The SUP frenzy prevails everywhere, especially in Xylokastro and Evrostini! Our municipality boasts a vast coastline, providing ample opportunities for water sports. On days when the sea is inviting, SUP takes the spotlight! You'll see people of all kinds, sports enthusiasts, and non-sports enthusiasts alike, embracing their coveted boards and balancing on the water. Kids will be playing, experimenting with new tricks. Furthermore, a recent trend has started, SUP Yoga, as the name suggests, involves practicing Yoga on a SUP board.
If you see the sun high in the sky and the temperature in the red, turn off the air conditioning, put on your swimwear, and let the SUP boards shine! It's time for the beach.
-
You've probably seen them too. I am talking about the small fishing boats in Xylokastro and Derveni marinas, the ones constantly coming and going. “Did you have a good catch, my friend?”, you ask the fishermen. And depending on the look, you can tell a lot. If you have your own small boat, you can contact the Municipality and anchor it for a specific fee.
If you're not one of the permanent sea-goers, ask a local fisherman if they're interested in company. One thing is certain, you'll be rewarded with the tranquility of the sea and who knows, maybe a good catch!
-
Indeed, the sea creates waves. You'll find them in Xylokastro from the dozens of boards when the wind decides to show its teeth.
It's a fact that the wind in our area is quite strong. It blows a lot, and then the water raises enormous waves, stirring the seaweed and “upsetting” the marine organisms for days. After that, when it has calmed down, the weather becomes serene again. But what do you do during these hours or days when it's blowing hard and loud? You, with your board and kite as an extension of your body, probably already know.
Our region is suitable for maneuvers in the water, and athletes in these specific sports know it very well. You will usually find them near the old sports field and the boundaries of Kamari - Xylokastro.
-
We won't list our “unmarked” hiking trails – yes, there are plenty, and they're located in almost every mountain village. Instead, we will focus on the routes that have been carved and marked. These are nature trails, some more challenging than others, with varying degrees of walking. Depending on the season and weather conditions, each route may require different types of equipment. Some are "blind" trails, others are circular, some are moderate, and some are of low or high difficulty. They will lead you to ancient caves, unique landscapes, and paths of breathtaking beauty.
The mapping of them all is in progress, so the best thing to do is ask the locals. They will share all the popular applications that will give you extensive information for anything you wish to know.
-
Are you some king of the rock? Welcome to Kallithea’s Gorge or the “Agios(meaning Saint, in the Greek language) Loukas Gorge”. This is an extremely demanding canyon, with a difficult route and a challenging descent. You can easily access it from the village called “Elliniko” specifically from the path right behind St. Loukas’ church. At the beginning, you will encounter an easily accessible, marked trail that will lead you to the natural pools. It is piece of cake, no matter if you are a sports enthusiast or not. A bit further, the difficulty intensifies, and the adventure turns into canyoning for those familiar with the sports.
The experience of descending the entire canyon is offered by certified companies, and you can also find groups of experienced athletes who descend it individually!
-
Summer or winter, spring or autumn? Whenever it is that you prefer your swims, our seas are crystal clear and invite you to experience the ultimate serenity that sea offers you. Sometimes it seems like a crystal clear and calm pool, and other days our sea is only for the brave ones who want to wrestle with the wind. Sometimes you can easily perform tricks in the water, and other times you take a breath until the next wave comes.

Is there a shipwreck in Xylokastro?” many asked us. And indeed, there is, we responded. The source of truth was recently revealed to us by our fellow resident, Mr. Vasilis Siorfanes, who, through one of his YouTube videos, provided information regarding a forgotten shipwreck near the pineforest of Pefkias.
Mr. V. Siorfanes conducted a scuba dive to the vessel that sank in our region in 1964, an exploration that gave way to another maritime "visit" and yet another video on YouTube from another group of maritime... explorers!
So, if you love scuba diving, a trip to the open waters of Pefkias, at around 46 meters deep, is what you're looking for. And who knows? You might even find Ariel or other mermaids who adore our pine forest!
