Amanzoe
Porto Heli on the East Coast of the Peloponnese, Greece
Comprising a 38-suite resort and an Aman Spa, Amanzo'e is Amanresorts? third Mediterranean retreat ? the Greek complement to Montenegro?s Aman Sveti Stefan and Turkey?s Amanruya. Drawing its name from the Sanskrit-derived word for ?peace? and zoe (pronounced zoi), the Greek word for ?life?, Amanzo'e is situated on a hilltop close to the quaint town of Porto Heli on the east coast of the Peloponnese. The resort offers almost 360º panoramic sea views as well as a private Beach Club in a picturesque bay.
Each Pool Pavilion offers a six-metre pool and each Deluxe Pool Pavilion features a 12-metre pool. The free-standing pavilions are arranged on different levels to maximise privacy and the breathtaking views over the Aegean. Each pavilion is accessed through a stone-wall courtyard that leads to spacious, high-ceilinged living and sleeping areas. Beds are positioned in a marble-walled alcove which, together with the living area and bathroom, opens up onto the terrace, shaded by a pergola.

ACTIVITIES & EXPERIENCES
?TREKKING; Historical, archaeological and nature treks.Trekking in the beautiful scenery of the Peloponnese is an invigorating and memorable experience. Trek past Byzantine chapels, Mycenaean tombs and watermills on your way from Mycenae to the village of Prosymni (3 hours). Other options include a light trek to the sunken hollows of Vythismata or the Bisti Forest at Ermioni.
? LOCAL PRODUCE: The region has a reputation for its agricultural products including its citrus fruits, low-acidity olives, diverse fish and crustaceans and wine. Amanzo'e offers guests the opportunity to pick olives and make their own olive oil (seasonal); join in the pomegranate harvest (seasonal); visit local sheep and goat farmers who make their own cheese; and collect honey (seasonal) on a trip to the local hives and honey museum. Within 90 minutes of Amanzo'e there are numerous vineyards open for wine tasting.
?WATER SPORTS: Waterskiing is available in the region?s sheltered bays; or why not find your own beach for the day either on a modern sailboat or the resort?s Wally One powerboat?
?LAND ACTIVITIES: Ideal for mountain biking, off-road tracks abound in the area, whether winding through ancient pine forests or hilltop olive groves.
?HELICOPTER TOURS: Head out at sunrise or sunset for an airborne tour of the area. Flights take in all the Mycenaean Citadels including Mycenae, Tyrinth and Midea, as well as Epidavros, Halieis (the ancient sunken city in Porto Heli Bay), Acrocorinthos, the ancient stadium and Temple of Apollo at Nemea, and Isthmia Harbour.
? NAFPLION: The historic city of Nafplion is situated just 65 kilometres away from Amanzo'e. The first capital of modern Greece, it is well-known for its neoclassical architecture, the imposing Palimidi Castle overlooking the city, and the Bourtzi Castle in the middle of the harbour. Take a stroll in the old part of town, visit the archaeological museum, sample local cuisine at any of the sea-view tavernas and spend an evening enjoying the town?s live jazz bars.
