Pelion
The Village οf Lafkos - South Pelion
Lafkos is one of the 24 officially 'listed' villages in the region of Pelion, about 45 km from the city of Volos. Medieval paths (Kalderimia) stretch around this car-free village and further afield to neighbouring villages and the sea. Three museums and five tavernas are open all year. The smell of freshly baked bread in a wood-fired oven draws you to the bakery shop. The village has three small 'mini-markets', a craftsman jeweller, homemade soaps and a gift shop. In under 10 minutes you can walk from the hotel through the village lanes to the square with its imposing church and plane trees.

Lagou Raxi Country Hotel

There is an easy footpath from the hotel down to Milina. Although British owned the hotel cuisine is traditional Greek, sometimes with a twist. All the dishes are home-made, and delicious! The hotel has a good-sized
swimming pool and an all-weather tennis court as well as the Library, Terrace, Azure Restaurant, yoga mats and the purpose-built 'Atelier' or workroom.
The 20 spacious and comfortable bedrooms are all named after local beaches. Free WiFi throughout.
