Pelion has a very attractive climate and every season has its own particular charm. It is most magical outside high season. Enjoy the wonderful “indian summer” in November - December! *Is Lafkos hot in the summer? Compared to many destinations in Greece, Pelion does not tend to be very warm in summer. Lafkos village is situated at a height of approximately 300 meters and the elevated parts of the village enjoy a wonderful fresh breeze on most summer days, creating a very pleasant temperature. It happens now and then that even in August one feels comfortable wearing a sweater in the evening. This local Lafkos phenomenon is quite different from the experience in coastal towns like the closeby town of Milina, where airconditioning is necessary most of the summer, especially in concrete structures. This stone house, properly used, almost never needs airconditioning and a light breeze from the standing ventilators on warmer days is enough to ensure a comfortable sleep. Being a stone house with very thick walls, the house has a ‘sense of freshness’ which is often hard to find in modern concrete structures. The reason why the house nevertheless has airconditioning (installed in 2025) is to be compliant with Greek legislation. Guest access The house is completely yours to enjoy.
