This was the "hardest" of all the magazines that we have created for other areas in Greece (www.wediscover.gr) with my friend Giannis Apostolidis. Hard because of the volume of information that this area has to offer. How could we fit all this beauty in a few pages? How could we describe its cultural landscape, actions and activities?

It has been a challenge, but I think we did well. I am handing in this piece of work so that the inhabitants of Volos and Pelion can (re)discover the place they live in and, of course, to spread the word about the place to all the Greeks and foreigners that are planning their vacations. This book is also a friend and a guide that will take you by the hand and guide you everywhere: to the city, the villages, the beaches, it will introduce you to creative people -only to some, since this place is full of them- it will cook for you recipes from Pelion you have never heard of, it will guide you through hotels, restaurants and shops so that you can have a great time, it will walk you through paths and reveal to you all the secrets of this magic mountain...

Special and well deserved thanks go to the people that have unconditionally contributed with their knowledge, their photos, their advice, as well as to the business owners that have made an “investment” with their sponsorship, so that nothing is missing from the equally realistic and beautiful capture of Volos and Pelion.

Enjoy the ride! S.P.

The "villages' path" will take you to some of the old routes that people from older generations used in order to connect between themselves and their villages, in an efficient way, thanks to the highly positive initiative of the Municipality of Volos that created signs with useful information in every village and road signs along the routes.

It begins from Volos, from Fytoko or from Aidonofolies and it successively passes through Makrinitsa, Stagiates, Portaria, Drakeia, Agios Lavrentios, Agios Vlasios, ending in Lechonia.

100 Years of Zagorin apples A whole century has passed since the 27th of October 1916, when 199 people from Zagora founded a cooperative under the name "Commercial Cooperative of Agricultural Products of Zagora". In 1985 the Cooperative entered a new phase in the organization of its business actions. Its name changed to “Agricultural Cooperatives' Union of Zagora Pelion”, the trademark was acquired and the distinctive logo was from then on present in every “Zagorin” apple making it unique. In 1996 the European Union recognized Zagorin apples with the label of Protected Designation of Origin allowing them to travel the world and conquer the international markets.

Nowadays, the Agricultural Cooperatives' Union of Zagora collects, conserves, packages and markets nearly 100% of the production of apples in the region (10000-15000 tn every year) as well as of the rest of the region's products, and constitutes one of the most important economic units in Magnesia.

It celebrates its hundredth birthday with new special products, using its famous apples as a basic ingredient, such as apple juice, apple chips and apple molasses from fyriki apple, everything Zagorin!

During the past two years, the city during Christmas has been a stunning sight! Its illuminations are perhaps the most spectacular in all of Greece. The Christmas village, tours in the streets with the tourist train, daily concerts at the marketplace, theatrical performances, musical happenings, celebrations with hot air balloons and fireworks. The points of reference for the events are the Temple of Saint Nikolaos, the town hall and, of course, the Argo, the symbol of the city which is illuminated and placed in a prominent position in front of the University.

The legendary ship, the name of which has been linked with Volos and Pelion, sails for its permanent port. The aim is to highlight a building - symbol, which will manage to coordinate all individual desires and symbolic versions for Argo and its trip, and to convey them in a single building set. Besides, Argo and its myth are linked with the area's civilization. The objective is that in the years to come, when anyone around the world hears the word "Argo", they will spontaneously link it with the place where its trip began. Exactly as it happens with the "gondola" of Venice.

Elena Kountoura The deputy Minister of Finance, Development and Tourism welcomes the publication of DISCOVER VOLOS PELION magazine, and talks about the competitive advantages of Volos and Pelion as a tourist destination, as well as for the state's support regarding the projection and promotion of the area, in international markets.

Greece is a global attractive destination, which offers endless choices and authentic vacation experiences to the millions of its visitors every year. In 2015, our country acquired for the first time a dynamic national tourist policy, which we designed and implemented directly, and which has already paid off, resulting in last year's record increase in international arrivals and revenues from tourism.

Through our policy, we constantly enrich and empower our unique tourist product. We have extended the tourist period, we highlight new Greek destinations, we promote thematic forms of tourism, we have opened new markets, we establish new direct flights, and we encourage new tourist investments of high added value.

We promote purposefully and dynamically the uniqueness of Greece abroad, as well as each destination's particular tourist identity.

Magnesia can steadily attract tourism throughout the year.

It constitutes a model of tourist development with unique and comparative advantages, which we seek to highlight even more. It is one of the few areas in Greece and the entire world, where the visitors can find themselves in less than half an hour from the mountain and the snow to the sea and swim in the blue waters of the Aegean and the Pagasetic Gulf.

It has excellent infrastructure and prospects to become a popular sea tourism destination. The port of Volos, the islands of the Northern Sporades and the wonderful coastline with one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, are offered for the attraction of cruise, yachting and luxury tourism visitors.

It also offers endless choices for activities in nature, which combine mountain and sea, and it may constitute a sports and training tourism center.

And of course, the rich mythology of the Mountain of the Centaurs, the unique architecture and tradition of Pelion, the warm hospitality of the people and the gastronomical identity of the area attract returning visitors from Greece and abroad. Regarding projection and promotion, we support Magnesia's attempt to get dynamically out in international tourism markets and to constitute a popular destination of inbound and domestic tourism.

Through your publication, we invite visitors, Greeks and foreigners, to discover the magic of Magnesia and the uniqueness of its destinations, during all seasons of the year.

A first acquaintance Volos is essentially a "new" city, which developed rapidly after its incorporation to the Greek state, in 1881. But this is not the case in terms of its history, which you have to go back 9,000 years to live or visit its archaeological sites, to see the wonderful findings in its archaeological museum, in order to learn about Iolkos, Dimitriada and the mythical journey of the Argonauts.

Its port, which has accumulated the commercial traffic of Thessaly and Pelion, its rail connection, the enhancement of its workforce since the arrival of the refugees of '22, evolved it into a significant industrial center of the country. The earthquakes of '55 interrupted its course and changed its architectural character; however, soon the city rebounded financially, while new buildings enriched its urban web.

Modern Volos may not be the prominent industrial center of the past, but it maintains several elements of it, its commercial operations, while the creation of the University of Thessaly and its selection as an Olympic city in 2004 renewed its infrastructure and urged its cultural movement. Its industrial buildings, which the city reclaimed in the best way by reforming them, in order to house services and actions, which are necessary for its development, constitute a valuable inheritance of the past.

The position of Volos at the center of Greece, its admirable town planning, the quality of life that is rarely encountered in cities of this dynamics, enhance its selection as a robust proposal at tourism level.

At the same time, it does not cease to constitute the entry gate towards the beautiful mountain of the Centaurs and the islands of the North Sporades.

The air connection of Volos with direct flights from and to large European cities, as well as the strategic position of its port, which every year welcomes many dozens of luxurious cruise ships, highlight even more its role in the promotion and forwarding of Greece's "tourism product".

Let us get to know the city better…

The mythic boat "Argo" with which Jason and all of his brave men travelled to «Colchis» to they bring the "golden fleece", was made from trees of Pelion, under the guidance of the goddess Athena... 35 centuries after the myth revived! The modern Argo was manufactured with the same specifications, tools and timber, observing all the rules of the ancient Greek shipbuilding that today make it a pole of international scientific and academic interest and thus it realized once again the mythic trip.

UNIVERCITY OF THESSALY Where there is a university campus, there is also life.

This is a rule. And in that, Volos has no complaint.

Since 1988, when Volos welcomed the first students, until today, tens of thousands of students have lived their best student life. Today's "lucky ones", about 11,000 students and 700 professors, live and breathe, moving around the University's facilities, which are centered in 5 areas. The Seafront Complex, where Administrative Services and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences are housed, the "Pedion Areos", where the School of Engineering is housed, in Fytoko of Nea Ionia, where the School of Agricultural Sciences is housed, "Matsangos" building, where the department of Economics will be housed, and the Central Library, in the area of Metamorfosi Church. The University of Thessaly also has schools in Larisa, Karditsa, Trikala and Lamia.

ÔSALAPATAS MUSEUM The rooftile and brickworks factory manufactured bricks and tiles from 1925 to 1975. Then it was deemed to become listed, and in 1994 it was bought by the Municipality of Volos, which subsequently restored the factory's buildings, aiming at the creation of a cultural multipurpose venue. In 2004, the Cultural Foundation of the Piraeus Group undertook the task to create an exemplary Rooftile and Brickworks Museum in the area of the main factory (5,000 sq.m.), which was completed in 2006. Today, in this wonderful Museum, you can see the stages of the production process, the machinery and the installations, in which the Hoffman furnace stands out (tel. +302421029844).

FRESH FISHES Small and medium-sized fishing has always been a source of income for the inhabitants of Volos.

Even today that the Pagasetic Gulf is not so "fruitful" as during old days, fishing boats and trawls go out into the sea at night in order to supply the market of Volos. If you happen to be opposite the Town Hall early in the morning, you will see a group of people running from one fishing boat to the other to buy the "best"!

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Volos has been an industrial city for a long period of time.

Factories were to be found everywhere. Tobacco industries and warehouses, mills, ceramics industries, electrical power production factories… During the passage of time, they were abandoned, until the actions of the municipal authority revived them, changed their use, and turned them into universities, museums, schools…, providing the city with architectural jewels, the aesthetics of which makes quite an impression, a valuable heritage for the future of the city.

ËÉÌÁÍÉ / THE PORT

Visit Volos / Valadis Kostas Papadopoulos

There is proof that the port of Volos has been functioning since 4000 BC. Besides, it is from this port that the legendary Jason sailed for Colchis on Argo. Nowadays, the port of Volos plays a leading role in various sectors: In the passenger transport sector, Volos is linked with the islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos, while in the trade sector it is the third largest port of Greece involved in the transporting of goods to many countries of the world. At the same time, due to its strategic position our port welcomes cruise ships with tourists visiting the natural and archaeological "treasures" of the greater area. The port facilities also include a permanent mooring site for many recreational boats.

Argonafton Street. The famous waterfront of Volos, the most beautiful walk throughout Greece, an exclusive privilege of pedestrians and bikers. With slow steps, as well as with more fast ones, jogging, cycling, an enjoyable route by the sea, among fishing boats and sailing boats on the one side, coffee shops and "tsipouradika" on the other side, and with a mild detour for extra romance along the breakwater… But also with unavoidable maneuvers for greetings (the first time) and eye blinking (the next), since everyone will pass from here sometime!

The participants trained for several hours at Panthessaliko Stadium, in order to be able to coordinate and rehearsals had a result. When the judges gave the green light for the recording of the effort to the Guinness records, there were delirious celebrations, while fireworks turned night to day.

The almost insignificant altitude differences, town planning, the residential character, which is translated into small distances, but mainly the culture of the inhabitants of Volos, have transformed the city to a cycling city, enjoying complete freedom throughout the waterfront, which crosses a large part of the city, as well as outside of it, in the specially formed cycling path, which reaches Alykes. In addition, cycling nights by the… "organized ones", who cross the entire city every Thursday, with music, communicating to the rest the obvious message, are not rare. Leave the car, get on the bicycle.

We would need a lot of pages in order to describe the "cultural activities" of the city. The municipal core is undoubtedly the Municipal Organization of Children Education, Sports and Culture - Municipal Regional Theatre of Volos, which, as implied by its name, spreads its "tentacles" in many sectors. Characteristically we only mention the Conservatoire, the School of Dramatic Arts, the Symphony Orchestra, the Young People's Orchestra etc. In them we can add the "Estoudiantina" Orchestra, the Theatrical Team of the University of Thessaly, the famous festivals, as the European Festival of Music etc. as well as the activities of many cultural associations and scientific institutions such as the Volos's Municipal Center for History and Documentation.

RAILWAY STATION The historical Station, created by the Italian engineer Evaristo de Chirico, remains the same from 1884 until today, and is one of the few buildings that were saved after the strong earthquakes that hit Volos during the '50s. Its elegance, its neoclassical line and its pitched roof with the wooden decoration on the outline make the building an actual architectural jewel for the city. On the first floor of the building, the Railway Museum of Thessaly operates. You will see old photographs, telegraphs, station clocks, costumes of the era, ticket booths, machine accessories, archives, books on railway architecture, as well as the original designs of Evaristo de Chirico.

PARK OF SCULPTURES

The city's "hideaway" is located at the Anavros park, after Domotel Xenia hotel.

A beautiful area for walks and romance, among elaborate sculptures and the representation of a Neolithic settlement. The beach for swimming is close by, and over the park you can find the archaeological museum.

THE FAMOUS TSIPOURADIKA The "institution" was initiated by the refugees from Asia Minor, who settled in Volos after the exchange of 1922, and mainly by those who worked at the sea and the port. At noon, after work, they gathered at the coffee shops of the port and drank their "tsipouro", which they accompanied with "meze", always served in small plates.

