Xylokastro | Visit Corinthia

XylokastroExplore the area — sights, beaches, flavours & local businesses

Xylokastro lies roughly halfway between Athens and Patras, where the Corinthian Gulf meets the mountains. Its trademark is Pefkias, a rare pine forest that reaches down to the shore — perfect for walks and summer shade. Behind the town, mountain villages such as Trikala and Riza, together with nearby Lake Doxa, offer year-round escapes.
