Relaxing Pefkias holidays invite you to explore a rustic playground of hillside trails and lush island views.
Sitting just above the island capital of the Greek island of Skopelos, Pefkias is a peaceful place where Mother Nature has free rein. The name, which means 'pine tree' in Greek, is fitting – the region is blanketed by forest-clad hills peppered with the occasional chapel, olive grove or bubbling spring.
You’re never far from a beach on this striking Aegean coastline. Stafilos, a popular sand-and-pebble affair, is around a 10-minute drive away – as is the more laidback Velanio. Nearby fishing village Agnondas is also home to an attractive shingle strip, not to mention authentic Greek eateries.
Beaches aren't the only thing Pefkias has going for it. While the coastline is dotted with bays and grottos, inland you'll find shady groves bearing fruits and nuts. See if you can find one of the 4x4 paths that circle Mount Delphi – the highest point on the island – and wind your way down through the orchards.
