Small village.Big mountain.
Kokkinopilos is where it all starts: the mountain on the doorstep, the square under the old plane tree, conversations that go on late into the night, and the people who make it home.
This site is our way of sharing a bit of that with you: what to see and do, where to stay, how to walk the mountain safely, and the history behind it all.
