According to legend, the ancient name of ‘Vrasies’ came from the slain Semeli. The earthware jar in which Zeus trapped Semeli and her son Dionysius as to punish them, was found on the current beach of Plaka. The devout citizens of the area decided to honour Semeli with a proper burial but also to take care of the upbringing o Dionysius thus referring him to the tutor Ino. The young tutor protected dionysius from divine and human power forces hiding him in the cave of the current monastery Agios Nikolaos Sytzas. The conquest of the divine beauty of the area fruited a love and euphoria relationship between Dionysius and the land, as a result the corps and fruit multiplied day by day. In honour of Dionysius the plains of the area were names ‘The Garden of Dionysius’.

Amazing camping, clean, comfortable and great seats for tents. All the detail is cared for and seen by the owners and the staff who are polite. The space is perfectly harmonious with the natural environment and this gives a sense of tranquility and rest. As for the location is excellent as in 5 minutes walk you are in the picturesque port of the plate and in a distance of 5-6 minutes by car you get to the leonido as well as Poulithra. It has free sunbeds in front of the beautiful beach and countless options for excursions to other beaches, monasteries and beautiful mountains for hiking or walks
