Amaliada, Greece

Dexamenes

A late-1920s winery on Kourouta beach, where the suites are the old wine tanks.

Our read

What stood out was the round tank standing in the water, the vines in front of the long wing, and a person inside the red curve of a cylinder. The beach is the address. The tanks are why the hotel exists.

The place itself

Dexamenes is at Kourouta Beach, Beach Front, Amaliada 272 00, Greece. The telephones they print are +30 26220 25999 and +30 697 252 1806. General inquiries are info@dexamenes.com. Reservations are reservations@dexamenes.com. Book on dexamenes.com. They say the building dates from the late 1920s, and that it marks the industrial years of winemaking on this coast. The line they use is that the wine tanks became the hotel suites. A round tank stands in a court of water, with a stone path to a dark door. In front of the long wing, young vines run in rows. Between two cylinders, a daybed sits under a timber roof. Down on the sand, the beach wing follows the shore. Inside one tank the wall is still the raw concrete, and the bed is set against it. They also show a person standing in the red curve of a tank. They publish a short film.
