SKIING:
The location of our property is an ideal attraction throughout the whole year, because our tiny village is situated 10 minutes from the closest beach (Xylokastro), but also 40 minutes from the closest ski resort (Trikala Korinthias, 1.600m-2.376m). A special characteristic of our area is the intense alternation of scenery and altimeter in very short distances. 'Trikala' is one of the top cosmopolitan destinations the latest years, for winter season in Greece, where someone can choose between beginner's ski slopes with trainer, routes for advanced skiers, games for the children with sleds, even climbing at the highest point of the mountain "Ziria" through marked paths and whatever the choice will be, returning back to the beautifull cafeteria for a hot coffee or a hot chocolate, ends in the best way an extreme day.
