The journey of Nisaki Mathraki B&B began with a transformative encounter, sparked by a distinguished guest—a respected business leader from The Hague, Netherlands. What commenced as a routine stay evolved into a profound connection.

Kris and Zena
The Genesis of Purpose
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kris and Zena, a devoted husband-and-wife duo and fourth-generation stewards of their family land, returned to their secluded Greek island. Amid lockdown, they identified pressing social and environmental needs, igniting a resolve to revitalize and safeguard Mathraki’s heritage.
Over two years of meticulous research, they crafted Nisaki Mathraki Bed & Breakfast as a social enterprise. With a commitment to sustainable tourism, local employment, and eco-conscious travel, their mission emerged to uplift the community while preserving the island’s pristine beauty.
The Diapontian Distinction
Mathraki, one of the three Diapontian Islands off Corfu’s northwest coast, stands apart from the bustling European travel hub. While Corfu grapples with mass tourism’s challenges, Mathraki’s remote location naturally shields it, offering a rare sanctuary for those willing to journey beyond the ordinary.
An Invitation to the Discerning
After four years of dedicated research and thriving operations, Kris and Zena have come to value Mathraki’s inaccessibility as its greatest asset. It attracts travelers seeking authentic engagement with nature, wellness, and community—guests who cherish experiences over mere destinations.
Immersive Island Life
Guests at Nisaki Mathraki Bed & Breakfast are invited to partake in meaningful activities: adopting olive trees, mastering traditional oil production, fishing, clearing hiking paths, and exploring crystal-clear waters. Each endeavor fosters a deep connection with the island’s ecosystem and its people.
A Sustainable Future
As we embrace the next chapter, we are thrilled to expand with eco-friendly, sustainable accommodations through glamping—offering an adventurous yet mindful way to experience Mathraki’s natural splendor.
Glamping—short for "glamorous camping"—is a unique way to experience the great outdoors without giving up the comforts of home. Think of it as camping with a luxurious twist!
Quality Time Together: Glamping encourages families to unplug from screens and spend meaningful time together. Whether it’s around a campfire or out on a hike, there are plenty of opportunities to bond in a distraction-free setting.
Hands-On Learning: Glamping in nature gives kids a chance to explore and learn about the environment. Many glamping destinations are located in natural areas, providing a perfect backdrop for kids to learn about plants, animals, and ecosystems.
Glamping combines the best of both worlds: an adventure in nature with a dash of comfort and style.
