Easter at Kinsterna

Easter at Kinsterna unfolds as a time of gathering, renewal and shared tradition. Within the peaceful landscape of the estate, guests are invited to experience the customs of the Greek Easter season through simple rituals, local flavours and moments spent together.

Just a short drive away, Monemvasia offers a uniquely atmospheric setting during this sacred period. Within the stone pathways of the castle, candlelight, incense and the sound of church bells create a deeply moving experience, while local traditions bring the historic town to life. Celebrations include the ceremonial Burning of Judas at Panagia Chrysafitissa and the festive fireworks and music at the Monemvasia bridge, adding a vibrant local dimension to the Easter weekend.

At the estate, the Holy Saturday Resurrection service at the nearby church is followed by the traditional Easter dinner, while Easter Sunday is celebrated with a festive lunch accompanied by live music and the warmth of shared celebration.

Throughout the Easter period, the estate comes alive with experiences inspired by tradition and the rhythms of spring. Families and children are welcomed to participate in seasonal activities, while the natural surroundings offer opportunities to explore, taste and connect with the land.

Easter experiences at the estate include:

• Dyeing Easter eggs using natural colours from flowers and herbs gathered in the gardens
• Traditional games and activities for children
• A small Easter surprise basket awaiting guests in their room
• Horse riding through the countryside
• Guided tours of the gardens 
• Olive oil and honey tastings
• Beekeeping experience with our estate beekeeper
• Walks through vineyards and ancient routes

Easter at Kinsterna is not only a celebration, but an opportunity to experience the season slowly, through tradition, nature and the quiet joy of being together.
