Rent a holiday apartment in Neo Petritsi

Renting a holiday apartment in Neo Petritsi is above all a location decision: the town lies on the eastern foothills of Mount Beles, near the Strymonas and the Strait of Roupel. If you would like to include this landscape and the local character in your stay, you can begin your accommodation search right here. If you want to combine several destinations in the wider area, you should consider the location of each excursion separately.

Neo Petritsi at the foot of Mount Beles

Neo Petritsi is a town in Greece and was the seat of the former municipality of Petritsi. The town was established as New Petritsi after the Greek community of Petritsi, which is now part of Bulgaria, relocated here following the Second Balkan War. This origin gives Neo Petritsi a clear historical connection that can be combined with its geographical location at the foot of Mount Beles when planning a trip.

Plan the mountain landscape and history separately

The Belles Historic Trail was a mountain race in Neo Petritsi in 2024, held on the southern slopes of the Kerkini-Beles mountain range. For a trip with an interest in mountain landscapes and history, Neo Petritsi may therefore be an interesting base. Fort Istimpei, however, is a separate destination approximately 16 km north of Neo Petritsi on Mount Beles. There is a small museum there about the history of the fortifications and the fighting in 1941. If you would like to include Fort Istimpei in your plans, you should consider it a nearby destination outside the town and choose your accommodation based on whether such excursions fit your travel itinerary.

Choose your accommodation after deciding on the location

Holiday accommodation in Neo Petritsi means choosing a location at the eastern foot of Mount Beles and near the Strymonas. This choice of location suits an itinerary that aims to include the landscape and local character; regional destinations remain geographically separate excursions. Whether you are looking for a holiday apartment, holiday home, or hotel can therefore depend on your preferred location and excursion plans.
