The Story Behind the Name
Terra Saronia was created in 2024 with the desire to offer a welcoming place of relaxation, closely connected to the land, the sea, and the unique history of Troizinia. Terra Saronia δημιουργήθηκε το 2024, με την επιθυμία να προσφέρει έναν φιλόξενο τόπο ξεκούρασης, στενά συνδεδεμένο με τη γη, τη θάλασσα και την ιδιαίτερη ιστορία της Τροιζηνίας.
Its name was not chosen by chance. The word Terra symbolises the earth and our deep connection with nature, while Saronia draws inspiration from the mythical King Saron, who, according to ancient tradition, gave his name to the Saronic Gulf. Terra συμβολίζει τη γη και τη βαθιά σύνδεση με τη φύση, ενώ το Saronia αντλεί την έμπνευσή του από τον μυθικό βασιλιά Σάρωνα, το πρόσωπο που, σύμφωνα με την αρχαία παράδοση, χάρισε το όνομά του στον Σαρωνικό Κόλπο.
The Myth of Saron
Saron was an ancient king of Troezen, renowned for his hunting skills and his great devotion to the goddess Artemis.
According to the account of the traveller Pausanias, one day Saron was chasing a deer when it leapt into the sea in an attempt to escape. Driven by the thrill of the hunt, the king followed it, swimming farther and farther away from the shore. Exhausted by the effort and unable to withstand the waves, he drowned in the waters of ancient Lake Psifta, in the area known today as Psifta.
His body was washed ashore near the sacred grove of Artemis, where he was buried. It is said that the surrounding sea was named the Saronic Gulf in his honour, preserving his name through the centuries. Σαρωνικός Κόλπος, διατηρώντας το όνομά του ζωντανό μέσα στους αιώνες.

In Harmony with the Natural Landscape
From the very beginning, our aim was to preserve the visitor’s connection with the natural environment and retain as much as possible of the area’s distinctive character.
Stone, earth, greenery, pebbles, and cement are essential elements of the property. Simple and authentic materials, closely connected to the landscape, that evoke the courtyards where we played as children and the simplicity of another era.
Terra Saronia is located on the Galatas–Fanari Provincial Road, perched on a rock and surrounded by nature. It is easily accessible from both the main road and the forest road, while clear signs will guide you to the entrance.
The Spaces of Terra Saronia
A courtyard with unobstructed sea views awaits you—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, a peaceful afternoon, or the colours of the horizon at sunset.
A rock garden, a small pond, and a garden landscaped along the natural slope of the hillside create a unique setting, where every element follows the lines and character of the landscape.
After a swim or a day of exploring, you can enjoy a refreshing or warm shower in the outdoor shower and then relax in the outdoor seating area, letting your gaze wander across the Saronic Gulf.
