Gelassenheit Apartment, Nea Seleukeia

Up to 4 guests

A cool, quiet apartment with a private courtyard near Drepano

Gelassenheit takes its name from the German word for serenity, and it lives up to it. The apartment sits on a quiet residential street in Nea Selefkia, a short drive from Drepano Beach and the port of Igoumenitsa. Being on a semi-basement level, it stays naturally cool through the Epirus summer, and the private courtyard, with its palm tree, loungers and a patch of lawn, is where most evenings end.

One bedroom, a roomy living area and everything for self-catering

There is a bedroom with a double bed and a spacious living room with a large sofa for extra guests, with room for up to four in all. The kitchen has an oven with hobs, a microwave, a filter and a capsule coffee maker, a kettle and a TV, and there is a washing machine and a solar water heater for plenty of hot water. Fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning and window screens throughout make it easy to settle in.

Good to know

Check-in is flexible and check-out is by 11:00. Smoking is not allowed inside. Dogs are welcome: there is a dog house in the courtyard and pets stay outdoors. Drepano Beach, the town’s long sandy beach, and the ferry port are both a few minutes away by car. Registration number (AMA): 00003921115.

Evenings in the courtyard

This is the kind of place where you come back from the beach, rinse off, and spend the rest of the day outside: a book on the lounger under the palm tree, dinner at the courtyard table, and nothing but the sound of a quiet neighbourhood.

Who it suits

Gelassenheit suits couples and small families who want a calm, cool apartment near Drepano Beach with outdoor space, travellers with a dog looking for pet-friendly accommodation near Igoumenitsa, and anyone who prefers a peaceful residential street to the town centre.
