In Palaia Episkopi, Tegea, a place that carries centuries of history, the Tegos Country Guest House welcomes the traveler with warmth and authenticity amid the serenity of Arcadian nature. The place name is directly connected to the guesthouse, since Tegea derives from the word «tegos» meaning roof. Tegos Country Guest House promises visitors a distinctive experience of relaxing accommodation and a journey back in time.
The simple and Doric architecture of the guesthouse is fully in harmony with the lush surrounding landscape, where scattered finds from the Archaic, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods are found. Just a breath away stands the impressive Holy Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, built on the ancient theater of Tegea, one of the most important monuments in the area.
The guesthouse offers six Deluxe double rooms and one Deluxe triple room with a king size bed. All furnishings are selected with particular attention to detail and with respect for the traditions of the region. In the rooms there are beds with orthopedic mattresses, heating and air conditioning, WiFi, a safe, a kettle and a Nespresso machine, as well as all the necessary toiletries in the bathroom.
The Deluxe triple room, with the large balcony and views of the ancient park of Alea, offers comfort, as it is ideal for families or couples seeking something more than a simple stay. The combination of warm décor, functionality and the calm of the surroundings creates the perfect space for relaxation after a day of sightseeing.
Tegea is a place with deep history and the Tegos Country Guest House is literally next to a living archaeological treasure. Starting from the guesthouse you can explore the sights of the area. The most important monument is the Holy Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos (Palaia Episkopi), within the lush park of Tegea, on the site where the ancient city once stood.
The Ancient Theater of Tegea is a monument that transports the visitor to the glorious era of the local theatrical tradition. A site of special historical significance is the Grove of Palaia Episkopi, as it was here that the idea of lighting the Olympic flame for the 1936 Games was first proposed. The Tegea Folklore Museum, housed in a traditional stone building, presents costumes, textiles, tools and everyday objects, offering a multifaceted picture of life in Arcadia. Close to the accommodation is the Archaeological Museum of Tegea, one of the oldest in the Peloponnese (since 1909), which tells the story of the birth and evolution of Tegea, the strongest city of ancient Arcadia.
With your stay at Tegos Country Guest House you have direct access to some of the most beautiful landscapes and sights across Arcadia.
