look at the colourful fish and volcanic rock formations. We have snorkelling equipment and wetsuits which guests are welcome to try.

Limnisa has got many terraces from where you can see the Saronic Gulf spread out all around; with five Islands including Aegina and Angistri, and the mountains of the Eastern Peloponnese with Epidavros nestling in their foothills.

The garden is dotted with tamarisk trees, orange trees, pines and shrubs, with only an old stone wall to separate it from the beach. Then it follows the line of the cliff, with rosemary, cistus and broom. A path leads to the next bay. There are plenty of sunny and shady places to sit on your own and reflect, write, paint or read a book; you can go to sleep in a hammock or enjoy good talks with others.




Limnisa is a secluded spot, but only 15 minute walk from Ag. Georgios - a little village with three tavernas and a harbour with fishing boats. A walk of 30 minutes along the picturesque road in the other direction takes you to Ag. Nikolaos, another small coastal village with tavernas on the sea front, and also a hot sulphur bath described by Pausanius nearly two thousand years ago. Or you can take a walk up the old mule paths above the centre, through a landscape of stone terraced slopes and old olive groves with views back down to the sea and out across to the islands.

Mariel is the facilitator at Limnisa Centre. She is a creative writer with short stories published in Holland, and a trained teacher. She started Limnisa two years ago with the idea to share this overwhelmingly beautiful place with 'like-minded' people - those who can appreciate the simplicity, purity and calmness of Methana and get inspired by it. Because of her international background Limnisa is developing into a meeting place for painters, sculptors, writers and musicians from different countries amongst which Holland, Great Britain, the United States, Greece and Italy.
