The Monte Verde Resort was the dream of visionary entrepreneur Rallis Alexandros, who, in December 1988, visited the Kalavryta Ski Center shortly after its grand opening on December 11. As a young ski athlete from the Patras Mountaineering Club, he was the first to pass through the ski center gates, obtaining the very first ticket ever issued.
Enchanted by the natural beauty of Mount Helmos, he decided to invest in the area, creating a haven of comfort, tranquility, and relaxation for mountain enthusiasts.
Inspired by his sister Elena, who, along with her husband from Corfu, had established a tourism business in Sidari, Corfu, he decided to create something similar in the mountains.
Soon after completing his studies as an Electrical Engineer and taking over the family business from his parents, the first investments in real estate in the area were made in 1990. The specific property, under negotiation since 2004, was finally acquired in 2006, paving the way for the development of this investment.
Today, the MONTE VERDE RESORT consists of three luxury chalets, with two more under construction. The complex is located at the foothills of the northwestern side of the Avgo peak of Mount Helmos, at an altitude of 1,165 meters. Nestled in the forest, it offers visitors the ultimate experience of relaxation and enjoyment, immersing them in the serenity and tranquility of the natural surroundings and the Monte Verde Resort. The location of Monte Verde Resort is unique, situated on the provincial road connecting Kalavryta, Lousoi, and Kleitoria, leading to the Kalavryta Ski Center, just 8 km away. This road remains open year-round, as it is regularly cleared of snow during the winter.
Additionally, it is only 7 km from the center of Kalavryta, 9 km from the Cave of Lakes, 15 km from Agia Lavra, 17 km from the Monastery of Mega Spilaio, and 40 km from the coast of northern Peloponnese and the Olympia Odos highway.
Thus, the resort is the perfect destination for those seeking an idyllic winter retreat and more. Among the visionary's future goals is the creation of an outdoor pool, allowing guests to enjoy the natural environment during the summer months as well.