Today, everyone, without social distinctions, responds to the calling of "tsipouro with meze" which has somewhat lost its accompanying element and in many events evolves to a regular lunch or dinner. Volos has more than 400 "tsipouradika" dispersed in every corner.

And since such a habit is worth of… a Guinness prize, the biggest "tsipouro drinking" of the world has been scheduled for August! A one-kilometer "table" will be set on the waterfront of Volos, where ouzo and tsipouro producers of Thessaly will offer their products, while "accompanying" meze will consist of the delicacies that characterize each Municipality of Thessaly. So much fun!

One of the achievements of the course of the city through time, was also the creation of two athletic associations, which were destined to be identified so much with daily routine and the existence of a significant group of people that they became a reference point for the decades to follow. Popular ‘Olympiakos’, the pampered child of the townsmen of Volos, and ‘Niki’, which emerged from the ashes of Asia Minor like a phoenix from its ashes. The love of their people is their motivating power in order to continue their course.

The unceasing presence of man in the area, already since the Neolithic era, is documented by significant findings…

In Sesklo you will see the Neolithic settlement over the "Kastraki" hill. It is one of the oldest in Europe and was inhabited for the first time in the mid-7th millennium. (Tel. +302421085960, +302421095172). In Dimini, the Neolithic settlement with the six concentric stone-built yards from the end of the 5th millennium. In 1980 a significant Mycenaean settlement was discovered, which is identical to Iolkos, Jason's homeland. The imposing vaulted tomb, which is also known as "Toumpa" stands out. (Tel. +302421085960). In Ancient Dimitriada, one of the biggest cities of antiquity, which was founded by Dimitrios Poliorketes (the "Besieger") in 194 B.C., the theatre, the mansion, the Iroon, the relics of the Roman aqueduct, which are known as "teeth", the walls and the acropolis. (Tel. +302421076278, +302421088091).

Other significant archaeological findings are located at Mikrothives (Thives of Fthiotida), Nea Anchialos, Velestino (Feres), the Hill of Goritsa over Volos, Pefkakia (Nileia), Pagases and Soros (Amfanes).

A spectacle that will amaze you! At any time of day or night. From every "angle" that you may see it. Countless small diamonds, embroidered in a masterful way, embracing the sea and trying to climb the mountain. This is a unique experience that you should not miss.

The Chamber is the main Body for the promotion and enhancement of entrepreneurship.

During these difficult financial conditions that our country is experiencing, our efforts become even more intense and essential, so that we can actually contribute to the protection and development of all the business sectors of our Prefecture.

Lately, the Chamber of Magnesia is moving with very coordinated actions, in order to enhance the tourist product of our Prefecture.

Besides, this has always been the Administration's concern, however the increase of tourist inflow to our country during the last few years in combination with the

President of Magnesia Chamber

establishment of the significance of tourism as development "flagship" in Greece, have made this need more imperative. Our presence in international tourism exhibitions, as well as in more specialized meetings of international level, and our initiative in collaboration with the Hoteliers Association, in order to enhance the airport of Nea Anchialos to Central Greece Airport, and, of course, the coordination of local bodies for the enhancement of cruises in our port, are actions, which both find response and bring about results. We hope that we will soon be able to announce even more actions.

It may sound as a clich? to some people, but the reality is this: we are fortunate to live in an

actually blessed land. It has so much to offer in so many fields, and it is the duty of us all, as citizens and as business owners, to accomplish that, so our area gets the place it deserves.

In this spirit, on behalf of the Chamber of Magnesia, we salute DISCOVER VOLOS PELION magazine. It is fortunate this magazine has been created by a group of professionals, who have experience, knowledge, creativity, and, mostly, love for our land, and for this rea-

As a follower of the synergy of "we can do this all together", with my main motto all these years being "Tourism is everyone's issue", I am surrounded by sentiments of satisfaction when I hold excellent work, such as the DISCOVER VOLOS PELION magazine, and I see that there are local powers that can make the difference.

This beautiful place of Magnesia, with the mythical mountain of the Centaurs, the Homeland of the Argonauts, and the magnificent islands of the Northern Sporades, has been receiving votes of confidence for years now from millions of visitors who keep returning. Our visitors, our great power, have experiences, which, in their majority, are unique, since the characteristics of the diversity of a tourist product, accompanied by multiple services, are intense in our place.

Our setting, Natura areas, ecological interest areas, legends, our culture, our civilization, our history, from the Stone Age until nowadays, are the best marks for someone to trust us and our certification that we offer them with a smile and with good mood.

GIORGOS ZAFIRIS

Chairman of the Hoteliers Association of the Prefecture of Magnesia

"The hotel dynamic of onshore Magnesia consists of about 270 hotels, which address all visitor categories and all "wallets". Our visitors enjoy an island in onshore Greece. This is what Pelion is like. In 15 minutes, they can reach the mountain from the sea and vice versa. They can select a hotel accommodation at a mountain destination for their winter expeditions, ski, taste the traditional "Greek Breakfast", which is certified by the Hotel Chamber of Greece, and it is produced with local products, as well as take gastronomy courses. For more active people, Pelion is offered for alternative activities, such as hiking, canyoning, canoeing, mountain biking, as well as sailing and scuba diving for sea lovers.

During the summer, Pelion becomes an attraction for couples who wish to celebrate their wedding on the beach or at the square of a village… Thus, value for money is created, since many of the above services are offered by hoteliers themselves.

The Association's motto is "we can do this all together". For this reason, our marketing plan is based on targeted moves, such as collective participation in tourist exhibitions, communications through radio spots before each exhibition, as well as follow up actions with organization for familiarization trips in our area.

From this position, I would like to congratulate everyone who has contributed to the creation of this very well written publication, both with texts and with photographic material. As a communications specialist, I believe that the depiction of our area has been imprinted in the best way possible".

The promotion of the cultural dimension of the city of Volos is a primary objective for the Municipality. Education, athletics and culture are co - operating to preserve, to enhance and to spread the tangible and intangible culture heritage, the contemporary culture and the creative power of our city. The latest educational theory and act are applied from our sectors for preschool and arts education to create citizens with the required skills to support and preserve the high culture level of our region.

Sports and cultural events are aiming to the local population and meet their needs, but these events are aiming to the promotion of Volos as a destination of sports and cultural tourism. This increasing of tourism flows that is achieved by the alternative tourism, sets the basis for the creation of conditions for the development of creative economy and innovation.

We try with great intensity to build for the city an urban environment and social milieu capable to meet the needs and to exploit the opportunities for the emergence of Volos as a modern European city with future and optimistic perspectives.

ROUTE 1: The coastal part.

ROUTE 2: The centre of the city.

ROUTE 3: District of "Palia".

ROUTE 4: Nea Ionia.

In these routes we will see the elements that give the profile of the city's past and the formation of its current identity.

ROUTE 1: THE COASTAL PART We start from Riga Feraiou square (22) where is found the building of the Town Hall (23) designed based on the Pelioritic architecture. You can visit it and have a ÂŤpictureÂť of how Volos was through the course of history, through important works that are exhibited. Exactly opposite is the Municipal Theatre (24) and its open stage. You will also see the statue of Rigas Feraios and the Holocaust Monument to the memory of the Jews, victims of the Nazis.

We are going toward the sea and we follow the part of seafront that was formed under the Olympic Games of 2004. We get to the entrance of the passenger port (32), where in the beautiful small park you will see the bronze model of Argo (34). Here starts the central part of the seafront (33) with the cafeterias and the restaurants one next to the other, while tens of yachts give the picture of a cosmopolitan island. Volos' seafront is the main area for entertainment and taking a walk for residents as well as for the visitors. We pass the neoclassic building of the Bank of Greece (35) with the

impressive columns built in 1935 and next to it is the cinema and theatre "Achillion" (36), built in 1925. A little further we see the University of Thessaly (48), built in 1926 and it used to be a tobacco warehouse. Right in front of it the statue of "Ethnikis Antistasis" (National Resistance) (49) and the bridge that leads to the seawall (50), where it is worth taking a walk.

From there starts the park of Agios Konstantinos (52) that leads to the homonymous church (54). We pass the hotel "Domotel Xenia" and we get to the other big park of the city "Anavros" (55), where are exhibited works of modern sculpture and a representation of a Neolithic settlement. The park ends to the swimmers beach (61), where just before is the Archaeological Museum (57) which was built in 1909 and exactly next to it is the Hospital (58). You can continue to the church of "Panagia Trypa" (62), built inside a rock. Then you can visit the Athletic Centre of Volos (63) and continue walking uphill to Goritsa hill, at the top of it is the church of Zoodochos Pigi (64). From there you will have a unique view of the city and just before it is the archaeological site. On the way back you can visit the Folklore Centre of Kitsos Makris (59), and the house - museum of the painter Chrysoula Zogia (60).

ROUTE 2: THE CENTER OF THE CITY We start from the church of Aghios Nikolaos (38) that is the Metropolitan church of Volos, which was rebuilt in 1933, at the position of the older one, with the marble belfry and the beautiful churchyard. Around the church there are many coffee shops (40).

The pedestrian road of Ermou (39) is the main axis of the commercial market and it is intersected by vertical pedestrian roads where also are many shops.

Reaching to the street of El. Venizelou, walk uphill to see Eleftherias (Freedom) Square (43), which is one of the oldest ones of Volos, and which is linked with the city's history, particularly during the Occupation, where many patriots were hanged. Right across is the Courthouse (44), which was established in 1901 and started to operate in 1920. It is worth walking two more streets up to the pedestrian street of Riga

ROUTE 3: DISTRICT "PALIA" "Palia" is built on the top of a hill that was first inhabited in the prehistoric era. In the medieval era a wall was built round the area and became a Castle that stayed up to the end of the Ottoman rule. Here it was the old city of Volos.

We start from the Info Center (03) where you can take information and moving on the Lachana street where we see parts of the Castle's Wall (10). We are already in the Multi-purpose building of "Tsalapata" (11) a marvelous Museum of industrial history. In the same area there are entertainment shops. A little further there is the church of Agii Theodori (08), the first church that was built after the liberation of Volos in 1881, and right below, the Museum of the city of Volos (07).

Getting to Labraki street you will see various ancient discoveries (05). Nearby is the square of "Syntrivani" (04), and various entertainment shops. From Papadiamanti street we get to the railway station (20), a landmark building in the history of Volos, since 1884 with exceptional architecture which makes it one of the most picturesque buildings of the city. There operates a museum. At the entrance of the station you will see the statue of Athena, the oldest sculpture of Volos.

ROUTE 4: NEA IONIA The Asia Minor Catastrophe of 1922 brought thousands of refugees to Greece. Several of them came to Volos and settled in the "interior" of the city. The evolution of this settlement is today's Nea Ionia. Nowadays, Nea Ionia is a city on its own, having the Krafsindonas stream (13) as a natural border with Volos, and it was an independent Municipality before its union with the Municipality of Volos. You can walk along the stream in the linear park, in order to see the building of Metaxourgeio (Silk Factory) (17), which was reformed in 1924 and has been transformed in the PreWar Silk Mill Museum, the Mourtzoukos building (18), with the characteristic sawtooth roof, an old Textile Factory, which was founded in 1908 and it now houses some schools. You will also see the temple of Evangelistria (14), the first church of the refugees, which was founded in

1923. The heart of "Synoikismos" (Settlement) was beating in the small streets around the church. Small houses, one stuck with the other, which were separated by side streets, in many of which you could barely fit to pass. Houses and hearts one near the other. This is the area where the National Resistance Museum is also located. A little higher you will find the Cultural Park (15), and a little lower, the Panthessalic Stadium (16), which was constructed for the Olympic Games of 2004. Smells from mothers' kitchens, flowered yards, housewives sitting on pavements and discussing, groups of friends drinking their tsipouro with or without anise.

"Have a seat, so that we can buy you a twenty-five", someone will shout.

Besides, this is where the "habit" that added another "plus" to Volos began.

Collaboration between state and local government, with associations and unions for the tourist projection of Magnesia, and the creation of a united and friendly business setting, will contribute to further quality services at affordable prices, which constitutes the best way of promotion and development!

A typical example is the development of an organized promotion plan of the tourists who visit us with the dozens of cruise ships that arrive at the port of Volos, both to our beautiful villages and to the heart of the market of Volos".

Dishes that honor Greek gastronomy, without missing international influences, such as from the Italian and French cuisine, as they are seen by the modern eye of Stratos Plomaritis. His menu satisfies even the most demanding customers, from "kleftiko" lamb, pork and beef shank, fillets with plums and chestnuts (our favorite), stuffed cabbage leaves, shrimp spaghetti, as well as fresh fish. The setting is amazing, flooding warmth during the winter, while in the summer, tables are spread on the spacious pavement under the shadow of the trees, with a view to the archaeological site.

