At Hellenikon Idyllion, in the "Garden of Muses", childhood dreams for lovers of nature as well as for travelers,

families....

and creative groups are made possible…

Read how guests describe the Hellenikon Idyllion:

„Garden of muses, what a wonderful idea! We came to the sea, but we really bathed our senses in the inland: in the sounds and the voices, the smell and the colors, the charm of wonderful people we met here and with whom we could live in harmony. Our suitcases are now a bit lighter as one week ago at our arrival, but we will for sure have to pay extra luggage for our hearts full of the good memories we created here.
Dear Andreas, how lucky that there are still „mis-placed“ like you, who live a dream, from which everyone benefits and lets other „mis-placed“ people find each other and this way, makes the world a little more straight and really richer. “


Thank you!

More information about the lost city Helike:

The story of the destruction of Atlantis is one of the most famous stories from ancient Greece. Yet, there is a similar story of destruction told about the city of Helike. Unlike Atlantis, however, there are more written accounts about this site. Moreover, these writings

contain clues that helped archaeologists search for the true location of the city. Using these

clues, archaeologists have finally been able to track down the lost city.

Helike was situated in Achaea, on the northwestern part of the Peloponnesian peninsula. During its heyday, Helike was the leader of the first Achaean League, a confederation that consisted of 12 cities in the surrounding area. Due to this position, Helike was an important

economic, cultural and religious centre.

One night during the winter of 373 B.C., the city of Helike was obliterated. Some signs of the city’s impending doom were recorded, including the appearance of ‘immense columns of flames’ and the mass migration of small animals from the coast to the mountains several days prior to the disaster. A major earthquake, followed by a large tsunami from the Gulf of Corinth, wiped the city of Helike from the face of the earth. The rescue party that came in

the following morning found no survivors.

The patron god of Helike was Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea and earthquakes.

The destruction of Helike was attributed to Poseidon. According to the stories, the god of the sea was enraged with the inhabitants of Helike due to their refusal to give their statue of

Poseidon, or even a model of it, to the Ionian colonists from Asia. Some accounts even stated that the Ionian representatives were murdered. As a result, Poseidon punished the inhabitants of Helike by causing the sea to swallow to city (very much like that which happened to Atlantis). Unlike Atlantis, however, Helike was not completely lost, as it was visited by travellers in the following centuries. The philosopher Eratosthenes, who visited the site 150 years after its destruction, wrote that there was a standing bronze statue of Poseidon submerged in a ‘poros’, and was a hazard to fishermen’s nets. The Greek traveller Pausanias also visited the site, and wrote that the walls of the ancient city were still visible

under water, though they were by then much corroded by the salt water.

The location of Helike, was lost over time. Although speculations about the actual site of Helike already began in the early 19th century, it was only in the late 20th century that Helike was re-discovered. As Helike was a submerged city, its location was one of the big mysteries of underwater archaeology. Yet, it was this conviction that the city was hidden

somewhere in the Gulf of Corinth that made its discovery impossible.

In 1988, a Greek archaeologist, Dora Katsonopoulou, raised the possibility that the ‘poros’ mentioned in the ancient texts might not refer to the sea, but an inland lagoon. If so, it would be plausible that Helike is not located in the Gulf of Corinth, but inland, as the lagoon would have been silted up over the millennia by river sediment. It was in 2001 that the team found Helike in Achaea, Greece. In 2012, the destruction layer was uncovered, which

confirmed that the site is indeed Helike.

Whilst the city of Helike has been re-discovered, excavations are still being carried out in the area. This is significant, as the area has been settled by different groups of people, and it is through the uncovering of settlements from various periods of history that a more complete picture of the region, from the prehistoric era to the modern period, can be produced. After all, although the story of Helike may be fantastic, it is but one point in a long series of events

that span over the millennia.

The Hellenikon Idyllion in collaboration with the Helike Society offers the possibility to its visitors and guests to combine their stay in the Hellenikon Idyllion with an opportunity to attend a Seminar offered in Greek Archaeology and Culture in the framework of the ongoing research work in the nearby site of ancient Helike about 14 km east of Selianitika. The Seminar includes lectures (a) on the archaeology of the Helike area, the ancient capital of Achaia, (b) introduction to Greek archaeology and ancient Greek sources, and (c) on conservation work of archaeological finds from the excavations. See program below.
Ancient Helike
Ancient Helike is on the southwest shore of the Gulf of Corinth near Aigion in Achaia, about 170 km west of Athens. Helike was founded in the Mycenaean period by Ion, the leader of the Ionian race and became the capital of the Twelve Cities of ancient Achaea. In its territory, was located the famous sanctuary of Poseidon Helikonios, mentioned already in Homer. Poseidon’s fine head is shown on the bronze coins of Helike together with its main symbols, the trident and the dolphin, and the inscription ELIK.

The Classical city of Helike was destroyed in 373 BC by a violent earthquake which greatly impressed the ancients and is mentioned by many writers from the Classical period on down to the Byzantine times. Helike’s catastrophe by the earthquake and invading sea waters is considered to have inspired the Greek philosopher Plato to describe the destruction of the mythical land of Atlantis.

The research of the Helike Project for Ancient Helike
The systematic research to find ancient Helike started in 1988 by the Helike Project under the direction of the archaeologist Dora Katsonopoulou of Cornell University, originating from Aigion, and the physicist Steven Soter of the Smithsonian Institution.

In searching for the famous Classical city of Helike, the archaeology team discovered in the Helike plain about 7 km southeast of Aigion, significant and rare archaeological finds which cover a broad chronological range from the Early Bronze Age, the Mycenaean and Geometric periods, the Classical and Hellenistic down to late Roman times. On the discoveries in Helike, see at www.helikeproject.gr, under the chapter Discoveries.

