The fully equipped residence is close to the sea, perfect for all seasons and offers 120 square meters on two floors as well as a very large garden with its own well.

The neighbourhood

Before we present the house in more detail below, here is a brief overview of the wonderful neighborhood, which makes almost every holiday dream come true.

A two-minute walk away from the house is the most beautiful and car-free “Platia” far and wide, with great restaurants, a supermarket, a nearby bakery and the oldest café in Greece, which opened first time in 1785. More information about the beautiful and original village can be found here.

The surroundings

Just a stone’s throw from the Platia, below the veranda of the holiday home, the lush landscape begins with fantastic views of the surrounding area.

In addition, both coasts of the peninsula with their very different character can be reached in a few minutes by car.

There is hardly any other place that offers more variety and amenities.

Enchanting hiking trails lead directly from the house to picturesque coastal towns and impressive mountain villages.

Lafkos in South Pelion brings together mountains, sea and nature with a very charming village. The Pelion peninsula is certainly one of the best places in Greece for beach vacationers, nature lovers and hikers.
