Our History
A journey through time, from the roots of Gerolimenas
until today's Kyrimi hospitality experience.
A journey through time, from the roots of Gerolimenas
until today's Kyrimi hospitality experience.
KYRIMI INN is located in the small village of Gerolimenas.
Together with the KYRIMAI hotel, which is right next to us, and before it was separated, they formed a single property that belonged to my parents.
I grew up here with my eight siblings. Compared to the surrounding villages and the rest of Greece, today's Gerolimenas is historically rather "modern". The first house was built by the Petrakakos family in the late 19th century.
KYRIMI INN incorporated old ruins with traditional construction, under the strict supervision and design of the renowned anthropologist and architect of Mani, Yannis Saitas, who is also known for the restoration of the traditional settlement of Vathia.
KYRIMI INN is an authentic stone structure, with each stone hand-carved by fourth-generation Mani craftsmen. Originally built as a summer home for us and our children, it was later licensed and converted into a small and unique Bed and Breakfast, now called KYRIMI INN.
During the day, accept Poseidon’s invitation to share the kingdom of the sea. Rest afterwards and feel the Sun god caressing your body and Zephyrus cooling you with his breeze. In the evening, let Dionysus lead you to the taverns of the area and the medieval Areopolis. Relax on your terrace with a glass of good wine, listening to your favorite music in the background. Rise to the ethereal notes and see at the end of the horizon where the blue sea meets the sky and the wave whispers “welcome”.
You are the reason we exist and we are always at your disposal. We invite you to stay with us and we will do our best to leave you with beautiful memories and a smile on your face.