PELION: ‘The magic mountain’ It is pointless. No matter how much you try to avoid cliches in its characterization, the phrase comes out spontaneously. There is no other place in the world that combines so much harmony in the beauty of the mountain and the sea, that shares generously and fairly everything with everyone, that causes sensation and soul uplift at every corner. Pelion is God's "apology" to man for the Paradise that He took back from him.

The most densely populated mountain of Greece seems to spring out straight from the sea. From its creation, it has been inhabited by gods, demigods, Centaurs, Dryads, Nymphs, "Giants" and "Titans". It was here where Asclepius was educated on medicine, where Achilles was born from the marriage of the mortal, Pelaeus, with the Nereid, Thetis, where Paris chose Venus, the goddess of Love. From Iolcos, located at its foothills, Jason left for the trip to Colchis on the ship, Argo. Pelion was chosen by the gods of Olympus, way before us, for their summer residence…

The natural beauty of Pelion, fascinates, with fundamental element the water that springs up from inside the mountain, flowing in torrents, forming various waterfalls that fertilize the earth, which, in return, reciprocates by constantly 'giving birth" to all of nature's goods, and weaving at the same time an impenetrable veil of green forests that cover it entirely all the way down to the sea.

Pelion is a "living" mountain. Its houses are made of materials from the same environment and are completely part of it.

You will see hostels that carry within them all the art of the craftsmen of Epirus who were the first to build them, and were to be renovated with respect by their later owners. You will walk through its cobblestone streets that once were the only means of transport and communication for the residents. You will pass over stone bridges and drink water from the innumerable fountains scattered along your way. You will visit the monasteries (Pelion used to be called "the mountain of cells") and the many churches and chapels built centuries ago to warm the souls of the believers. These monasteries host masterpieces of painters, hagiographers and wood-carvers. You will discover what real organic farming is by tasting various unique flavors. And when you arrive at one of its many famous beaches, you will see that the photos do not do justice to the real beauty!

Pelion is a righteously structured "book". Each season is another chapter with its own unique beauty. Each place has a separate unity. It was praised by poets and intellectuals alike. Even since antiquity, Homer called Pelion "einosifyllon" (in order to describe the image of the fluttering leaves as the wind blows through its dense forests). Here, enlightened people founded important schools of "higher education," Locals who immigrated away adored it and gave their properties for the good of their land. The death toll of the Pelion patriots was high during the fight for the liberation of the Greeks.

Pelion is not simply a tourist destination. It is the myth, the history, the tradition that is carried in the winds "from end to end," Makrinitsa, Zagora, Tsagkarada, Milies, Trikeri and all the other villages. It is the walks through its paths that alert the senses in order to hear the gallop of the Centaurs. It is the songs and the dances of the "Pelioritic Wedding," the ritual features of nature's worshiping and the Dionysian atmosphere of "Maides". The traditions and customs are not simply a tourist attraction in Pelion, they are assimilated within the life of the residents. Even a ride with the "Moutzouri" train, becomes an initiation, a journey through time. Pelion is an escape, as well as an exploration of the myth, the history and the culture. The fierce and peaceful Pelion, ideally balanced, always exists along the measures of man and a paradise for the lovers of nature. That's the Pelion we present to you, exploring it from end to end. Walk through it, listen to it, experience it. Your choice will be rewarding!

63 Traditional villages …and now you will ask: "Which should I visit?"

How can you distinguish from so much beauty? How can you select from so much diversity? After all, how can you set aside emotions and personal experiences?...

If you want the "famous" ones, Makrinitsa, Portaria, Tsagkarada, Zagora, Milies, Agios Ioannis, Argalasti; a name is not randomly built through the passage of time.

If you want to "hide" and also be in the center of action, and have everything close by, Agios Georgios of Nileia, Agios Lavrentios. If you want sunsets and relaxed situations, Milina, Horto, Trikeri. If you want a crowd, Kala Nera, Afissos. If you want to get to know "discreet" Pelion, Kissos, Lafkos, Drakeia, Afetes, Neochori, Kalamaki. If you want to travel back in time, Pouri, Promyri, Agios Vlasios, Kerasia. If you want to admire stone houses, Pinakates, Vyzitsa… Whatever you want, it is here!

Impressive architecture, picturesque squares, mansions, stone cobbled roads, warmth, romance and smells await you wherever you go. And if you want numbers, Pelion's villages are 63, and we present them in pages 124-263, besides the dozens of small and large settlements.

Just begin; a unique experience awaits you!

Pelion's beaches This is not a mountain…, it is an "island"!

How else can you explain the 200-kilometer coastline and over 80 beaches, many of which remind of exotic destinations? Waters are turquoise, dark blue, clear or green, coasts have golden sand or white pebbles, imposing rocks, they are hidden behind dense vegetation, and they gaze at the endless blue of the Aegean or the calm waters of the Pagasetic Gulf. If, indeed, Pelion was an island, it would -also- be the most popular summer destination of Greece. *All beaches in pages (284 - 302).

Don't be surprised if you hear Abba music while walking in Damouchari. Several scenes of the movie, which was such a success, were shot at this exotic area of Pelion -as in Skiathos and Skopelos. Unfortunately, the wooden dock, where the fishing boat that transferred Meryl Streep's daughter, Amanda Seyfried, and where the village's women danced, lies at the bottom of the sea in order to remind the glare of publicity that surrounded Damouchari for two months. Fortunately, Meryl Streep's house (photo) is still there!

The "beacons" of Orthodoxy The religious sentiment of the inhabitants of Pelion is intertwined with their history, their culture and their life itself. Besides, this is evidenced by the hundreds of Christian monuments, which date from the 3rd century, ruins of old Christian temples, significant Byzantine monuments, small and humble chapels, monasteries -in which persecuted Greeks found refuge during the Turkish rule-, which take you centuries back, when monastic life flourished in the entire Pelion. And if it is not so much the religious sentiment, the particular architecture, the wonderful woodcut temples, the vaulted murals, as well as the hagiographies that adorn them, they are themselves a good reason to visit.

"Moutzouris" performed its first itinerary, from Volos to Ano Lechonia, in 1895, to reach for the first time the terminal station of Milies in the summer of 1903. Every day, it used to climb Pelion gasping, transferring people and merchandise till 1971, when it stopped operating. In the spring of 1996 "Moutzouris" returned fiercely with an updated machine. It begins from Ano Lechonia and passes through Ano Gatzea and the settlements of Ogla and Argyreika, to reach the terminal station of Milies after 15 km. There, its machine is turned manually for the return trip. The route is splendid, passing through ravines, streams, nine bridges -eight stone ones and one metal, De Chirico, to honor the Italian designer of the line- and two small tunnels. This is an unforgettable experience and a great omission for visitors who do not take the ride. It operates daily in July and August, and just during weekends from mid April till the end of June and from September till the end of October: From Ano Lechonia: 10:00 - From Milies: 15:00.

At the village's square The "pilgrimage" during every visit to a village of Pelion takes place at its square.

There are no words to describe the squares… each more beautiful than the other! All of them with the essential plane tree, the stone fountain, the coffee shops, the taverns, the bakeries, the grocery stores. And of course, the church, after which the square is usually named.

Everything there, around, at the "bazaar" as the inhabitants of Pelion call it. If you want to feel the beat of the village, to learn the news, to get acquainted with people, this is where you will start and end after your stroll, for coffee, tsipouro, and great food!

Looking for Centaur Chiron The most prudent, calm and wise of all Centaurs, Chiron had his "home" at Pelion. There, he taught the science of Medicine to Apollo's son, Asclepius. There, he also educated Achilleas, he raised legendary Jason, the leader of the legendary Argonautic expedition. Many villages of Pelion "claim" the famous cave. In any case, the largest and most imposing one is located in South Pelion, between Horto and Milina.

The ideal place for walks and hiking in a wonderful natural environment, adorned with very beautiful arched bridges and public springs (fountains). Several of the paths of Pelion were built during the 18th century, paved with stones (cobbled roads, "kalderimia" in Greek), and they constituted communication roads between the villages and the ports of Pelion. With the passage of time, many of them were destroyed or became forest roads, but some have been maintained in good condition until nowadays, they have been restored and marked, and they are included in the area's maps. National path 02, which begins from Mt. Olympus and reaches Zagora at Pelion, ends at the northern part of the mountain that borders with Mavrovouni. Nikos Charatsis was the first to record in his book "Pelion guide for hikers" 93 hiking routes, which cover the entire mountain.

You can also find descriptions of hiking routes online. You will find a depiction of the paths of Pelion on the map of Pelion, "ENTOS" Publications. (More in pages 278 - 283).

Mountain biking You cannot find such a biking terrain… not even in your dreams: Cobbled roads, paths, rural roads for every level and preference. From relaxed rides with company or with the family, up to mountain paths through beech trees and descends that make adrenaline rise.

Canyoning, i.e. descent in gorges, is considered for many fans of extreme sports, to be the best outdoor activity. Hiking among huge vertical rocks and within narrow crossings, height vertigo, rock descent (rappel) in a cascade using special equipment, diving in cool waters, constitute an authentic adventure for the pretentious, who seek intense experiences. Pelion is particularly ideal for the sport, with its beautiful gorges.

Sea kayaking The ideal proposal for water sports. You will become acquainted with deserted beaches, you will see caves, and you will feel like explorers. You can choose between single or double kayak, while it is not necessary to have previous experience. Just take your swimming suit, a hat, sunscreen, and a towel.

"Gourgouliana", fried or roasted, "Kalogerakia" or volites (i.e. porcini) for risotto, "Nerantzakia" (amanita caesarea), which can also be eaten raw with some garlic, and many more. Pelion is the paradise of mushrooms, and October is the best month for a rich "crop". Of course you should know before you attempt it, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises, since, as we all know, there are many "poisonous" ones. The best way for a safe harvest is to go mushroom hunting with someone from the village, who has special knowledge -making their hobby a systematic activity- and there are many people with such skills.

A dense network of forest roads covers Pelion, and is offered for explorations with 4X4 vehicles. In several of them, during the rainy months, the damage caused by water and the mud create the ideal scenery for the lovers of this motor sport. And if you are looking for… "more wild" situations, at Pelion you will find "masters" of the kind in order to participate in one of their excursions.

Experience the life of a farmer (even just for a while) Agrotourism and Ecotourism, intertwined concepts, are nothing more than the active contact with nature, plants and animals, agricultural activities, local gastronomy, fresh air, and warm hospitality. For instance, you can learn recipes of local sweets, and watch their production procedure by visiting the workshop of the area's women association, see a local winery, get to know up close the biggest apple association in the Balkans, "Zagorin". You can also collect olives, and see how olive oil is made, taking with you, as a "reward", a quantity of oil, get acquainted with the method of flower cultivation, learn about the botanical tradition of Pelion or visit a village house and get fresh eggs and milk. In a few words, you can become communicants of agricultural life, by experiencing an actual return -even though temporary- to the traditional way of life.

Get lost in the cobbled roads The authentic beauty of the villages of Pelion lies within. You have to walk through their stone-build "roads" in order to discover it. An elaborate wooden door, a flowery yard, a bushy bougainvillea that climbs on a stone wall, a mansion near an abandoned house, a fountain that will satisfy your thirst, the warm welcome of the inhabitants, are small rewards for every time you will get lost in a cobbled road or a dirt small path of the dozens that cross the village.

Shhhhh… the hidden Pelion Pelion's gifts are many. Some of them are hidden from the voracious glances of "tourists". To discover them, you will need to talk with the locals and ask them to tell you about the hidden corners of their village. This way you may become one of the lucky ones, who will discover Chondri Ammos, and will see in their way the "Ark of Noa" emerging in the forest, a boat-house, outside Milina, or you may sit on Napoleon's throne in Trikeri, worship Panagia of Rasova in Pouri, walk on the path of the Centaurs in Portaria, discover the cave of Panagia Megalomata in Tsagkarada, walk on the "kagkiolia" in Damouchari, see the haunted house in Lechonia, explore the cave of Centaur Chiron in Horto, swim at "loumparda" in Mourtias, see Kalokairinos waterfall in Zagora, "Panagiotiko" - the artificial lake - in Afetes, the bridge in Leschiani, the sea caves in Veneto… Pelion has many hidden places -and this is where its added value is-, so you will allow us to keep them this way, as they are, hidden. Discover your own, and if you want, share it with us (info@entosvolos.gr).

