The picturesque seaside town of Xylokastro in the Peloponnese region of Greece offers beautiful beaches, the famous pine forest Pefkias, the Church of Vlasios, skiing, lovely restaurants, among many other things.
During my recent trip to Xylokastro we began our day by meeting with the Mayor. He assured us this would be one of the most beautiful areas of our Corinthian Riviera tour. It is certainly beautiful but I was blown away at how much there was to offer. In fact, Lonely Planet voted the Peloponnese area one of the top places in Europe to travel in 2016.
