The peninsula is an amazing winter vacation spot offering a mild climate, countless hiking trails, picturesque mountain villages, amazing coastlines and stunning views.

Over 40 beautiful mountain village’s invite to explore Pelion’s rich history during Christmas in Greece.

Most Impressive is especially the endless net of old paved roads that connect the villages and can be traced back partly to ancient times.

The residence is located 54 kilometers from Volos in one of the most beautiful villages of south Pelion.

It is called Lafkos and famous because of the beautiful square without any cars and his delicious taverns.

Just two stone’s throw away from the house, beats the heart of the village, with one of the oldest coffee shops in Greece running since 1775.

Christmas in Greece is a very enjoying matter for every village and all people.

The cottage with view next to the square of Lafkos combined the rural charm of country style with a touch of modern architecture.

The House is made as place to be for passionate and attentive people, whether it is summer, autumn, winter or spring.

Opposite you can see the small Byzantine chapel Ag. Paraskevi and the whole mountains of the southern peninsula.

Enjoy the panorama view right from your bed, silence interrupted only by birdsongs and a deep taste of the Greek way of life.

Settled 330m above the sea, 10 minutes far away by car or 45 by food, the cottage is overlooking an old spring and border’s directly on the green valley below the hill.

The South Pelion in the Christmastime is a miracle from breathtaking lighting moods and festivity.
