Pelasgos Hotel is an elegant stone building just before the entrance to Karytaina, the medieval village with the Frankish castle above the Alfeios river. It respects the architecture of the area while offering all modern comforts. Its name comes from Pelasgos, the mythical first king of Arcadia.

How to get here from Athens
Pelasgos Hotel is in Karytaina, about 2½ hours by car from Athens and the airport. There is no train in Arcadia and few buses, so the easiest way is a private transfer: your driver meets you at the airport, port or your hotel in Athens and brings you to the door – with stops on the way if you like.
