August
The summer months at Peligoni are reminiscent of the old long-forgotten definition of a laid back family holiday – they are about letting go, spending time together and connecting with like-minded people in a beautiful Greek island setting.
About August
With the season in full swing, everything that Peligoni is about comes together as a whole. The warmth of the Greek sunshine and crystal clear azure waters, days spent making hazy family memories out on the water or parents battling it out on the tennis court whilst kids enjoy exciting tailored activities, and evenings spent connecting with like-minded guests over long table feasts. Perfect for multigenerational families, many of which come back year after year, there’s a life and soul to summer holidays at Peligoni like no other.
Family Friendly Food & Drink
Peligoni has always been about bringing people together in a magical Greek island setting, with our food and drink offerings at the heart of this. You can expect plenty to be going on during the summer months, from long table evening feasts and the infamous Peligoni party nights to lunch time pop-ups and pizza nights at the Deli. Sharing delicious food accompanied by plenty of rosé and great company, is what Peligoni is all about.
