Mountains, sea and warm hospitality from November to March
Xylokastro in winter combines a mild coastal climate with access to a ski resort just 45 minutes away. Temperatures along the seafront rarely drop below 8°C, while the snow-covered peaks of Mount Ziria begin only a few kilometres south. The beaches, free of summer crowds, become perfect for long walks by the sea. Accommodation, dining and activities run at lower prices, with no queues and no need to book weeks in advance. Winter in Xylokastro is not off-season -- it is an entirely different, more authentic experience of Corinthia.
Ziria Ski Resort sits at an altitude of 1,600-2,100 metres, just 45 minutes by car from Xylokastro.
