Inspired by Mythology – The Villas of NewTown Residences

The NewTown Residences villas are inspired by ancient Greek mythology, each named to reflect symbolism and historical depth.

In Gournes, you’ll discover Alcyone and Karmis.

According to legend, Alcyone represents serenity, protection, and the calm of the sea—her presence is said to bring an end to storms. Villa Alcyone embodies that same sense of peace and tranquility. As the first of our two villas in Gournes, it is fully equipped and thoughtfully designed to offer you a truly memorable stay.

      Sustainability

      We are aware that the hospitality industry must discover creative ways to reduce waste and pollution. That is why at NewTown Residences we strive to use eco-friendly practices and products to do our part to protect the environment.

      For this purpose, we only use chemical-free and biodegradable cleaning products.

      At NewTown Residences, we are committed to sustainable living. We have already produced over 35,000 kWh of solar energy, significantly reducing our carbon footprint and leading the way in renewable energy within the hospitality sector.
