In Xirokambi
The TALETON is a thirty-bed, first class hotel. It has three rooms and seven two-storey suites each with a sitting area, fireplace, fully-equipped bathroom, telephone, access to the Internet, satellite television, mini-bar and safe.

TALETON, the highest peak of Mount Taygetos, lends its name to this traditional inn which reveres the land and respects its traditions.  Winter and summer, ventilation, heating and cooling are effected through a bio-climatic system (roof-top ventilation, geothermal heating). The garden with its flowers, trees, shrubs and beautiful fountain is irrigated using rainwater, collected in an underground cistern.  Guests can enjoy a well-provisioned organic breakfast buffet in the breakfast room, close to both the courtyard and the sitting room with its fireplace and bar.
Accommodation for participants of our workshops is 60 euro per person per night on basis of a two-storey suite shared by 2 persons. Price includes breakfast and taxes. For participants of the 4- and 6-day workshops, these hotel costs are already included.
The Taleton opened its doors in May 2009 and is located 350 meters from our workshop accommodation.
