Xylokastro, on the Corinthian golf, is picturesque small-town Greece at its best, with an ideal mix of mountain scenery and endless sands. Home to the emblematic Pefkias pine forest, which runs right through town, and a stone?s throw from such archaeological treasures as Corinth, Delphi and Olympia, the location also enjoys easy access from Athens. This is a cosmopolitan place rich in variety - being close to the rugged mountains of Trikala, the visitor can ski during the morning, sunbathe in the afternoon and visit the casino at Loutraki at night.
The excellent communications and infrastructure of this lovely town make it a very attractive place to invest in buy-to-rent apartments. New developments within 200 metres of the beach include Elena Court, with one-bedroom apartments at about 86,700?. Or for as little as 25,000? a legal building plot of about 500 sq metres can be acquired ten kilometres from Xylocastro, in the lovely hills north of Peloponnese. Ski property in the snowy mountains also offers lucrative returns on investments.
