ABOUT PELION
Experience the authentic culture of Greece in the absence of all the summer crowds with a stay in Mount Pelion and its cluster of charming little villages. Picturesque sceneries with traditional stone houses, small rivers and lakes, countless mountainous snow-covered villages, ski centers and many more will offer you the most unforgettable holiday experiences you could ever imagine. An all-year-round destination that combines mountain and sea, Pelion is located at a hook-like peninsula in Central Greece between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea and just a few minutes away from the busy town of Volos. Beautiful landscapes of olive groves and dense forests, snow capped peaks and slopes and breathtaking views of the surrounding area and nearby sea await you.
Twenty-four picturesque villages create the cluster of Mount Pelion and the most well-known are Makrinitsa, Portaria, Milies and Tsagarada. They are built amphitheatrically and still retain their traditional stone architecture with imposing mansions, grey stone roofs, elegant houses and paved paths. Holidays in Pelion are the perfect time to try outdoor activities like hiking, trekking, horseback riding and of course skiing. For those who love history, Mt. Pelion is where great myths were born and also home of the mythical Centaurs, creatures who were half man and half horse.
