History
Aristi Mountain Resort sits in the stone village of Aristi in the Zagori region of northwest Greece, at the edge of the Vikos-Aoos National Park with views toward the Vikos Gorge and the Astraka Towers. Founder Vasilis Iosifidis discovered Aristi as a personal refuge and conceived the resort in 1999, spending some three years on its design with architect Thomas Tsatsopoulos before it opened in the early 2000s.
Built of local stone in keeping with the village, the eighteen-room retreat has been celebrated as one of the world's finest ecolodges.
