Green Complex

Built-in 2014, this Green Complex complies with all the principles of thermal insulation, and it is one of the best in Oreini Nafpaktia. Indeed, the strong point is that staying in Omalia Greek Village, you are almost the epicenter of the forest. I am overwhelmed by the green surroundings and the nice perfume of the fir trees.

Everything is arranged to spend enjoyable holidays: bar, cafe, restaurant, outdoor heated pool, gym, clinic, bikes, recreation hall with the internet, and indoor & outdoor playground.

How to reach from Athens and Nafpaktos

For travelers arriving in Athens in Greece, the journey to the mountainous village of Omalia offers a beautiful transition from urban energy to complete tranquility. But it’s important to note that you will need your own transportation, as this area is not easily accessible by public transport.

Begin by taking the Olympia Odos highway heading west toward Corinth and Patras. Continue until reaching the impressive Rio–Antirrio Bridge, which connects the Peloponnese to mainland Greece. After crossing the bridge, follow the signs to Nafpaktos, an ideal stop along the way, just 2.5 hours away from Athens.

Leaving Nafpaktos behind, the route heads toward Ano Chora and Kryoneria, where the landscape becomes increasingly mountainous and lush. The road winds through dense fir forests and scenic viewpoints, offering a completely different side of Greece. After about 1.5 hours of driving, you will reach the Greek Village "Kryoneria". The Omalia Village hotel is in the village centre.

 

 

During the day, you can rest by the pool; there's no need to rush. The pool area with its furniture and the open bar is a charming place, thanks to the large bay offering a wide view of the typical villas and the greenery around. We love the long chairs that allow you to peacefully sunbathe facing the pool.

The decoration of the place is very simple in style with pale shades and charming details.

Food

The restaurant with a view of the mountains offers local cuisine, which mainly contains meat and dairy. They mainly use local products from the region. In addition, there is a buffet breakfast each morning and a cafe area next to the recreation center (at the top) with breathtaking views! Just ask for the Greek Village menu.

For the Vegetarians and Vegans, please note that you can enjoy that kind of cuisine during the Lent season, which mainly includes the 40 days before Orthodox Easter and from 1st - 15th August. Alternatively, you can bring your own supplies and cook in the kitchen that is inside each room. Please note that there aren't any food supermarkets or markets in the surrounding area.
