The Resort
Zoe Resort is situated on a beautiful beach along the northern shores of the Navarino Bay. Its location right at the sea line makes it the choice destination in Gialova, being also at a short walking distance from various cafe's, tavernas and other shops of the village.
Zoe Resort stands right in front of the beach
Zoe Resort takes its the name from Zoe, meaning "life" in Greek. Zoe is also the name of the mother of Stavros Giannoutsos, who founded the Hotel Zoe back in the 1970's when it was the first hotel of Gialova. Today, at 104 years of age, Zoe is still alive. And, as the Orthodox tradition wants, Zoe's name passed onto Stavros' daughter, who welcomes you today at the hotel's reception. The family management of the Resort ensures that our guests are being taken care warmly and friendly during their whole stay, as if they too were part of our family.
The apartments of Zoe Resort are surrounded by flowery gardens
The Rooms and Apartments
Zoe Resort is made up by the Hotel, which is the oldest part with 28 rooms, and by the Apartments (16 of them), which are a fully new acquisition of the resort.
All Hotel rooms have been renewed in 2010. They all have a private bathroom with toilet and shower and come as double, 3-bed rooms and special family rooms with two connected bedrooms and a bathroom. Most of them have a shaded balcony with a view of the sea.
The spacious Apartments all have a private, shaded balcony or veranda with a view of the sea and/or the flowery garden, double beds, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a shower and bathtub.

The swimming pool
During those moments when you don't particularly like to swim in the salty sea water, our swimming pool is the alternative for you. Families with small children appreciate particularly the pool, where parents can relax in the shade close to the water while keeping an eye on their children playing safely in the pool's water.
Zoe Restaurant
In our restaurant you can pamper your taste buds with original Greek cuisine. In the dappled shade of the plane-trees, looking out over the beach and Navarino Bay, you can make your choice from a variety of Greek dishes, prepared with fresh, organic ingredients which are grown in our own gardens.
Organic food from our garden
Stavros Giannoustos collects salad from his garden
Our organic vegetables are grown with our own seeds, which we store year after year as in the old days. Using only natural fertilizers, our tomatoes, courgettes, etc. are especially tasty, and most important, healthy. We strongly believe that healthy food is at the base of a healthy life!
Fresh sea food
Fresh sea food offered at our restaurant comes straight from the Navarino Bay. It includes sea bass, various breams and tunas, red mullets, lobsters and many more.
Our wines
For the perfect accompaniment to your meal we can offer you a selection of local quality wines, made of Messinian grape varieties.
Our own Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Messinia is the land of the olive oil. As a matter of fact, more than 11 millions of olive trees grow in the region, producing a very special oil. We too produce our own Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which we care for as with all other produces of our land. We follow the oil production from the very beginning, from the tending of the trees to the very last cold moment of the olive pressing and bottling. This ensures a healthy oil of the best standards.

Design, is the first signature golf course in Greece.

In 2011 the Bay Course will also open, playing to a par of 71. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the layout offers panoramic seaside and mountain views in addition to holes that play directly along the sea, providing an unforgettable golfing experience.