The Helike Project managed by The Helike Society and the Geology Department of the University of Patras, is recruiting students and other volunteers to take part every year in archaeological lab and field work at the Ancient Helike sites, during six weeks in the summer. The training provided includes instruction by experts in the Project’s Conservation Laboratory and in the field on excavation techniques, stratigraphy, and application of geoarchaeological methods, and conservation of ancient artefacts.

Yoga mats are available, your own meditation pillow has to be brought.

Biography
Anne Krickeberg (Berlin / Cologne)

Anne Krickeberg explores the possibilities to combine music, meditation and improvisation in her culturel project. She practices intuitive music, organises concerts which invite to relax ouselves and to pause for a moment. Her long year experience of meditation (Zen) and her further education as a teacher of MBSR (stressmanagement through attention after the method of Prod. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn) have emphaiszed the importance of group dynamics during her seances.

"Διακελεύομαι δή σοι πάλαι παρακεκλημένῳ τῆς τῶν λόγων ἀντέχεσθαι φιλοσοφίας. Καθάπερ γάρ ἐστι φυλακτικὸν σώματος ὑγίεια, οὕτω ψυχῆς φυλακτικὸν καθέστηκε παιδεία. Ταύτης γὰρ προηγουμένης οὐ πταίειν συμβήσεταί σοι περὶ τὰς πράξεις, ἀλλὰ σῴζειν ἁπάσας ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν τὰς ὑπαρχούσας σοι τῶν ἀγαθῶν κτήσεις. Χωρὶς δὲ τῶν εἰρημένων, εἰ τὸ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς βλέπειν ἡδύ, τὸ τοῖς τῆς ψυχῆς ὄμμασιν ὀξυδορκεῖν ἐστι θαυμαστόν. Ἔτι δὲ ὥσπερ ὁ στρατηγός ἐστι σωτὴρ στρατοπέδου, οὕτω λόγος μετὰ παιδείας ἡγεμών ἐστι βίου". Letter from Aristotle to Alexander

Ἀκμάζοντος τοῦ θέρους κατὰ τὸ σύνηθες φίλαι καὶ φίλοι μέν τινες φιλέλληνες ἐν τῷ καλουμένῳ κήπῳ τῶν Μουσῶν ἁθροίσονται ὡς συναττικίσοντες. Οὗτος δὲ ὁ κῆπος, μέγας καὶ ἐπίσκιος καὶ παραθαλάττιος ὤν, εὑρίσκεται ἐν τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ Εἰδυλλίῳ.
Καλλίστη δὲ γενήσεται ἡ ἡμετέρα διδασκαλία πολλῶν καὶ ἄλλων φιλελλήνων τῶν λόγων μετεχόντων.
∆ιὰ μὲν οὖν τοῦτο παρακαλοῦμεν πάσας καὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς ἐκ πάσης τῆς οἰκουμένης,
αἳ/οἳ χαίρετε τῇ τῶν ἀρχαίων σοφίᾳ καὶ τοῖς λόγοις αὐτῶν, προσελθόντες συνδιαλέγεσθαι ἡμῖν. Ποία δὲ γενήσεται ἡ διδασκαλία; ∆ὶς τοι τῆς ἡμέρας ἐν τόπῳ χαρίεντι τοῦ κήπου συλλεγόμεθα καὶ αναγιγνώσκομεν γράμματα ἀρχαῖα ἐξηγούμενοι αὐτά κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῶν φιλολόγων.
Οὐδενὶ δὲ ἀνάγκη ἔσται ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀττικιστὶ ὥσπερ Γοργίας μακροὺς λόγους προφέρειν.

Ἔξεστι γὰρ παντὶ τὸ πρῶτον μόνον ἀκροατὴς γενέσθαι. Ἀλλὰ ταχέως ὄψεσθε ὡς ῥαδίως ταῖς τῶν ἀρχαίων Ἑλλήνων λέξεσιν διαλεγόμεθα. Μελέτη γὰρ τὸ πᾶν, ὥς φησι Περίανδρος.

Ἡ δὲ ἐν τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ Εἰδυλλίῳ διαγωγὴ οὐ μονον ἐκ διαλόγων σύγκειται, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλα γένοιτο ἄν πολλά. Πολλάκις γὰρ μουσικοί τε καὶ ἄλλοι τινὲς παιδείαν τιμῶντες ἐν τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ Εἰδυλλίῳ διατρίβουσιν, ὥστε συναυλίαι καὶ ἀκροάσεις τινὲς γίγνονται ἑσπέρας. Καὶ οἷόν τε ἂν εἴη ἄλλον τόπον θεάσασθαι καὶ δρᾶμά τι ἐν ἀρχαίῳ τινὶ θεάτρῳ.

Τοῦδε δὲ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ πρόκειται ἡμῖν ὡς ἀναγνωστέος Σοφοκλῆς μελετῶσι. Ὁ δὲ διδασκαλίαρχος ἐκλογὴν τινα Ἔργων τοῦ Σοφοκλέους παρασχήσει.
Ἐάν τι πλέον καὶ ἀκριβέστερον θέλητε μαθεῖν – περὶ μάλιστα τῆς νυκτερινῆς διαμονῆς καὶ τῶν δωματίων καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν – εἰκὸς ἄν εἴη ὑμᾶς ἐν καιρῷ πυθέσθαι τοῦ τῆς διδασκαλίας καθηγητοῦ

πυθέσθαι ἔξεστι καὶ τοῦ κτίστου καὶ κυρίου τοῦ Ἑλληνικοῦ Εἰδυλλίου καὶ ταύτην λαμπρῶς τὴν διδασκαλίαν χορηγοῦντος
