Discover your perfect retreat
Welcome to the Garden of Paradise on Kos – Welcome to “Orea Ellas”
Our charming accommodations are nestled on the picturesque estate of Orea Ellas – a place many of our guests lovingly refer to as “the paradise of Kos.” Centrally located in the heart of the island, just beneath the traditional village of Zia and at the foot of the majestic Dikeos mountains, you'll find us in the peaceful village of Lagoudi, right below the idyllic village church. From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view across the island’s northern coastline and out to the Aegean Sea. More than just a place to stay – a place to feel, explore, and unwind Orea Ellas combines stylish holiday apartments with a cozy bistro café, an art gallery, and a small shop offering unique antiques, handcrafted jewelry, and local artwork. Scattered terraces on multiple levels, shaded by lemon, olive, and palm trees, invite you to relax and soak up the tranquility – a true oasis of calm. Your host, Christina Zenteli, artist and visionary, has spent over 35 years lovingly creating this magical place. Her artistic spirit is reflected in every corner.
