A hermitage is a place of contemplation, of contemplative reflection. And so the name of the accommodation also reflects the original idea of architect and founder Andreas Sell. Because the "Hermitage Sykaminea" should be a place of conscious retreat. You can still withdraw here, but the focus has shifted more to a communal nature experience with creative exchange. A series of seminars, workshops and collaborations with and for artists, craftsmen, designers and architects take place here in spring and autumn.

With a view of the sea and the Turkish coast, there are many opportunities to get active and learn new things in this place. The houses are furnished in a minimalist style and offer essential comfort. Exciting perspectives and perspectives ensure brightness and lightness. Designed with lots of wood, the buildings adapt to nature and almost merge with it. The ensemble consists of three buildings, a pergola as a community space and an open-air kitchen with an open lounge. There is a shared stone bath house, which has running water, as does the shared kitchen. Another bathroom is under the pergola. For a warm shower, the water must first be heated, which works with a solar system. The appreciation of all resources such as water, electricity, wool, wood and clay is the focus here.

There is space for up to eight guests who want to spend their vacation as close to nature as possible. A footpath leads down to the village of Sykaminea with its traditional stone houses and narrow streets, a small harbour, some restaurants and a beach on the outskirts.