Many areas in Greece may claim the above expression, but only one deserves it! And this, not only because the landscape's changes will make you wonder "but, was it like this when I was last here?", but also because Pelion's tourist infrastructure is such that you will be served during all seasons. In Spring, nature blossoms at the lower parts, while there is still snow at the higher tops. In Summer, the mountain's green gives its place to the sea's blue. In Autumn, the word "melancholy" obtains another sense, putting in front of it the word "sweet". As for Winter, it keeps its heavy coat for other areas, since here it is mild, so much as the warmth of a burning fireplace to… make you feel warm.

Apart from the criterion of the seasons, it is worth experiencing Greek Easter at Pelion. Easter events with a scent of tradition. "Lazarines", small churches, a silent epitaph, which always ends at the square of each village. The "Resurrection" with devoutness, as well as fireworks, and an incredible Sunday in the nature, with the smell of the lamb invading all villages. For big and small celebrations, three-day escapes, weekend escapes or whenever you feel like it, Pelion is here, a firm value for you to choose!

PANAGIOTIS KOUTSAFTIS Mayor of Zagora - Mouresi “Eastern Pelion is an onshore destination, which resembles an island. The relief of its volume, the 80 nautical mile coastline, the organized beaches, as well as the inaccessible ones, its Ski Center, the planning of Pelion, the excellent quality of its waters (from the sea and springs), the capability to practice alternative forms of activities (canyons, sea, mountain and winter sports). In addition, the monuments and the networks of its paths, the traditional cuisine that you encounter in all nine of our villages.

The Municipality of Zagora - Mouresi presents excellent tourist interest, objectively and during all four seasons of the year. The individual destinations offer its stigma, such as for example Ai-Giannis, Tsagkarada, Damouchari, Chorefto, Agioi Saranta…

I would like to thank very much the editor of the magazine for the interest he is showing for the Municipality of Zagora - Mouresi. I know very well how much time and labor he has provided for this effort. The magazine will contribute significantly in turning our Municipality into a recognizable destination, both in the organized and the free tourism market. I wish good luck for the common good”.

The Villages of Pelion Central, southern, western, eastern… geography says. Municipality of Zagora - Mouresi, Municipality of Southern Pelion, Municipality of Volos… “Kallicrates” says. No matter how much it "suits" people, Pelion cannot be divided. The only excuse may be that so much beauty cannot fit in one unit.

Central Pelion: at the heart of the mountain Floating on the mountain, after having attracted your first glance towards Pelion, the villages that stand above Volos are now claiming your first visit. Famous Portaria is the "hosting lady", while Makrinitsa, the "balcony of Pelion", offers the best view to Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf.

Is this the right way to Central Pelion? If you have already entered Volos, you will reach the part of Iolkou street which goes up and ends up at the central road of Pelion. If you come from the ring road, you will follow the signs that say "Portaria" until you meet Iolkou street again. If you lose the intersection, at a small distance another road that passes through Alli Meria will lead you again to this central road of Pelion. For the "hasty" ones, at the end of Iolkou street, there is a small street to the left, which passes through Agios Onoufrios and through Koukourava, it ends up at Makrinitsa, but it has many and sharp turns. In any case, keep your eyes on the wheel, because the view of the city is seducing the way it unfolds… Make a stop and enjoy it!

Aghios Onoufrios It is a small picturesque village, the first one we meet when coming up from Volos. It is worth walking up to the village's square, by the road or by the path. There, you will see Zafiriou mansion, with its marvelous ceiling murals. The Krafsindonas stream, runs almost next to the houses and it will be a beautiful experience walking along it. On the way you will pass by a stone bridge and a small church, built into a rock.

Anakasia / Ano Volos We are already going up into Pelion and the statue of the mythical Centaur Chiron, in a turn of the road, welcomes us into these two very beautiful villages. They are literally located in the forest and the view of the city of Volos and the Pagasetic gulf is breathtaking. In Anakasia, it is worth visiting the village's square, the Museum of the folk painter Theophilos, the church of Agia Irene in the beautiful small square and further down you will find the central village church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, and the route through the beautiful paths will amaze you. In Ano Volos, you must visit the churches of Panagia and Agia Triada, in their respective squares which have a panoramic view. One of the most breathtaking walks is the one on the hill of Episcopes. There is located the church of Panagia built in 1639. In the past this area used to be a monastery but it has been destroyed. Ano Volos and Anakasia were the two places that the residents of Volos were moved to when the Turks chased them away in 1423.

Stagiates

Taking a bypass from the main road, after 2 km you get to Stagiates, built on the edge of a steep hillside. In the beautiful square with the big plane tree and the panoramic view of the city of Volos, you will find the church and an old fountain about which there is a story claiming that a sick woman once drank water from the fountain and was healed. Stagiates is also famous for its crystalline water as well for its very tasty traditional sausages that you must try! A little further up from the village there is a monastery, beside which the path to Makrinitsa begins.

Katichori

A little further up from Stagiates two of the exits from the main road lead you to Katichori. In the village there are 4 churches and many chapels, which all invite you to visit them and enjoy a magnificent walk. Follow the path "Iason", which leads to Portaria and visit the "Museum of Olive", an olive press with all the machinery which was used in the 19th century. In the summer the "Tsipouro Festival" takes place which has always been renowned from the past for its quality.

Portaria: its reputation precedes it Portaria experienced the most significant financial prosperity in entire Pelion, from the second half of the 18th century onwards, by means of silk cultivation and commerce. Being a tourist resort since pre-war years, it experienced an amazing growth when in 1908, the luxurious for its era "Mega Theoxenia" hotel, first operated and then other smaller ones followed. Since then, the tourist evolution of Portaria was inevitable.

This area of "particular natural beauty" will offer you a first taste of what Pelion is!

Portaria is one of the most famous villages of Pelion. The marvelous mansions, the well-looked-after paths, the natural environment, the exquisite view of Volos and the Pagasetic gulf, and its proximity (12 km) from the Ski Centre of Pelion, makes it a beloved destination for any season of the year. Its infrastructure in hotels and hostels is excellent, as well its services in food and entertainment.

The village underwent a large growth period at the end of the 18th century and its residents were praised worldwide for their excellence in the production of silk items.

Portaria's point of reference is its central square literally covered by plane trees.

That's where we are going to start our tour taking four different routes in order to get to know it better.

FIRST ROUTE: Below the square there are shops that sell local products, mainly traditional sweet preserves. Nearby there is the Town Hall building and next to it the Museum. Walking downwards, on your left, you will see the church of Agia Marina. From here you start wandering in the labyrinthian and very beautiful cobbled streets of the village. Going uphill, you see the church of Agios Georgios and further to your right, the church of Aghi Anargyri. After a short while you will meet the main road, where you will see the church of Agios Nikolaos (1856), the patron saint of Portaria with its exquisite brocaded temple (1884) and its impos-

ing bell tower. Exactly next to it is the small church of Panagia Portarea (13th century), what is left of the old monastery, around which Portaria was built and to which the name of the village is owed.

Further up is the primary school, and under the church of Agios Nikolaos you will find the outdoor theatre, in the "Adelfosynis" square. Walking down the street and passing through the parking area on the corner, you are back to your starting point.

SECOND ROUTE: Walking uphill into the square, you pass the "Spyridi" mansion where you see the "Athanasakio Kindergarten", one of the first in Greece, and a few meters further down you will see the Athanasaki mansion which now operates as an Intellectual Centre. From there you can go uphill into the alley

to a small fork in the road, the left leads you to the church of Agia Kyriaki and the right to the "Karavos" waterfall. Then you get to a paved square, called "Mana", among plane trees and waters, where you can rest for a little while. Further up you will find the monastery of Osios Serafim Sarof. From the "Mana" square, walk downhill on the path that leads you through the forest to "Chrysoula Zogia" square, on the main road. Now you have walked through the famous "Centaurs' Path". Nearby is the "Adamenas Spring", where you can drink some water before you return to the square.

THIRD ROUTE: At the entry of Portaria is found the square "Taxiarchon" where you can see the stone chapel and enjoy the magnificent and unique view over Volos. A downhill path will take you to the main road and immediately after that to the path "Iason" that leads to Katichori.

FOURTH ROUTE: If you walk on the road that leads to Makrinitsa, you will see the woman's monastery of Panagia, the church of Agios Konstantinos and then you will pass alongside the football grounds of the village and the Athletic Centre.

On all of the routes you will be impressed by the stone mansions which are true jewels and testify to the way that the residents of Portaria lived in times gone by, and by the masterly fountains that pop up on each corner! In the summer many cultural events take place and the top one of these is an important folklore custom: The "Pelioritic Wedding", which begins each year in the last 10 days of August.

You will not avoid this exclamation when you first see Makrinitsa hanging over the mountain, with its mansions covering in scales a height difference of 500 meters. You will walk on the countless pebbled roads -artworks- under the scaly roofs of the mansions that where first built by craftsmen from Epirus, you will worship in the churches, you will drink water from 56 fountains, and, inevitably, you will end up at "Irini's Square".

There you will complete the exclamation "…and marvelous are thy works"!

The road that starts from the centre of Portaria will lead you after 2 km to Makrinitsa. The first picture of the village that you will see is breathtaking, the way the village "hangs" on the edge of the mountain!

Makrinitsa is also known as the "Balcony of Mt. Pelion", due to its unique view over Volos and the Pagasetic gulf that can be seen from any of its points. Makrinitsa is a historical village of "absolute protection", its admirable mansions date from the 18th and 19th century.

Most of these are now used as hostels after being renovated and they offer an "ambient" stay to their visitors.

Makrinitsa is built in steps so that its first houses in the Koukourava neighbourhood are located at an altitude of 300m while the last houses, in the Kakouna neighbourhood, are at an altitude of 850m with its central square "Plateia Irinis" being somewhere in the middle. A network of picturesque and skillfully crafted cobblestone streets connects between them the 10 quarters of which the village is constituted.

The village was first built in 1204 and during the 15th century it started developing, managing to become the largest village on Mt. Pelion. Its history is interwoven with the residents' fights for freedom from the

Turks, during that time many people were killed many of whom were women. These women were praised as heroines for their struggle, women such as Margarita Basdeki, a bust of whom is displayed in the village. The Philhellenist English journalist of the London "Times", Charles Ogl was also a victim of these fights.

LET'S GO FOR A WALK… In the main street that crosses the village, you can buy herbs and folk art from the shops. In the square, you can drink your coffee or have lunch under the hundred-year-old plane trees, enjoying the beautiful view over Volos and the Pagasetic gulf. Be refreshed by its fountain (1809), the "Liontaria" or "Athanato nero", take a bow in the church of Ai-Giannis Prodromos (1792) and see the mural (1910) of the painter Theophilos Hatzimichael, in the cafe next to the church.

From the square a downhill path starts that leads to the Museum of Folk Art and History of Pelion.

From the square, an uphill path leads you to the church of Panagia, the cathedral of the village which was built in 1767 and has a beautiful belfry.

Many other churches are scattered around the village and you can see them by taking a walk along the many beautiful paths where you can also see over 56 traditional fountains.

Despite its large tourist growth, the life of the residents retains a lot of the elements of the past. You will see the mule-drivers transporting things on their mules and ladies weaving traditionally folk weaves.

You must also try the local foods such as spetsofai (spicy sausage specialty), fasolada (bean soup), tiropsomo (bread with feta) and liopsomo (bread with olives). If you have a 4x4 car, you can explore the region above Makrinitsa, passing through some beautiful paths, but it would be better to get a special map from the Information Office to ensure that you do not become lost.

Makrinitsa, has tourism all year round but particularly in the winter - along with Portaria - it is a preferred base for all friends of skiing as it is located only 14 km from the ski centre. If you are here during the summer months, you will have the chance to see many cultural events, with the top one being the presentation of the folklore custom "Maides".

Chania Pelion Ski Center Continuing from Portaria toward the peaks of Mt. Pelion, after 12 km you will arrive at the settlement of Chania, at an altitude of 1200m. Here, there are many traditional hotels and taverns that offer hospitality to the visitors of the ski resort which is located 2 km higher, in the area "Agriolefkes" and at an altitude of 1529m.

It is one of the most beautiful ski resorts in Greece, set in a forest full of beech trees; it has the exclusive privilege of a panoramic view of two seas, the Pagasetic and the Aegean. When the sky is clear, the eye can see all the way to Mount Athos ! It is a one of a kind feeling that you will not get anywhere else, making a visit to the Ski Resort, a magnificent experience even for those who are not there for skiing.

There are four main slopes, a slope for beginners as well as a long-distance skiing slope. You will also find restaurants, refreshment stands and ski schools where you can rent ski equipment.

Chania is a cool place for the summer and that's why many visitors prefer it as their base for visiting and discovering Pelion.

