Life as

a Journey.

Summer

as a Poem.

The story of the Karavias family is an ongoing journey inspired by our ancestors’ thirst for exploration and the untamed spirit of Grecian seafarers. Having the sea that unites us all as a starting point, the shores that we reach are just a step in time.

Follow the Sea.
Live the Adventure.

From Ithaca to Santorini and the seas of the world. The journey of the Karavias family.

Sail Off

The creation of our family business was paved by our grandfather, who left Ithaca and settled with his wife in Santorini. As the mayor of Fira, he was involved in projects that forever shaped the modern face of the island. He also actively engaged in the naval affairs of Santorini.

Inspiration & Creation

Sharing his vision and diligence, his son Chrysanthos Karavias laid the foundations of the Homeric Poems Hotel, which after a long series of expansions and renovations came to the hands of his daughter Andromache, who currently runs the property with unique flair and elegance.

What is Nostos?

Perhaps now it’s all clearer to you that arriving at Homeric Poems is only the beginning!
