The holistic community project Korogonas Ark was born at the end of 2012 upon the virgin land of the small Korogonas plateau in southern Peloponnese, 25km west of Monemvasia and 25km south of Molaoi. It is a member of the Global Ecovillages Network (GEN).
Located approximately 120 meters above sea level, facing south, with a mild climate and clean air — the sea is visible from the land.
With nature their primary concern, the founders preserve the area’s wild flora in all its wealth and biodiversity. Wild olive, carob and pear trees and wild asparagus and herbs are protected, while more than 300 trees and a variety of bushes have been cultivated from scratch.
Vegetable gardens have been created using natural farming and permaculture practices. Olives from both wild olive trees (Olea oleaster) and cultivars are harvested exclusively by hand — yielding super-olive oil and wild olive oil considered a super food.
The fields of Korogonas Ark feature natural paths and spaces for experiential education, reflection, and meditation under the shade of big trees named the Princess, the Four Graces, and the Dancer.
Situated between two villages, roughly 7 kilometers away, the land lies far from intensive agriculture and urban pollution. This Peloponnese farm tour is a 5-hour experience combining a guided community walk with a philosophy-driven cooking workshop.
