Megalochori
For couples and travellers who enjoy a village square, cafes and a vineyard setting
The square and church towers give Megalochori its village centre. Cobbled paths introduce local houses and architecture, with vineyards and wineries in the surroundings. Symposion Cultural Centre offers another reason to build time here beyond a stroll and a meal.
Consider it if you enjoy village outings, cafe stops and wine as part of the holiday. We would choose accommodation by its connection to the square and your intended evening route. Build the days between village time, island visits and separate trips to the shore.
Plan beach transport when comparing properties. If walking straight out to black sand leads your wish list, look at Perivolos too. Check visiting arrangements for a winery or Symposion on your actual dates.
Our tip
In Megalochori, compare the route to the square and cafes, then plan beach outings. Check visiting arrangements if a winery or Symposion is on your itinerary.
