A Dream
The journey began with a dream. It's a dream to escape the confines of city life and embrace the serenity of the countryside.
The first structure, conceived before the pandemic swept across the globe, was a testament to this vision. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the dream persisted, and Makarios emerged triumphant, a hope in uncertain times.
But Makarios is not content to rest on its laurels. When the owner cast his gaze upon a nearby hill, inspiration struck, and a bridge was born — a bridge to connect the realms of land and sea, of earth and sky.
Thus, the Makarios experience was elevated to new heights, offering guests a panoramic view of the surrounding beauty.

But it's not just the food that tantalizes the senses — it's the modern room set-up, the fast and reliable internet connection, and the little touches of comfort that make all the difference.
As the owner's daughter so eloquently put it, "We strive to offer our guests the best of nature, but at the end of the day, it's about providing the comfort they truly need."
