Arrival at MOYSEION is marked by the ancient Greek rite of Xenia, the sacred tradition of hospitality celebrated in Homer's Odyssey. The worth of a host is measured not by abundance, but by generosity and openness to the stranger.

Upon entering, you are invited to recline on traditional klinai, while ancient melodies evoke the atmosphere of a distant age.

The ritual culminates in a ceremonial washing of the hands with Aleppo soap and water poured into a copper basin—an act of purification, welcome, and respect that marks the passage from traveler to honored guest.
