Pelekas offers its guests all possibilities for a pleasant and varied holiday, far away from mass tourism. Here you experience the daily life of the Greek population, especially in the mountains, between olive groves and cypress trees. Here the clocks seem to run slower than elsewhere.
The various brightly-painted houses and narrow streets seem quaint and romantic. Restaurants and cafes are simple and small. Small supermarkets and shops also guarantee the daily supply of travellers. Even night owls come in Pelekas at your expense. When the sun goes down, the mood rises in the village and it is celebrated.
The small mountain village of Pelekas was traded until 25 years ago, as an insider tip among hippies. The beach was completely undeveloped, the place all original. It is over now, but a little of that flair is still preserved in Pelekas.
Pelekas always attracts regular guests again and again to enjoy the peace and quiet of the village and the beautiful beaches of the area. Especially artists, where the cozy and serene atmosphere in the small, mostly family-run tavernas, restaurants and Cafés, surrounded by olive trees and cypresses, far away from mass tourism, do not want to miss..
