We feel sure that Princess Kyniska would wish to extend a welcome to her modern counterparts. Perhaps she would like to pass the hand of hospitality over the centuries to a few fellow female champions…
Dame Kelly Holmes: 800m and 1500m gold medals Athens, 2004
Princess Kyniska is sure that Dame Kelly would love her spacious and relaxing suite with all modern communications and conveniences, and especially relaxing on the balcony gazing over the fabulous views of the bay of Plitra. She will be treated with the courtesy and hospitality that the Suites are famous for, and we hope she will enjoy the VeryChic welcome touches of a bottle of wine and fruit basket on arrival, inclusive breakfast and a complimentary massage in the spa.
Rebecca Adlington: 400m and 800m swimming gold medals Beijing, 2008
Princess Kyniska cannot offer an Olympic pool to Becky, but feels sure she will enjoy the beautiful curved pool overlooking the glorious sweep of the bay. She can relax with a well deserved cocktail or fresh Greek salad snack at the AlPaYiA pool bar and immerse herself in the wondrously blue Aegean views. And a dip in the softly lit pool of the spa, plus a luxurious massage, will make her feel at home!
Victoria Pendleton CBE: Keirin track cycling gold medal London, 2012
Princess Kyniska may invite Victoria to hire a bike from the hotel and set out for some sightseeing around the glorious unspoiled countryside of the Mani. After her exertions she will welcome dinner in the Princess Restaurant, with gastronomic delights from the menu of Iannis Baxevanis, one of Greece’s most famous chefs, with fresh local produce given a gastronomic flavour. The setting under the stars by candlelight will be sure to remain in her memory.
And for mere mortals like us, the best thing about the Princess Kyniska Suites is that we all receive the gold star treatment; the dedication to Greek hospitality means that every guest is an Olympian!
