Where to Stay near Pelopi
There’s not much to book directly in Pelopi. The practical base for this part of the island is Mantamados, a short drive away. Stay there and treat Pelopi as a stop on a day out.
Time a visit around 11 June if you want to see the village feast, and confirm current church access locally at other times.