Western Pelion: with a view to the Pagasetic Gulf Mountain and sea. The definition. Western Pelion's villages are split in two "neighborhoods" -the seaside ones in the Pagasetic Gulf and to the semi-mountainous-, and are characterized by the mildness and peace of the landscape. One close to the other, they offer you the opportunity to swim in calm waters and, after five minutes, to enjoy the view from above…

Is this the right way to Western Pelion? All you need to do is see the sea to your right, when exiting Volos. The coastal road of Pelion passes from the calm and peaceful coasts of the villages, the seaside villages of the Pagasetic Gulf, and at some point starts moving upwards, leading either to Eastern Pelion (at a small distance after Kala Nera) or to Southern Pelion (at the intersection of Afissos). A second mountain road, parallel to the coastal one (the so-called "closed circuit" of Pelion), guides you to beautiful villages, such as Milies, Vyzitsa, Pinakates, Agios Georgios and Agios Vlasios, and is connected through three road axes with the coastal road. Finally, two circumventions lead you to Drakia (from Agria) and Agios Lavrentios (from Kato Lechonia).

Ï ¢ãéïò Íéêüëáïò Church of Aghios Íikolaos

Drakia From the center of Agria, the road to the "Martyr Village" of Drakia begins. It was named this way, because German conquerors executed 118 of its inhabitants on December 18th 1943. It used to be one of the largest villages of Pelion but the earthquakes in 1955 destroyed its magnificent mansions almost completely. It is located in an idyllic environment with rich vegetation and a walk through its paths will calm you. Find somewhere to sit in its two squares, visit the Museum and the churches, see the mansion of "Triantafyllou" with its murals from the 18th century and its old mills. It is worth visiting the area of Anemoutsa where there is an old monastery and a church with an enormous cross.

Lechonia Lechonia are two villages right after Agria, in a fertile verdurous region, full of floricultures and fruit-bearing trees.

Among the sights is the train station for the little train of Pelion, the old neoclassic houses, the two imposing towers that have been there since the Ottoman rule, the old silk-mills and the old olive press. It is worth taking the route up to the sea, to the coasts of Platanidia, Chatzivageli and Karnagio, where in the summer you can swim and sit in the beach bars and taverns.

From Ano Lechonia starts the road that passes in succession through the villages Agios Vlasios, Agios Georgios, Pinakates, Vyzitsa and Milies, an exquisite route with a unique view over the Pagasetic gulf.

On this road, a little further up from Ano Lechonia is the little settlement of Palaiokastro that has only a few houses, a small square and its paths that create a scene from the past. There is trout breeding to be found.

Platanidia Malaki Platanidia is a peaceful coastal settlement, 1 km from Ano Lechonia, where you can stay, eat and swim. There you will see the ruins of a church from the 4th century that is almost in the sea. After Platanidia is the village of Malaki with its long beach. The little train of Pelion passes directly above it and near by there is a big cave that is said to be the cave where the Centaur Chiron used to live. Visit the Museum of Ceramics located in the region.

Kato Gatzea, is an idyllic coastal village with a quiet tourism that makes it one of the appreciable seasonal resorts of Pelion.

It is worth dining in the taverns right next to the sea with its small beautiful harbor, swimming in the beautiful beach of "Sykia" where you can find two very well organized camping sites. In the summer there are important cultural events taking place and on the 13th & 14th of September there is the local festival.

Just before reaching Kato Gatzea, follow the bypass on the left, to get to the villages of Ano Gatzea and Aghia Triada, which are literally "buried" in the green of olive groves. From here passes the little train of Pelion that stops at the station for a visit to the Museum of Olive and Oil. See the churches and the monastery of Aghia Triada and walk on the train lines up to the big stone bridge and the tunnel from which the little train passes. The road continues to the village of Agios Georgios.

It is one of the most popular coastal resorts of West Pelion, with important tourism, complete tourist infrastructure and a market of commercial shops. Kala Nera owes its name to the abundant waters of the area, while the plane trees and eucalyptus trees reach the sea, creating natural shading. Its beach is one of the longest in Pelion, with beautiful sand, clean sea, and the trees reach up to the beach. Little boats take daily cruises on the Pagasetic gulf and also go to the islands of North Sporades. These boats depart from the harbor. You can walk along paths leading to the villages of Milies, Vyzitsa and Pinakates. On August 15th a big festival takes place, which is honored by the inhabitants and visitors of Pelion. On the day of the Ascension (Analipsi), the custom of horse sanctification, which has its roots deep in time, is revived at Kala Nera.

Afissos It is one of the most cosmopolitan resorts of Pelion. It is built amphitheatrically and has three splendid beaches: Abovos, Kalifteri and Lagoudi. Right next to the sea you will find a lot of taverns and coffee shops and in the square of the village there is a fountain where, according to legend, Jason and the Argonauts took water before they started their trip. A unique spectacle is the sunset! We suggest you try a beautiful walk of 3 km to the village of Lefokastro. You can stay or have dinner and drink at the hotel “Karavia Lux Inn� which is located just above the village. The view from there is magnificent!

Milies: Pelion in miniature Milies has everything. Long history, with the School of Milies constituting a spiritual home during the years of the Turkish rule, personalities that played leading roles in the enlightenment of the Nation, authentic Pelion architecture, paths, covered fountains, great buildings, a museum, a historical library, the famous church of Pammegisti Taxiarches at its beautiful square, significant tourist infrastructure, and, of course, "its" small train, Moutzouris, which has its terminal station here, in a green landscape.

How do we reach Milies? The most common route from Volos is to take the coastal road of Pelion, which goes towards Agria, Lechonia and Kala Nera. There, after 2 km, you reach a significant intersection: to the left, the road goes towards Milies and Tsagkarada, while straight ahead (to the right) it continues for Afissos and Argalasti. So, you go left. You move upwards in a beautiful landscape, until after 7 km you reach the first intersection that goes left to the railway station, and moving on a little higher you turn left at the next intersection ("Korbas" bakery). There is another route, more picturesque, the one of the "small circuit of Pelion", which begins from Ano Lechonia, and climbs the mountain passing, in turn, through the villages of Agios Vlasios, Agios Georgios, Pinakates, and Vyzitsa, with Milies as final destination. Whichever road you follow, the distance is about the same.

The village of Milies is one of the most popular destinations in Pelion due to its key position to the villages of the East, South Pelion and the Pagasetic gulf, but also because of its natural beauty, history and intellectual heritage.

The village extends into two neighborhoods. For the upper neighborhood the main point of reference is the square which is spacious and has views over the Pagasetic gulf as well as two traditional cafes - restaurants. Visit the church of Pammegiston Taxiarchon (1741) with its domes which cannot be seen from the exterior and which are famous for their unique acoustics.

Along the side of the main street there are commercial shops, restaurants and coffee shops.

There you can find the Library of Milies in which

Centre

thousands of rare documents have been rescued as well as other historical heirlooms such as the flag of the Revolution of Pelion in 1821.

Next to it is the Museum with contains objects of traditional professions and has rich photographic material. Next to the square is the marble fountain "Vaptisi" where the blessing of the waters takes place.

In the lower neighborhood, in the area where the little train of Pelion terminates, is a very beautiful natural landscape from where you can see the railway Station. It is worth walking to the cave of the Centaur Chiron. Well-looked-after cobblestone streets, many traditional fountains and old mansions compose a picture of rare harmony in your wanderings. We suggest you three routes for walking along these paths that all begin at the square: The first one leads to the railway station, the second to the neighbouring village of Vyzitsa and finally, the third one, which is much

"Moutzouris", the tourist attraction of Pelion, does not release smoke anymore from its funnel, as it did since 1895, when it climbed Pelion gasping, transporting people and merchandise and reached its terminal station at Milies, for the first time during the summer of 1903. The railway of "Moutzouris" was designed by the Italian engineer Evaristo de Chirico. It is 28 km long and only 60 cm wide. The small train executed daily itineraries until 1971, when it was withdrawn. In the spring of 1996 "Moutzouris" returned more fiercely with a new diesel engine. It begins from Ano Lechonia and follows an excellent route through ravines, streams, nine bridges -eight stone ones and a metal one (the most impressive point, which is about 800 m. before the station of Milies), "De Chirico", in honor of the Italian designer of the line- and two small tunnels ("mout'ka", as they are called by the locals). At some points, it offers unobstructed view to the Pagasetic Gulf. It ends at Milies after 15 km, following a stop at Ano Gatzea for 15'.

There, the engine is manually turned for the return trip.

In July and August, "Moutzouris" operates daily, while from middle April until the end of June and from September until the end of October, it operates only during weekends. Multimember hiker groups (e.g. schools) can rent the train even out of season, following an agreement.

Itineraries: From Ano Lechonia: 10:00 - From Milies: 15:00.

Vizitsa... love at first sight!

Vizitsa is one of the best maintained traditional settlements in Greece and has been given a special reward for this! A lot of old mansions and tower houses were exemplarily renovated and now operate as hostels. The village has a beautiful view over the Pagasetic gulf and you can take many pedestrian routes along its beautiful paths starting from the picturesque square. Visit the church of Zoodochou Pigi that was built in 1725 and be impressed by its simplicity. See the monastery of Agios Ioannis Prodromos that was built in 1789. Near the square you will find the covered Fountain of "Mouzga", built in 1888, and nearby you will see the church of Panagia. In the main street there is a wooden sign showing the routes and the sights of the village. You can walk up to the two neighbouring villages, Milies and Pinakates, or up to the sea, in Kala Nera, passing

notable ecclesiastical museum also operates.

There are two other significant churches, the one of Aghios Athanasios (1795) and the one of Assumption of Virgin Mary (1742). You should also visit the Art Museum of sculptor and engraver Nicholas, who has also crafted the bronze bust that is found in the yard. On the road towards Aghios Vlasios, you will find the monastery of Pammegisti Taxiarches, which was initially built in the 12th century.

Today it is a women's monastery. You can go hiking up to Agriolefkes, Kato Gatzea and "conquer" one of the highest peaks of Pelion, called "Schitzouravli".

Aghios Vlasios It is a quiet village, and although it has not been developed as a tourist destination, it is preferred by visitors for the tranquility that it emits and also for its beautiful views of the Pagasetic gulf. The paved cobbled roads of Agios Vlasios will lead you, through its few old small houses, to the church of Agioi Apostoli or to the quiet paved square with the perennial plane trees, in an idyllic landscape, where you will feel that time has stopped.

It is famous, for the special kind of peaches that are cultivated, called "lemonata". Visit the church of Agios Vlasios and take a walk via a beautiful route up to the next village of Agios Lavrentios. The small lugger, exact copy of a Viking ship, which is found on a rooftop, exactly under the temple's yard, is the one with which a Norwegian traveled from his homeland -for more than a year- to finally come and settle here.

The piquant smells that are poured out just before you reach the square, will pull you by the nose! The scent of Asia Minor's cuisine is spread everywhere. Homemade dishes, cooked with much artistry, are accompanied by local wine or tsipouro, and are lightened by Antonis' laughter! You should definitely taste "orphan kokoretsi". In the summer, the roof and side partitions open up, and the space is transformed into an authentic Pelion terrace.

Eastern Pelion: With view the Aegean Sea The exotic side of Pelion! "Wild" nature, which… calms you, forests, plane trees, waters, dispersed villages "camouflaged" in lush vegetation, history, culture, and at the background the blue of the sea, ending in charming beaches, similar to which you will not find anywhere!

Is this the right way to Eastern Pelion? Starting from Volos, you have two main choices: the first is to follow the coastline road and after Kala Nera to move upwards towards Milies (this is also the route in our tour). The second is through Portaria and Chania. From Chania, you can either follow the classic route, which takes you north towards Zagora or you can continue towards the Ski Center, and there a detour, to the left, takes you directly to Kissos, which is a shorter route for the villages located in that area.

Kalamaki Labinou Xourichti The road coming from Milies meets the one from Neochori, and together they continue towards the villages of Eastern Pelion. Three kilometers further, the bypass road takes you to Kalamaki, the first and maybe most "unknown" village of this route.

The first image you will see is the huge quarries, from which the famous stone slab of Pelion is mined, but don't stay there… The village hides many surprises with its wonderful neoclassic houses, the picturesque cobbled roads, the magnificent view to the Aegean Sea, the square with its cafe, the restaurants, the perennial huge plane tree dominating in the middle, and a few meters higher, the church of Agios Athanasios.

This is an ideal place for anyone who wants to experience closely peace and quiet, by breathing the fresh air of the virgin nature within a traditional setting.

A beautiful hotel is there to offer you all amenities during your stay.

Moving on the downhill road, after 2 km you will find yourself at the homonymous beach of the village (a restaurant operates there), with its pebbled beach and the crystal clear waters. From here, many years ago, small donkeys used to climb uphill to be loaded with the stone destined for Mount Athos.

