Near to my home village of ParalioAstros in the Peloponnese is the lovely and popular tourist destination city of Nafplio. Just off the corner of a little side street before the main plateia (main central square) you will find The Panta Rei Studio. Georgia its owner runs a tight ship. Only one of a handful of people in the world trained in the art of Ancient Greek Massage she is sought after by Greeks all over the world as well as the visiting tourists. Particularly in the summer months, please pre-book as this little centre of wellness is popular.

In an old Greek marble sink (called a Gourna) I had the most delightful manicure/pedicure experience by Georgia’s daughter, whilst my wife went in for for a scheduled Ancient Greek Massage. One hour later it was my turn. Oh my God, the dimly lit room, the ancient music, the incense….heaven. When its your turn wait for the part where you get scrubbed with the sea-salt. Thats all I can say. These Ancient Greeks really understood how to take care of their bodies. Thanks Georgia, see you again on our next visit to Nafplio.
