Ilia – A land of light, tradition, and fruitful soil
In the western Peloponnese, in the municipal district of Agios Ilias, Pyrgos, nestled within an 8.5-acre organic olive grove with unobstructed views of the Ionian Sea, we created Terra Ionian — a peaceful retreat, far from the noise of daily life, where nature, cultivation, and hospitality coexist in perfect harmony.
Here, centuries-old traditions meet modern sustainability, while major sites of global historical and cultural heritage are just a step away from your door: Ancient Olympia, Ancient Ilida, the Venetian Castle of Chlemoutsi near Kyllini, the Temple of Apollo Epicurius, the Byzantine Monastery of Skafidia, and the Monastery of Panagia Kremasti. The location of Terra Ionian offers an authentic experience between land, culture, and the luminous landscape of Western Greece.
Beaches
The western coast of Ilia is embraced by the Ionian Sea and offers endless sandy beaches with shallow, crystal-clear waters. From Kyllini to Lake Kaiafas, vast stretches of golden coastline and untamed coves invite you to carefree holidays and moments of deep relaxation. Just a short drive from Terra Ionian, Kourouta Beach is an ideal spot for swimming, dining, and unwinding by the sea.
Nature
Agios Ilias is surrounded by serene natural beauty. The landscape around Terra Ionian is lined with olive trees, vineyards, and superfood crops, offering guests a chance to reconnect with the rhythms of the land. Gentle walking paths, nature strolls, and sunset views create moments of meaningful connection with the environment.
History
The area surrounding Terra Ionian is deeply intertwined with history. Two emblematic archaeological sites dominate the region: Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, and Ancient Ilida, the city that organized them. This land carries the memory of the past through its temples, theaters, and timeless stories that continue to inspire.
Culture
The culture of Ilia is rooted in the land, hospitality, and everyday life. Local festivals, culinary traditions, live music, and community gatherings reveal the true soul of the Peloponnese. Here, simplicity and quality come together in a warm, communal spirit and a timeless cultural rhythm.
