Welcome / About this site

Welcome to the Elaionas Corfu Blog! Here we tell the story of how a wild olive grove in Arillas is becoming a place for people. A place to arrive, breathe deeply, and simply be.

We – that’s Vera Isabella and Imanuel – live on this land, among 200 old olive trees, with views of the sea and the rocks of Arillas. And we’re building something: what exactly, you can find out here 😄. In this blog we’re taking you along for the ride.

Some of you may already know us. Others are new here. What you all have in common: You are warmly welcome.
