This former waterfront wine factory on the Peloponnesian coast masterfully blends its rich history and industrial roots to create a luxurious beachfront escape.

Book

The historically industrial elements are contrasted with carefully engineered glass partitions and polished terrazzo floors. As a result, Dexamenes demonstrates a perfect blending of history with modern luxurious design. The rooms themselves follow the layouts of the wine tanks, creating a unique stay. In doing this, owner Nikos Karaflos has magically preserved history by transforming a once-derelict structure into one of the most attractive hotels in Greece.

The Details

What makes it Kobu

The visionary owner, alongside K-Studio, allowed the buildings themselves to dictate the overall palette. As a result, only elements that would compliment the beautifully brutalist aesthetic were used. This meant concrete, steel timber and engineered glass were the defining elements of the overall palette, through up cycling as many of these as possible.

Food at Dexamenes is another experience, in and of itself. Their culinary philosophy is guided by three elements; local, seasonal, and conscious. As a result, Dexamenes works with environmentally conscious young farmers, aiming to transform the way food is created, breaking away from the typically cruel mass market food industry. Guests here can enjoy the finest local menus, with ingredients sourced from the immediate area.
