Unterkünfte in Lefokastro

We visited Lefokastro, and trust us, there’s a lot to tell you. This small coastal village on the southwestern side of Pelion isn’t trying to be anything other than what it is: a spot where you can completely slow down and find beauty in the little things.

The vibe here is relaxed, almost like time has forgotten this part of the peninsula. There are five beaches, each offering its own kind of charm. Agia Efimia is probably the most well-known—small, quiet, with pebbles and crystal-clear waters. It’s perfect if you just want to float around and let the sun warm you. Razi Beach is ideal for snorkeling; the rocky seabed hides a whole world of underwater life. Gourna Beach feels almost private, tucked away with its mix of sand and stones, while the two smaller coves nearby feel like they’re yours alone on most days.

Food in Lefokastro is a pleasant surprise. While you won’t find the usual tourist-trap dishes here, what you will get is a more personal touch. Stefanos Taverna is where you want to go for the freshest fish—caught just that morning, grilled simply, with a squeeze of lemon. The place feels like your friend’s backyard, casual and welcoming. For something a bit different, Ninemia has a more modern twist. They take local ingredients and give them a creative spin. Think sea bass with a beetroot purée or a salad with wild greens, fresh figs, and goat cheese from the neighboring farms.

Accommodation in Lefokastro is mostly small apartments, villas, and holiday homes, blending into the landscape rather than towering over it. The best part? Many places are just steps away from the water, so your morning swim is never far away. If you want to explore a bit more, head to Argalasti for its lively Saturday market, full of local produce, or Afissos for a bit of shopping and a vibrant night scene.

Lefokastro isn’t a place that shouts for attention. It’s for those who want to escape the crowds, appreciate good food, and find a rhythm that matches the waves on the shore. It’s about the slow, easy days that stay with you long after you’ve left.
