Our narrative
What has been lost - Ancient Phelloe
Topographically, it is positioned where Seliana is today -located in the mountains of Aigira, in Aegialeia, Achaia, at an altitude of 750 meters, on the border with Corinthia. Its lyrical name (felloi<fellos which means cork in Greek) comes from the Ionians who first inhabited the area, which was famous for its abundant waters and fragrant vineyards. Pausanias mentions it in his “Achaika”, while findings from European archaeological excavations accentuate its cultural and commercial contribution.
What we love – Phelloe of today
A place of well-being with absolute respect to man and nature. On the one hand, the verdant and fertile valley with all kinds of cultivation, and on the other hand ancient relics and preserved stone houses, where among them there is a century-old single-arch stone bridge over the river Krios. An ideal backdrop for meditation, yoga, and Greek language classes, as well as hunting wild mushrooms or other activities in nature, the area attracts hundreds of visitors and volunteers from Greece and abroad, who have slowly moved here to engage in the production and processing of agricultural and livestock products, or hospitality, giving new life to the area.
What we dream of – Phelloe of the future
Based on the original vision of Phelloe, we design and implement a link between localism and multiculturalism. That is why we decided to locate the headquarters of the SCE here and even to name it after this place, where its values, its philosophy and the long experience of the team are united with new technologies and are a source of inspiration for creative projects all over Greece.
Getting to know each other
Phelloe has a creative team of partners with recognized credibility and artistic value whose qualities have been carefully selected to express its profile, such as photographers, filmmakers, copywriters, scriptwriters, and art directors, and also a large network of volunteers depending on the region where it operates.
