Overview

Introduction

Lafkos

Driving time from Platanias port 20 mins; from Volos port 70-90 minutes.

The wooded hills of the south-eastern corner of Pelion are less steep than the more mountainous north and the area more sparsely populated. The distance from Volos means it lessens the Greek holiday crowds who would otherwise flock to the beautiful sandy beaches and coves here (undoubtedly the peninsula’s loveliest).

The pretty hill village of Lafkos, about midway between east and west coast, has a lovely traditional main square and you will find five village tavernas, as well as a traditional cheese maker, a sculpture gallery and (weirdly) a radio museum! It is a wonderful base for walking - many local stone paths start from here - and we would urge walkers to visit the excellent website by friends of the kalderimi. The nearest beaches are a 10 minute drive away to the west near Milina - however a very wide choice of some truly fabulous sandy beaches can be found within a 20-30 minute drive in the south and east.

Unless you are on one of the walking or painting holidays based at the Lagou Raxi Hotel here, car hire is essential to further discover the area as the bus service here is limited.
