Welcome to Arcadia, the birthplace of Hermes and Pan; a fascinating region described in the Iliad and in the writings of Herodotus. This enchanting land has not only inspired artists of the Renaissance, but also recent ones, like Gauguin, Cézanne and Matisse. Philosophers like Schiller and Nietzsche and the writer Goethe have also succumbed to the area’s charms, while narrations of Arcadia’s unique landscape have made their way into opera and prose. Indeed, there is a special ambience in Arcadia, one that you have to experience for yourself –using Abeliona Retreat as your starting point.
