Departs London Gatwick - 22nd May 2020

Lagou Raxi (pronounced ‘Rahi’) is a stylish new country hotel situated on the edge of the picturesque and unspoilt village of Lafkos high amongst the green rolling hills of south Pelion. It is a wonderful location for walkers and for those who love a view, as the hotel has gloriously sweeping views over the Pagasitic Gulf.

The hotel has 20 rooms, family rooms and suites. Completed to a high modern standard, each room has its own character and decor. All possess double or twin beds (four-posters in some Junior suites), bath or shower, mini-fridge, ceiling fan, tea-making facilities, TV, room safe and sea, garden or pool views. Junior Suites and Suites have a balcony or terrace - a balcony for Standard rooms is on request. Hairdryers can be provided on request from reception. Some rooms can combine via a removable balcony divider, and some are adapted for the disabled.

Below is the good-sized swimming pool (towels provided). The hotel has a restaurant (home grown organic local produce), tennis court, library, a cozy lounge bar, beautiful Mediterranean gardens and terraces.

A 5-10 minute walk brings you to the heart of Lafkos where you will find five tavernas. With a car you are well placed for exploration of beautiful south Pelion - and the fact that the hotel's rooms are individually named after different local beaches tells you that you'll need a 3 week stay to get around every one!

Flights and transfers: Clients flying from Gatwick have a choice of transfer arrangements on arrival. The default option is fly to Volos and drive from there in your hire car (included in the price). The drive takes c 2-2.5 hours and is very scenic. Alternatively, for a supplement of £65 pp you can fly via Skiathos, transfer to Koukounaries beach (20-30 mins) and take a 30 minute shared water-taxi (not recommended for the infirm) across the strait to the small SE Pelion port of Platanias, where your car will be waiting for the 20 minute drive to your accommodation. This routing means you should reach your accommodation c 2-2.5 hours earlier than flying via Volos, and not have a long drive to face after your flight. If you book online we can easily change the outbound flight and transfer arrangements for you - please contact us with your booking reference. Departure flight is from Volos in the afternoon.