Folklore says that the captain of a boat that was traveling at night encountered a ferocious storm. The captain asked the Virgin Mary to help him and then saw a light (Lampidona) lighting up a beach where he could land and tie up his boat in safety. Thereafter he built a small church that he named Lampidona, and that is where the village Labinou took its name. Later a monastery was built but today has been abandoned. The village is very small and in its little square there is only one tavern. The beach is beautiful and it is worth swimming there.

The landscape going toward Xourichti starts to get wild, but at the same time is very impressive. Before you reach the village you will see the «Open Theatre» that used to host cultural events during the summer months.

Unfortunately today it does not operate due to landslides, which destroyed access to it. It is worth taking a walk up to the small but very beautiful square of the village. In this area is found the impressive gorge of Koutra which you can explore it with the help of experts.

At the end of October, the Feast of Chestnut takes place. You can swim on the beach of Limnionas.

Tsagkarada is one of the most beloved destinations of Pelion set in the forest and full of floricultures. It faces the Aegean, it is underpopulated, it has exceptional mansions and beautiful traditional squares and it also has an admirable tourist infrastructure in all fields. It is constituted by four quarters: Aghii Taxiarches, Aghia Paraskevi, Aghios Stefanos and Aghia Kyriaki.

Tsagarada was first constructed around 1600 and the first houses were built by the sea but because of a fear of pirates the village expanded upwards towards the heights. In the 18th century the main occupation of the residents was the production of silk and wool materials. Later a lot of the residents immigrated to Egypt where they prospered but they never forgot their homeland and they helped it in every way possible. It had a special economic and intellectual blossoming, that is demonstrated by the Achillopouleio Commercial School (1865), that today functions as a Library and Museum, the Nanopouleio School (1909), which is the most impressive building of Tsagarada and is where the Primary School now operates and which in the summer in its schoolyard there are many artistic events and also the Kartaleio Primary School as well as others.

The tourist attraction of the village is undoubtedly the thousand-year-old plane tree in the square of Aghia Paraskevi, the trunk of which has a diameter of roughly 14 m. and its shade in the summer embraces the entire square. The fountain with four faucets that is found in the square of Aghii Taxiarches is also remarkable. Other sights, not counting its beautiful squares, that Tsagarada has to show are the churches, most of which were built in the 18th century.

Your wanderings in the region, through the labyrinthian network of cobblestone streets, as well as in the chestnut forest and plane tree forest, should be a living experience!

We suggest you take a walk: from the Taxiarches square to the square of Agia Paraskevi, and toward Xourichti, passing via the arched stone bridge that will fascinate you, and from the square of Agia Paraskevi to the coastal settlement of Damouchari.

However the most precious legacy was gifted to the region by nature, offering us beaches of incredible beauty such as Mylopotamos and Fakistra.

Mylopotamos is one of the most famous beaches of Pelion. You can access it from the intersection of the main road between Agia Paraskevi and Taxiarches (7 km), as well as from the districts of Agia Paraskevi and Agios Stefanos. About 100 steps stand between you and the crystal clear turquoise waters and the pebbled coast, which is organized. On the left side of the beach, there is a big hole on the rock that leads you to the second part of the beach, which is smaller and relatively more quiet.

Fakistra is the second beach of Tsagkarada. The road passes through the district of Agia Kyriaki.

You can park at the small plateau and continue on foot following a path (which is stone built at the beginning) for about 10 minutes. The view is unique while moving downwards.

Here there is neither a beach bar, nor umbrellas and sunbeds to rent.

Just small pebbles and crystal clear waters. Even though Fakistra is not as well known as Mylopotamos, this did not prevent the readers of "The Guardian" to vote it as the seventh universally best beach, in the category "Most impressive"!

It is worth attending the Tsagkarada Escape Festival. A four-day Festival of Mountain & Sea Sports, with outdoors sport activities, climbing, gorge descent, mountain biking, sea canoe, archery, horseback riding, mountain running etc., thematic events such as workshop for the flora, herbs, photography exhibitions, as well as live music events.

Mouresi Damouchari Mouresi is one of the most beautiful "balconies of the Aegean", it is chosen by many visitors as their base for the summer, specifically for swimming at the beautiful beaches of Damouchari and Papa Nero. Mouresi also has a very beautiful and peaceful square, where you will see the church of Agia Triada. Going down to the sea, an alley on the right, leads you to a beautiful place called "Tsouka", with magnificent view. Continuing along the path will lead you straight to Damouchari.

Travelling downhill from Mouresi, just before you reach the sea, there is a junction, turn to the right and that road will lead you to a beautiful village of Damouchari. The village is so beautiful that it will remind you of a scene from a movie and in fact, "Mamma Mia" the movie which was filmed here.

It is separated into two parts by a rocky "tongue", where there are the ruins of a medieval Castle and the old monastery of Agios Nikolaos (1744). On the left, you will see the picturesque harbor and on the right, the pebbly beach. Passing the wooden bridge and following the path will take you to Tsagarada. You can also walk north to the next beach of Papa Nero.

Aghios Ioannis Papa Nero Aghios Ioannis is the most cosmopolitan summer resort of Pelion and has an exemplary tourist infrastructure. The beach is directly in front of the village and one part of the beach is organized and has a lifeguard station. On the north side there is a small harbor, and right next to it there is a small path that leads to the beautiful beach of Plaka. A beautiful attraction in the village is the pedestrian zone, with a lane for bicycles, which runs along the coastal front and ends at the beach of Papa Nero.

Next to the parking, there is a large summer camp for children (since 1924) and the church of Aghios Ioannis Prodromos, next to the river of Mavroutsa, with its beautiful wooden bridge. The arched metal bridge for pedestrians, next to the sea, will make a great impression. We suggest you a beautiful walking route that starts from the small harbor, passes the beach of Plaka and by going uphill through rural roads leads you to «Panagia Faneromeni» with its rocky coast. You can also visit the neighbouring villages of Aghios Dimitrios, Kissos, Anilio and Mouresi.

Papa Nero is located exactly next to Aghios Ioannis. This beach is one of the longest of Pelion, an amazing sandy beach and aquamarine sea, it is organized, and it has a lifeguard station, restaurants and lodgings for you to stay in. A beautiful pedestrian zone crosses the beach and there begins the path that takes you to the neighbouring village of Damouchari.

Do not miss the sun rise, it is a unique spectacle! In the region there is one of the most organized camping sites of Pelion, right next to the sea.

Aghios Dimitrios It is located directly above Aghios Ioannis. It is an underpopulated village set in greenery and flowers, it extends along a "ridge" that faces the sea and is traversed by a large network of cobblestone streets.

Calm and peaceful, it is preferred by those visitors who wish to stay right in the middle of nature and only a short distance from the sea. A beautiful attraction is the church of Agios Dimitrios, at the turn of the road. You may also visit the little chapel of Ai-Giannakis, built in an idyllic location.

One of the most picturesque villages of Pelion, well "hidden" in the forest, with panoramic views over the neighbouring villages and the Aegean Sea. In its beautiful square there is the church of Agia Marina (17th century). It is one of the most important ecclesiastical monuments of Pelion, with four interior cupolas, a unique gold-plated wood carved temple and impressive hagiographies. It is more than worth the walk to go to the chapel of Aghios Efstathios (1762), which was used as a lair for the "Filiki Eteria" and to admire the splendid views from there.

Anilio is a small village, which is slowly turning into a tourist destination. There is a very beautiful square there, where you will see the church of Agios Athanasios (1785), with its imposing volume and the slab-covered roof, and next to it a series of platforms, which hosts the village's events. There are many chapels in the area, at the place of old monasteries. You can buy flowers, as well as homemade sweets and drinks, which are produced by the Women Association…

Going downhill toward the sea there is a narrow dirty road on your left which leads to the relatively unknown beach of Banikas. Once there you can see a cave which according to myth was Centaur's Chiron residence. At the end of the asphalt road that moves downwards from Anilio towards Agios Ioannis, a passable dirt road passes above the captivating beach of Plaka and it continues to the chapel of Panagia Faneromeni.

Zagora is the biggest village of East Pelion and also the most historical one. Archaeological findings testify that there was a pre-Christian town there. The village has 3,000 inhabitants, and is built amphitheatrically at the N.E. slopes of Pelion, at an altitude of about 450 - 550 meters It is divided into four large quarters: Aghia Paraskevi, Aghia Kyriaki, Aghios Georgios and Sotira.

The people of Zagora blossomed in the middle of the 18 century mainly due to the production and trading of silk which they exported using the famous "Ships of Zagora" all over the Mediterranean, something that gave them a significant position in all of Pelion. In days gone by, Pelion was known as the "mountain of Zagora".

You must visit the historical library in the square of Aghios Georgios that houses roughly more than 20.000 books, many of which are very old and very rare. Not forgetting the “Ellinomouseio” (School of Rigas Feraios) that at the end of the 18th century was developed into an intellectual centre not only of Pelion but also for the whole Greece.

Zagora is famous for its apples "Zagorin" that are exported all over the world. Apple trade is the main financial source of the inhabitants, who work for its production almost all year round.

Walking in the village you will be impressed by the large number of churches (38), the old monasteries, the renovated mansions, many of which have their characteristic painted windows and also by the monumental fountains. At the square of Agios Georgios, the old mansions of Kapsiotis and Drakopoulos are impressive. On the upper floor of the latter, there is a guesthouse, which is operated under the responsibility of the Women Agrotourist Association of Zagora, while on the ground floor there is the preparation room of the association (sweets, liqueurs, etc.).

Just outside the village (as you head north towards Pouri), you will encounter the monastery of Panagia Rasouva (1300) with its impressive domes, which may remind you of camel humps. You will see a narrow

Our last stop in Eastern Pelion is an historical village hidden in an idyllic natural environment. An uphill cobblestone street leads you to the "Balcony of the Aegean" with its three level square (the only one in Pelion), with an amphitheatrical views over the Aegean and the beach of Chorefto. A little further up you will see the church of Agios Dimitrios (1743) with its imposing belfry. It is worth exploring the deserted village of "Palia Mitzela" and swimming at the beaches of Analipsi, Elitsa and Ovrios.

Southern Pelion: the other face of the mountain The southern end of the mountain of the Centaurs is full of surprises. Peace, calm, alternative routes, low altitudes, beaches which are divided between the Aegean Sea and the Pagasetic Gulf. Many small dots on the map invite and challenge you to discover the treasures that they hide.

Is this the right way to Southern Pelion? The route is easy. You begin from Volos and follow the coastal road, always having the sea to your right. At the intersection of Afissos (after Koropi), you move upwards towards Afetes and continue until the intersection of "Argalasti Delta", the entrance "gate". There, you go right. Argalasti, Lafkos, Milina and Trikeri are the focal points for your explorations, in a maze, in which… it is worth getting lost!

Syki The village is 6 km. away from the ‘delta of Argalasti’. Moving on the road, you will encounter the women's monastery of Timios Prodromos, which was built in 1795. At the entrance, the small church of Profitis Ilias welcomes you, from where the view is majestic, as Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos lie in front of you. The modern village began being built at the end of the 14th century or the beginning of the 15th century.

During the course of history, the village was raided by pirates and Turks, it was deserted, but thanks to the stubbornness of the inhabitants of Syki, it was built again and kept alive.

The church of Agios Georgios, which was initially built in 1777, and after successive destructions was rebuilt in 1940 at the same position, is the village's reference point. The route through lush vegetation and color changes will lead you down to the crystal clear beaches of Syki: Potoki and Pantazi Ammos (routes of about 3 km.).

Lefokastro

Lefokastro is a small settlement, the Pelion's "hermitage", with just a couple of taverns and several accommodation suggestions. You can swim at the beach in front of the settlement but also at other beaches nearby. On the route Lefokastro - Afissos there is a very beautiful beach of Aghia Efthimia and just after that the beach of Razi. If you continue, you will get to the chapel of Prophitis Ilias. In the region there is also a small arched bridge (1891), night Byzantine churches and a fountain that has been there since 1777. All these discoveries signify that the region had been inhabited since the Early Christian period.

Argalasti The largest village of South Pelion, Argalasti, is built on a fertile plateau with olive trees, grapes and figs, keeping the traditional style with a mild growth in the tourist field. In the region, Argalasti is a "strategic" place for your wanderings. Argalasti has a bank, a post office, gas stations, and at the same time, it constitutes the commercial center of the area, since it has a big enough market, which is visited by many inhabitants of the surrounding villages.

