The name "Moriel" derives from the intriguing fusion of two Greek words: "Mori-es El-ies." Rooted in Greek mythology, this name harks back to the legend of Moria Elia, which is associated with the iconic Acropolis in Athens. According to the myth, Moria Elia was the very first olive tree ever planted on the Acropolis grounds, signifying not only the inception of olive cultivation in the ancient world but also the birth of this noble tree species itself. This profound symbolism places Greece at the heart of the olive's historical legacy, as the country has since become adorned with countless olive groves, making it one of the world's leading producers of olive oil.
 

The choice of our location, Akti Elias, bears testament to this rich heritage. "Akti Elias" translates to "Elias' Coast," and it encapsulates the essence of a coastal haven teeming with olive trees. Here, along the shoreline, olive trees flourish, reminiscent of Greece's enduring connection to this sacred plant. As you stroll along Akti Elias, you'll encounter the serene beauty of these olive groves, each tree whispering stories of ancient wisdom and a deep-rooted cultural legacy. It's a place where the olive tree's historical significance merges with the coastal charm of Sithonia, creating a unique and memorable backdrop for your stay.
