Our History

The story of Kentrikon starts in 1937 when the grandfather Dimitris Leventis with his beloved wife Alexandra, started to use the main building which was their house and shop, as a hostel. Those two gave meaning to the phrase of “leventis-hospitality” when as true pioneers started to offer accommodation to strangers in the area. In the 1950s, this simple accommodation was made into a hotel with beds for fourteen guests and the name of Kentrikon came and was inspired by the unique location of the building in the center of the village. The first visitors from Thessaloniki, soon were followed by Athenians and visitors from all over the world.In parallel during all these years, the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) located just a few meters away gained reputation all over the country and the world helping the touristic development of the area. In 1987 the sons of Leventis family, Konstantinos and Stamatis extended the hotel premises with building bungalows at the two levels above the main building.

Today

Many renovations took place, with point being the one of 2008, where the hotel was upgraded to a boutique escalating the whole experience of hospitality.
Today, almost one century since the very first beginning, the youngest generation of Leventis family is leading the hotel along with the other touristic businesses in the general area of Magnesia. Kentrikon is one of the first 100 hotels servicing Greek breakfast and has been distinguished over six times with the certification of excellence and the Travelers’ choice by Tripadvisor.

Kentrikon’s philosophy remains the same just as it was created in 1937 by Dimitris and Alexandra Leventis, who made sure to pass on to future generations this genuine desire to make guests feel like home in Pelion.
