The hotel’s design, fashioned akin to an amphitheater over five levels, accessible via 20 to 100 steps, grants most rooms breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Offering an intimate ambiance where details matter, guests bask in the tranquil sounds of waves and refreshing sea breezes, cocooned in their private sanctuary. The hotel’s legacy dates back to 1937 when Dimitris Leventis and his beloved wife, Alexandra, transformed their house and shop into a hostel, pioneering the “Leventis-hospitality” ethos. Evolving into a hotel by the 1950s, named Kentrikon after its prime location, it attracted visitors from Thessaloniki, Athens, and around the globe. In a parallel narrative, the nearby YMCA bolstered the region’s tourist allure, aiding its development. In 1987, Leventis’ sons, Konstantinos and Stamatis, expanded the premises by constructing bungalows above the main building, further enhancing the cherished legacy of Kentrikon Boutique Hotel. From cozy 17sq.m sanctuaries to expansive 90sq.m abodes, each space is thoughtfully designed, featuring earthy tones harmonized with touches of wood or stone, exuding an inviting ambiance.
Our guiding ethos echoes the founding principles instilled by Dimitris & Alexandra Leventis in 1937, resonating through the generations: a commitment to ensuring every guest feels the warmth and comfort of home within Pelion’s embrace.The hotel can be found in the heart of the village. It is built in five tiers in the shape of an amphitheatre with 20-100 stairs between each tier. It is located in a quiet part of the village, a mere 30 meters from Agios Ioannis beach, 500 meters from the picturesque and seldom-visited Plaka beach and 800 meters from the popular Papa-Nero beach.
