A farm park with animals, playgrounds and a restaurant

A whole day out in nature for all the family: feed the deer, the donkeys and the other animals, while the children play freely on the grass and you enjoy food and coffee just a few steps away.

A little paradise in the heart of the Arcadian countryside

We invite you to discover a truly original place and enjoy moments of calm, joy and genuine Greek hospitality — from a family that has looked after this land for four generations.

Papakia Farm, on the Megalopoli – Andritsaina road, is a green haven with animals, playgrounds, a restaurant and a café, for a day out with your family or friends.

Our animals

A living place of discovery, where young and old meet the farm animals up close, stroll through green spaces and enjoy the calm of nature.

Deer graze freely in the meadow under the plane trees, the paths wind past little ponds and wooden fences, and every corner has something for you to discover.

You’ll meet them, feed them, stroke them and discover lots of fascinating things about the best-loved animals of the Greek countryside — a whole day in nature, just minutes from historic Karytaina.

Meet them, feed them,
stroke them and play

Who we are

The same land.Four generations of history and a future that carries on.

We are a small family business.

Our story begins many years ago, when our great-grandfather first farmed this land with hard work, patience and love.

The years went by and times changed, but the land stayed the same. From our great-grandparents it passed to our grandparents, to their grandchildren and today to their great-grandchildren, who carry on the family’s tradition and vision with respect. Every day we work the same soil, with the same love and the same belief that whatever is built with care stands the test of time.

For us, this business is the continuation of a family story that keeps our bond with nature and with our roots alive.
