Easter is a time for family, warmth, and shared moments — a time when we return to our roots, to the comfort of home, the aroma of freshly baked sweet bread, and the simple joy of eggs dyed with care and love.
This spring, Hotel Gela will celebrate both Catholic Easter (April 3 – 6) and Orthodox Easter (April 10 – 13) with a special festive program inspired by the true spirit of the holiday — gathering, gratitude, and new beginnings.
festive program
During each of the holiday periods, we have prepared a special program for our guests:
Easter egg dyeing on Saturday (11:00)
Traditional bread and kozunak baking
Traditional dinners prepared in our oak-wood oven
Live Rhodope bagpipe musicians and singers
Welcoming the Resurrection with a visit to the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God in Shiroka Laka
Festive Easter lunch with a generous table and lamb slowly roasted on a traditional cheverme spit
A special five-course signature dinner created by our chef
Weather permitting, an outdoor BBQ picnic in the hotel garden
what else?
As part of the festive program, guests are invited to join special workshops dedicated to the craft of slow, handmade baking.
In the kozunak and sourdough bread workshop, you will discover the basics of the process and learn traditional techniques behind these beloved Easter breads.
Throughout your stay in Gela, celebration and relaxation go hand in hand.
Guests can enjoy the hotel’s relaxation area with sauna and steam bath, as well as the opportunity to book Shiatsu and Yumeiho massages for deep rest and restoration.
Included in the accommodation package is also a unique experience — our traditional wood-fired Scandinavian bath, a one-of-a-kind ritual in the heart of the mountains.
We look forward to welcoming you to celebrate this bright holiday together and create beautiful memories in the Rhodope Mountains.
