Easter on the island of aromas
Book your stay at the Poseidonion Grand Hotel and experience an authentic Greek Easter full of unique flavours and fragrances.
The island of Spetses is the perfect location to celebrate this special time of year, as a potpourri of sweet scents waft over the island. Scarlet corn poppies and pink rock roses compete with yellow chamomile and the lilac Judas tree for your attention, while the sunshine warms the playful spring air.
Good Friday
During Holy Week a solemn atmosphere hangs in the air and the ‘passion’ is reenacted on Good Friday, when flower-decorated biers are devoutly carried from the island’s small chapels in a candlelit procession to converge in the main Poseidonion Square. After this unique experience, we invite you to mark the end of Holy Week with a selection of delectable lenten dishes - so delicious you won’t notice what’s missing.
Easter Saturday
Easter Saturday is a day for rejoicing as the midnight resurrection mass sees the sky light up with a spectacular fireworks display. Celebrate the resurrection with a special dinner at On the Verandah.
Easter Sunday
The joyous atmosphere continues on Easter Sunday which is also the culinary highlight of the weekend! We welcome guests to savour a traditional Greek meal served family style: a marriage of locally sourced produce and contemporary gastronomic trends.
Easter Monday Brunch
Finally, indulge in an Easter Monday brunch, rounding off the festive weekend and rejuvenating you for the week ahead.
