The search for authenticity is a very real and often tangible endeavour. Thankfully, in Greece, that search proves to be short. And particularly in a town called Monemvasia in the Peloponnese – a place where the rugged mountainscape intertwines with rolling hills and stone facades in a never ending ebb and flow of history and myth. Amidst its rustic charm, you’ll find Kinsterna Hotel. Built a few centuries ago and renovated faithfully, it is a true timewarp for couples seeking an enchanting setting for their Peloponnese honeymoon in Greece.
Somewhere between the orchards and gardens you may just find another layer of meaning to your love story.
Autumn Experiences For Couples
And in Autumn especially, you’ll get the chance to see why Kinsterna comes into its own. The estate’s golden-hued landscape offers a romantic and serene escape, with crisp air and peaceful surroundings where couples can immerse themselves in the local culture. The weather is beautifully mild and the outdoors are calling.
There are several seasonal things to get involved in, such as traditional Tsipouro distillation or Olive harvesting and production. Don’t miss the Autumn Getaway Deal that lets you in on these two unique happenings that occur only during this time of year. Autumn is definitely one of the best times of the year for soulful holidaying without the crowds, precisely what couples want from their Peloponnese honeymoon in Greece.
Immerse into The Meaningful Way of Life at Kinsterna
A stay at Kinsterna Hotel comes with a host of immersive experiences that are an open invitation for you to connect with the estate’s rich heritage and natural surroundings. Get started with a tour of the grounds, where you can journey through time, exploring the mansion’s unique architecture, learning about its previous owners, and marvelling at its restoration, while the library showcases the original land contract and photos from its past.
Take your pick from our curated list of authentic, local activities and make a schedule for yourselves. Wake up on the first day of your Peloponnese honeymoon in Greece with a garden stroll, maybe even taste fresh produce from the orchards if they are ripe. What about adding an extra touch of fairy dust, with a traditional horse carriage ride that lets you admire the mansion and its scenic views. Feeling more adventurous? Explore the countryside on horseback with rides tailored for all skill levels.
You can participate in the various gastro-activities, such as kneading country bread in a traditional manner, baking in the old stone oven and tasting while it’s still hot. Couples must not miss the sweetness of the honey tasting experience that takes place near Kinsterna’s buzzing bee hives, while you can also observe the honey harvest. There, you’ll sample the floral flavours of locally produced honey and learn all about authentic Greek honeys. Each of these experiences offers a unique way to immerse yourself in the history, traditions, and natural beauty of this serene destination.
Find Your Home-Before-Your-Home at Kinsterna Pool Villa
Your honeymoon will, if not delayed well after the wedding, be the first time you share a space as spouses. So treat yourself and your significant other. Go for the luxury home experience and feel what it’s like to live in your own private little mansion, in the heart of the Greek countryside, away from the rest of the world. For the perfect Peloponnese honeymoon in Greece, we recommend staying at the incomparable, Kinsterna Pool Villa.
It provides an ideal blend of modern design and traditional architecture – an exclusive retreat in the heart of Kinsterna’s serene gardens, boasting two levels, ample terraces, and a shared pool. The Pool Villa is ideal for tucking away after a day of exploring Monemvasia or partaking in the immersive activities, and note that on cooler nights, the fireplace provides a cozy spot to cuddle around.
Embark on a Journey of Wellness at Kinsterna
Getting pampered on your Peloponnese honeymoon in Greece is what it’s all about, and Kinsterna’s all encompassing wellness treatments are designed to instil a state of bliss. Step into the soothing space of Kinsterna Spa and prepare for an experience that resembles a ritual.
Browse through the available therapies from the spa menu or ask the therapist to recommend the best treatment for you. We recommend one of our signature ones, like Grape Expectations, which is our most luxurious skin treatment, for revealing your most vibrant self. If your skin has lost its radiance, try the White Light Anti-pollution treatment that revitalises the face. If you long to quieten both mind and body, try the Calm Mind Retreat, which eases muscle fatigue with a Swedish massage. Likewise, if you feel the knots in your back have gotten out of hand, the Fight the Stress Deep Tissue massage will relieve you of any accumulated tensions.

At Sterna, Greek flavours are reimagined into a high-level degustation menu, thanks to the collaboration with the renowned Trastelis Group and the Michelin-starred Spondi. Mouries, set among the serene mulberry trees, provides authentic, homemade dishes using fresh produce from the estate’s fertile land, offering a true taste of the Laconian countryside. Lastly, Linos Tavern, named after the traditional wine press, celebrates rustic Greek cuisine with a “folk-inspired” menu, featuring salads, local meats, and vegetables cooked in a stone wood-fired oven, for a truly authentic dining experience.
