On the borders of the Greek and Turkish states. At that time Arachthos was the border of two countries. On this border, the old Customs House in Plaka. Next to it, the largest single arched stone bridge in the Balkans.

The Customs used to be a station in the journey of the products. A century later, the Tolonio hotel is a station, on the journey of people to Tzoumerka. A focal point for your tour and a starting point for your actions.

Theme of the hotel is the bread. There is a museum area with old exhibits, mainly tools. What kind of work did people do to earn their living? The reception table used to be a monastery fermenter. In the paneling, the keys to the rooms, hung on seals, as if their ambition is to seal the stay. The sheaves and sickles, in the windows. The wooden plows, railings, in the atrium area of the floor.

“On the roof of the stairs is the plow. And its handrail rests where the phone cables once passed. The communication of the top with the bottom.” In the center of the hall, a unique actor and protagonist, the large stone fireplace.

Art of the innkeeper is to welcome the guests, to listen to them, and to lead them to the secrets of the area.
And then comes the tsipouro. There is a Raki festival every autumn. Try the aromatic variety… “Zampela”!

The cook brings home-made deliciousness to the restaurant.

All guests are a family. And the products are local and healthy. Olive oil. Traditional flavors and pies. Cooked meals every day. And the breakfast with jams, from fruits we grow ourselves, genuine honey, pancakes, pies, homemade cakes.

In the cafe you will find soft drinks, ice creams, mountain tea, coffees of all kinds, cold beers, local wines, liqueurs made from our fruits, and of course tsipouro from Zambela, with delicious appetizers.