The belfry at the entrance to the metropolitan cathedral of Apostolon Petrou ke Pavlou (1886) is a characteristic monument which is made of marble and was constructed to a model of the church of Agia Fotini in Smyrna, with big clocks and two Russian bells. At the village's center, you can find the square, with taverns and commercial stores around it, from where the untouched side streets start, which are hidden from the central road and lead you to neoclassical mansions. You will see the house of Dimadis, member of Filiki Etaireia (Society of Friends), Chatzinikos mansion a building of 1880, with intense signs of the ravage of time- which has been characterized as listed, and, of course, the building of the Greek School, the "Girls School", of which the locals are very proud. You can drink water from fountains, the names of which have been linked with local legends, and which are considered to be significant sights. You will also see stone arched bridges, such as the bridge at Katsilochori (the entrance of the village). We suggest you to walk from the square to the Byzantine Abbey of Agios Nikolaos Paou (1732) from where you will enjoy a view over the coasts of Pagasetic gulf and the islet of Alatas (2.5 km). The closest choices for swimming are Potistika, Melani, Mourtitsa, Paltsi (toward Aegean) and Paou, Belian, Kalamos, Lefokastro (toward Pagasetic). At the end of August, the two-day "Celebration of the Truffle Mushroom" is organized.

Xinovrysi / Potistika From Argalasti, a road begins (to the left of the central one), which leads you after 6.5 km to Xinovrysi. It is a small village with a beautiful square and the church of Panagia (1778). After continuously driving toward the sea you will, after 4.5 km, reach a marvelous beach: Potistika, with its long sandy beach that has an enormous rock in the middle of it. In this area you can eat and stay. Further north, there is the "unknown" beach of Mourtitsa (you can get there on foot) and further to the south - right next to it, is Melani, which has as long and as beautiful a beach as the one in Potistika.

Paltsi / Melani Paltsi located 12 km eastern to Argalasti. It is a settlement built amphitheatrically in a captivating small bay where you can find the magnificent beach of Agios Konstantinos. The road (4x4) continues behind the beach and through a landscape of beauty it passes through the settlement of Patrichori (under Promyri) and Mourtia. From there the road becomes passable asphalt and continues to Katigiorgi and Platania. Just before Paltsi, a bypass on the left, leads you to the beautiful and usually deserted beach of Melani. Right next to it is the beach of Potistika.

Chorto Moving downwards the road after Argalasti, a complex of lacey beaches awaits you Chorto is one of the most traditional and quiet coastal resorts of Pelion, however there are many places where one can have fun and taste traditional flavors. Several findings in the area testify that this is where the ancient city of Spalafthra used to be. During the years of the interwar period, Chorto was the port, from which the olive production of Southern Pelion was exported.

In the Museum, you will see some of the traditional costumes of Pelion, old objects and photographs. Many cultural events are also organized here. For swimming you can go either to the beach in front of the village or to many of the other (hidden) small beaches with their aquamarine waters located nearby.

Going to Milina, you will find a large cave that was said to be the residence of the Centaur Chiron.

Your visit to Alogoporos (6.5 km from Trikeri) is a beautiful excursion. The homonymous tavern is right next to the beautiful beach. Incredible spaghetti with crayfish, octopus, squids and fish, just out of the boat, as well as cooked to order dishes, which are accompanied by fresh salads with vegetables from their garden, cheese that they produce themselves, in very good prices.

Combine your visit with a swim (sunbeds and umbrellas are available by the tavern). Right opposite is Palio Trikeri island, where Vangelis (tel. +306980515111) can "drop you off" in 2 minutes with his sea taxi.

Trikeri

Palio Trikeri island Alogoporos Kottes Reaching the indent of the moorage of Trikeri (20 km. from Milina), you have two choices: going left from the new road, you first pass through the coastal village of Agia Kyriaki and then move upwards for Trikeri.

Continuing straight ahead, you will first pass through the picturesque coastal settlement of Kottes. We go right… Trikeri is built on the top of a hill with panoramic view. It is a village in which you could say that time has stopped, with its houses cuddled together on its narrow streets. You can leave your car at the parking, by the road, and you will move upwards the narrow road, which leads to two cool squares, with coffee shops and rotisseries, one almost opposite the other. Walk up to the top of the hill to enjoy the splendid view and to see the church of Aghia Triada that has a wood carving

The churches of Agioi Anargyri, Agios Athanasios, and Agios Nikolaos come into sight in their turn, along with the old mansions and tower-houses (17 in total), with "Fourtouna" tower-house being the characteristic one (ask for the mayor's house), which is the only one that is still inhabited, and it has been transformed into a small private museum. The maritime history of the inhabitants of Trikeri is glorious. They used to travel to the countries of the Mediterranean with their ships, trading. Én the fight for liberation from the Turks they participated with 20 army ships and some of their cannon have been rescued.

Their customs are celebrated in a special way and all the residents and the visitors are participating.

A beautiful excursion is to take a short trip to the islet of Palio Trikeri. To get there you can go by sea-taxi (tel. 6980515111) either from Agia Kyriaki or from Alogoporos which is 6.5 km away (you can eat there at Niko’s tavern). In the islet you must visit the monastery of Panagia.

Returning to Milina you will pass from Kottes, a coastal settlement that is famous for its fish-taverns.

Aghia Kyriaki In the southern part of Pelion, this very beautiful fishing village reminds you of an Aegean island village with its white houses built amphitheatrically and the multicolored fishing boats at one end of the harbor. If you want absolute calmness and peacefulness in South Pelion this is the place you are looking for! You will see the church of Aghia Kyriaki (1786) and the Karnagio, where the fishermen bring their fishing boats for repair. Walk uphill to the neighbouring location ÂŤGeroplinaÂť, where the lighthouse is, or follow the cobblestone path up to the village Trikeri. You can swim at the beach of Mylos and also in the scattered, small and hidden beaches nearby.

You should definitely sit at the taverns by the wave and taste fresh fish and the delicious crawfish spaghetti!

Lafkos Lafkos is one of the most beautiful villages of Pelion, built at the top of a ridge with amazing views over the Pagasetic gulf and Milina. Walking through it you will be impressed by the neatness of the houses with their flowery yards, its mansions, many of which have become hostels, but mainly by its romantic and nostalgic style of "other eras". Its paved square is gorgeous with the gigantic plane trees, the taverns, the small coffee shops and the old bakery (1911) that makes unique olive bread (eliopsomo). The church of Theotokos (1890) with its very high and imposing belfry that is visible from a distance, will guide you. Behind the church are the «Radio Museum», in which you will see the permanent exhibition of the collection of radios from all over the world, which were donated by German scientist Wilfried Shoeps (11-1 in the morning and 7-9 in the

Metochi From Argalasti, you continue on the main road going to the south and after 2 km you will see a junction: The road on your right, takes you to Chorto and Milina and the one on your left takes you to Metochi. We follow the second one. At the entrance opposite the spring an old bulldozer will intrigue your curiosity. In the square is the church of Zoodochos Pigi (1860) with its antiquated icons. Metochi is a small village and has not developed its tourism; however it has an amazing view over the lacy coasts of the Pagasetic gulf.

Platanias

Mikro - Kastri

After Lafkos and before you reach Promyri, on your right hand, you will come across a crossroads that leads, after 7 kilometres, to Platanias. Here you can also find the ancient village Afetes, where the Argonauts started their voyage to Colchis. Although a fishing village, it is one of the most popular resorts of Southern Pelion, with very good tourism infrastructure.

Its port is the largest fishing haven of Pelion, where you will definitely find fresh fish, and during summer months, it is connected, with excursion yachts, with Skiathos, exactly opposite the village, and the other islands of the Northern Sporades. All along the port, you can find fish taverns, coffee shops, supermarkets and everything you might need. There are numerous hospitality options, with the capacity of hosting more than 800 people. You can even choose to stay in the very nice camping almost by the sea. The

beach is large and next to it (after 10 minutes walk through a beautiful path) you can find the lovely Mikro with its equally wonderful beach, rooms to stay, taverns and coffee shops. In the settlement of Mousges, there is the women's monastery of Saint Spyridonas and its chapel Panagia Mousgiotissa (1800), with the superb icons, where there is a big feast on the 7th of September. What is notable is the activities of the association "Friends of Platanias", which organizes every year, among others, the local traditional feast. Platanias has its annual religious feast on the 1st of July, the day of commemoration for Saint Cosmas and Damianos.

Kastri is a settlement east of Platanias, (6.5 kilometres) with a superb beach, where there is a small but beautiful camping and it is also a point of reference for the fans of windsurfing.

It is my Home. By choice and not out of need".

He has presented his paintings in exhibitions in Greece and abroad, London Amsterdam - Moscow - New York Philadelphia - Miami - Tokyo - Cairo etc.

CHRISTOS AND CLAIRE …have found the "Lost Unicorn"!

Christos and Claire came to Pelion as visitors from England, where they used to live. They were charmed by the beauty of Tsagkarada and bought a neoclassical building, aiming at creating an aristocratic house for friends. And they did it. The Lost Unicorn with just 8 en suite 2-people bedrooms is ideal for couples, as well as groups of friends that can book them for their exclusive use. The setting travels and relaxes you, while reading in the "green" library, sitting in the Victorian living room with the grand piano, or relaxing at the dining room with the fireplace and the velvet chairs. The patio with the bar, the "tree house" and the verdant terrace are some more key points.

"Pelion is endless. It does not just have "something" for everyone, but "everything" for everyone!

This is yet another reason why we have visitors who return almost every year, in order to get another dosage of "magic" and incomparable beauty".

There he exposes both his own works and those of the collaborating team of local creators. Clay, metal, wood, stone, the materials of the land of Tsagkarada take shape, come into life and become artworks, jewels, souvenirs… "We urge our visitors not to look at Tsagkarada as a prospectus, but to become part of it. We see them as friends, who have honored us with their presence and we repay them with love. For me, Pelion is the entire world. And I feel a great need to share this".

EFI KARAVOSIANI Efi has designed an art workshop especially for young children. It takes place every Sunday at Aleka’s restaurant and teaches the use and various applications of polymeric clay to the young participants. ‘During the classes we create many decorative and functional objects, such as frames, pencil holders, keyring, broaches etc.’.

A truly creative and original idea for our small village community!

DIMITRIS GIAKOVAKIS IAKOVANIS suites & spa is heaven on earth at the heart of Pelion, at the village of Koropi, and its owner is fairly proud of this fact.

"Our visitors are divided in terms of nationality, there are both Greek and foreigners.

They all have things to say about Pelion's uniqueness in terms of its natural beauty.

However, many things still need to be done in order to improve its infrastructure, and this is the main reason why it does not constitute yet a destination for high budgets as, for example, this is the case in other cosmopolitan places. Nevertheless, efforts made by some colleagues in the hotel sector recently, seem to bear fruit, since we ascertain that VIP clients visit us too. Pelion's characteristic is that it has many but small hotel units, so the correct projection that will bring it to the place it deserves can only be achieved through collaboration. Honesty and generosity will be benefits towards this direction!"

"It is a significant responsibility, as well as great pleasure, to run a luxurious tourism unit, which has to operate perfectly and with respect towards the clients. Strategy development and vision creation, along with taking care of daily operation and targeted promotion in our country and abroad, compose a complete picture of our activities.

FILARETOS AND MARIANNA Pelion experiences at AMANITA An economist and a lawyer decided to live their life dream in nature, over the ruins of an old house, which with excess of love they turned into AMANITA guesthouse at Tsagkarada. "In our era, new is the authentic "old". We, who became inhabitants of Pelion out of love, want to show Pelion to visitors from all over the world through the uniqueness of simple things. There is no specific target hunting. We have understood that it is enough to try to be authentic, to prepare the delicacies of the breakfast, our garden and our activities with our soul, and the guests will sense this and will make it theirs". For seven months every year, their life progresses through the capacity of hoteliers, food collectors, mushroom hunters, gardeners and botanists. AMANITA orchard is also open some days for visitors. You can participate in the experiential seminars on the botanical tradition of Pelion and the use of herbs in healing and cooking.

VASILIKI BAROUTA Vaso, with her natural smile, fell in love with Milies with all her heart, when she first met her husband. There she also opened her "Zoumpero" with all the colored treasures, which supports Greek artists and local products. From there, through Milies News at fb, she guides us and informs us all year round about what is going on at the magical village.

"I invite you here, to this place, where the mountain marries with the sea, colors embrace scents, history meets mythology, churches remind of their aim, and arts have made their home!"

THANASIS ÍÔOVAS Through each shot a different story is narrated, depicting the natural beauty of our land Thanasis is not quite what we call a native of Volos...having family roots in both Farsala and Ioannina, he spent his school years in Volos where he returned in 2004, after a long term residency in Italy. His great passion for photography as well as his love for the city in which he currently lives, lead him to invest every minute of his leisure time in capturing countless images of the port city of Volos and the mountain region of Pelion. As Thanasis himself claims: "We have gold in our hands…the mountain and the sea combine uniquely as one and make a mythical, scenic, and historical region, which is one of the most beautiful and popular ones in Greece…something which is definitely worth showing to everyone!". Besides, the impact of a beautiful picture, especially in this day and age when the spread of information and knowledge through the internet is easily achieved, could serve as a dynamic tool for tourism, in addition to giving a boost to the growth of the local economy. He has participated in numerous group photography exhibitions whilst he is currently working on his first personal one, in 2016.

YOGA - A TRIP OF INNER SEARCH "Yoga came into my life in 2004 to cover my need for balance, which was the result of a demanding professional schedule.

Through the trip of inner search, exercise and study regarding yoga, I discovered the system of Satyananda yoga, which is a scientifically proven holistic system. Then I attended some other programs and specialized seminars. My training was performed by Swami Sivamurti Saraswati, one of the best Yoga instructors globally, whom I followed in a very inspiring seminar at the "Bihar school of yoga" in southern India. This trip was a revealing experience regarding my lifestyle.

Thus, I decided to include yoga sessions, seminars and retreat yoga at "Iris" guesthouse, which I run at Tsagkarada. In a very energetic setting, visitors, Greeks and foreigners, seek a different kind of holidays. And Pelion is the ideal place for alternative holidays, for moments of relaxation and well-being".

APOSTOLOS SOULDATOS Apostolos shares his actions on tourism both as a businessman with "Akrogiali" restaurant at Agios Ioannis, as well as a consultant to the mayor at the Municipality of Zagora - Mouresi on issues regarding Public Relations and Promotion of the Municipality's activities.

"Ai Giannis and the areas of eastern Pelion are dreamy places. In our municipality, we do the best we can in terms of programs for promotion and projection, and we are close to our target, because in our area we find people who love tourism, who love their area, who love their work, and who welcome tourists with a smile. The latter in particular surprises and disarms even the most demanding people.

Personally, I will continue working with all my powers for this wonderful place. One of my dreams is the creation of a "Thematic Park" in our area, which would lift Pelion off!"

DIMITRIS NTELIS Born to cook Ever since he was a child, he learnt the secrets of the kitchen by helping in his aunt's restaurant. Today, Dimitris stirs his pots both in the summer and in the winter. In the summer at "Oraia Ammoudia", the restaurant at Papa Nero beach and in the winter at "Ba.Ca.Re" restaurant-bar in Volos.

There, he combines the traditional with modern influences, without hesitating to implement his most bold ideas for even more delicious results! Extrovert and insightful, when he is not mixing his ingredients, he "blends in" with the private initiative that wants to highlight Volos and Pelion, making it more widely known even out of the borders.

SOPHIA & TASSOS KARAVIAS INVESTING ON PELION The "Karavia Lux Inn" is an exemplary resort between Afissos and Afetes, with incredible view to the Pagasitikos Gulf. The owners “dared” and achieved an investment that has strengthened considerably this area in the tourist map of Pelion.

"Although our professional status was not associated with tourism, we had always a special love for travelling. By wishing, therefore, to enjoy high-standard tourist services, it is created a strong desire to create an innovative hotel unit, in order to offer our guests all those services that we would like to enjoy ourselves. Although this thought had taken roots in our minds for a longtime, the final decision was made in one night!

Having already completed three years of operation, we are closer to our goal, a goal that aims to enjoy staying at our accommodation, Greeks and foreigners, the natural beauty and the alternative activities that the majestic Pelion has to offer without leaving behind all the "modern comforts".

The diet of local people has survived to this day and is still served in Pelion. The unique Spetzofai, the fried green tomatoes, the sweet orange salad are not gourmet options but everyday dishes of the villages in Pelion. The freshly made pasta, molyvithres, the tarhana with vegetables from your own garden, the pies with all their sweet and savory variations reveal the needs of each village, the abilities and local practices of its people.

The uniqueness of the cuisine of Pelion and its secrets are elements that constitute our gastronomic traditions. Mushrooms, wild herbs, meat, fish, chestnuts, quinces, ferns… Our land is truly a gift of God and it allows us to be self sufficient!

Food is culture. A big portion of the cuisine in Pelion is connected to feasts, large family gatherings and to some dishes with difficulties in their preparation. The "jar" (kanati), the kapama, the meat pie were all elements that accompanied a happy event and the delicious taste was the reward for the efforts of the landlady or the landlord of the house. The feasts last for hours, tsipouro to welcome guests is a tradition in houses in Pelion and the treats for guests are a must.

The beauty and truth in cooking lie in the simplicity of the ingredients and in their combination. Enjoy your meal!

One-year-old-goat with tomato sauce Ingredients: 1 kg of one-year-old-goat with all its fat (shoulder-blade, front part), 1 medium onion, 1 wine glass olive oil, pimento, 2 bay leaves, salt - pepper, tomato juice.

Method: Place the meat in a pressure cooker and cook for 46-60 minutes and make sure it melts. Remove it when ready and put its soup immediately in the fridge. In that way it will be cold when you need to use it, the fat will stand at the surface and you will be able to remove it with a spoon.

At the same time brown the finely chopped onion. Put olive oil in a casserole enough to cover its bottom. Add the precooked meat, the soup (in a quantity that half covers the meat, without adding the fat), the tomato juice, the onion and the spices, cover and cook in low heat for 20´. Serve with rice or fried potatoes.

Tsagkarada / Damouchari / Agios Ioannis A "classic" and nice route with a duration of 1.5 hour and a distance of 4.5 km, moving downwards towards the sea from 480 m.

The route's starting point is at the square of Aghia Paraskevi at Tsagkarada, with the famous 1100 year old plane tree. The cobbled road begins right below the square. We pass through the marble fountain with the lion head (1907), we first reach the church of Aghios Georgios, and then the church of Aghia Kyriaki (1886). Walking further, we find a stream with a cement bridge and the "fountain of Vainas". Then, we move upwards towards a ridge to reach "Vigla" position, where a stop is necessary. After that, we will encounter a fork in our way, where we will turn left until we reach the kiosk with the wonderful view. From here, the cobbled road starts moving sharply downwards -these are "kagkiolia" as they are called by the locals- until we reach the so-called "Chalorema" with the wooden bridge. We have reach the beach of Damouchari, below the ruins of the ancient castle. We pass over the small port (in 2007 scenes from "Mamma Mia" movie were shot there), and walking on the asphalt, after 300 meters we encounter the sign of the "Katerina Hotel". We go right, moving downwards towards the sea. Soon we reach the south end of the Papa Nero beach.

Kala Nera / Milies / Koropi / Kala Nera Circular route with a duration of 3.5 hours and a distance of 10 km, moving upwards from the sea to 380 m.

We begin from the intersection of the main road over Kala Nera with the one heading towards "Argyraiika" settlement. The path leads us on its own. Moving upwards, to the right we find the stream of Milies and from the ridge we see the village of Milies opposite us. We continue and reach a crossroad at the beginning of the village. We have two choices: 1) to turn left towards the station for the train of Pelion and following the lines to find, on our right hand, the path leading to Vyzitsa, which is 1.5 km away, and 2) to turn right and, passing by the church of Aghios Georgios, to end up at the church of Taxiarches (1741) at the square of Milies. Directly below the square we will see the sign, in order to continue towards Koropi. We follow the cobbled road and we reach the church of Saints Konstantinos and Eleni. A little further to the left, our route continues. Moving downwards, we find the small church of Aghios Ioannis Prodromos. We continue and reach a crossroad. There, the left road leads to Koropi and the right to Kala Nera. We move left. We encounter the "arch bridge", we pass by the small church of Agioi Anargyri, and we end up at the church of Aghios Ioannis Theologos of Koropi. We return to Kala Nera by the central road.

Agios Onoufrios / Makrinitsa Portaria / Katichori / Alli Meria The classic route in central Pelion, with a duration of 3.5 hours and a distance of 12 km.

At Aghios Onoufrios we cross the stream to the right, we start moving upwards and a little higher we pass by the bridge to its left. Moving on, we reach the small church of Aghios Nikolakis, and we move upwards until we reach Koukourava.

We move on the asphalt for a while until we encounter the cobbled road that will lead us to Makrinitsa's square. From here, we have two choices. The easy one is to follow the asphalt that reaches Portaria, admiring the panoramic view to Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf However, it is more exiting to follow the path downwards, the one that starts from Makrinitsa's entrance (at the old campsite) and, crossing the stream of Krafsindonas, to move upwards towards Stagiates. There we encounter the dirt road that moves us upwards to the central road of Makrinitsa - Portaria at the height of Aeriko caf?. We reach the square of Portaria, and we stay on the path, moving upwards until Portaria hotel, and from there, to the right of the central road, the downward cobbled road (Iason) towards Katichori begins. Following it, we finally reach Alli Meria.

Milina / Lafkos One of the most beautiful and easy routes at South Pelion, with a duration of 2.5 hours with return, and a total distance of 7 km, moving upwards from the sea to 385 m.

From the church of Milina on the waterfront, we follow the asphalt, which heads towards Lafkos. To the left, we find the cobbled road, and move upwards. We follow the red signs and, after crossing the asphalt twice, we re-enter the cobbled road. Soon we reach the picturesque village of Lafkos. Our return starts from the church. We can leave towards the left downwards following another cobbled road. We find the signs of the "Friends of the Kalderimi" group, and we follow them.

Moving downwards, we reach Paliovrysi. We cross by a stream with a stone bridge, and, moving on through the cobbled road, we reach the church of Panagia Mesosporitissa or Monastiraki. We finally reach the waterfront and, following the central road, we return to the church, were we started from.

Ano Kerasia / Flamouri Monastery with return We can explore the unknown Pelion following a route with religious "character" since the monastery of Flamouri is one of the most historical ones. In 6 hours, a total distance of 18 km is covered.

We start from the square of the historical Ano Kerasia, the village that was completely burnt down by the occupation troops, because here is where the rebels' base was.

At first, we move downwards the cobbled road towards an old fountain, and then we move upwards, passing by dilapidated houses. We walk downwards towards the stream, pass by it, and then move upwards. We go right at the fork that we encounter in our way. We reach a clearing (Kosta Rachi position). We walk upwards and then downwards until a rocky area, where we find Alfons' monument (ALFONS-XENOPHON-ANDREAS). We move downwards the ridge with a view to the Aegean Sea, then upwards, and we reach the monastery of Flamouri (1593). The return starts with an upward path with chestnut and beech trees. We reach "Stavros" position. Moving downwards, we reach the plateau of Kato Goura. At a small distance we find a trough. Here we have two choices: to continue on the road or to follow the path to the left and finally reach Ano Kerasia.

It is one of the most exotic beaches, and not only in Pelion! Agii Saranta, with its imposing rock (it is called "kalogeros") is a beach that you absolutely must visit. Its tourist infrastructure is two - three refreshment stands, some rooms to let, a tavern and a beach bar. Nothing else is needed; the rest is added by nature. Be careful on its beautiful sandy beach where "playful" waves are often more than just "playful"... It is 4 km from Makrirachi, but you can also go there through Chorefto, following the road next to the small port. Sothern, a dirty road leads to the relatively unknown beach of Banikas.

It is one of the most famous beaches of Pelion, big in length and in width and it is covered by thick sand and pebbles. Its waters are wonderful aquamarine but it is advisable that you take care because they deepen steeply. The huge rock makes great sense, because it is half on the land and half in the sea. It is preferable by many courageous swimmers in order to have their dips. Á lifeguard station is in operation. In the area you can eat and stay. Upon reaching Argalasti, turn left and follow the road that will take you to the beach after 11 km. Unknown to many tourists is the beach Mourtitsa, to the north of Potistika.

There are two to three accommodation choices, with rooms to rent and a small hotel, while two small taverns are also open. Exactly opposite Palia Trikeri, there are two small uninhabited islets -the larger one is called Pythou-, which are known as "Mikra".

The windless sea, protected by the small island of Alatas, makes Milina's waters resemble those of a lake. You can swim all along the coast in front of the village. The waterfront connecting Milina with Trikeri is pure magic!

An incredible route of about 30 km. along which you will not get enough of the setting, as you pass through the many dispersed small beaches, which are hidden in small coves: Mavri Petra, Agios Andreas, Valtoudi, Marathias, Koukouleika, Kalami, Glaros, Karbes, Panagia, Tzasteni, Kottes… Opposite Milina, you will see the small island of Alatas and a little further the deserted island of Prasouda.

Chorto is one of the most traditional and quiet seaside resorts of Pelion. You can go swimming either at the beach in front of the village or to the many (and hidden) embraces with the turquoise waters on the road towards Milina, such as Vathyspilia. There is also another beautiful beach in front of Leda hotel.
