The village of Makrinista is a pure jewel hanging on the side of the amazingly green mountain. It is divided in two settlement, Koukourava and Moutsara, only 500m one from another.

Makrinitsa is known as the "noble village", because it was mostly inhabited by wealthy people. This is why most of the
 
houses in Makrinitsa are noble mansions, very richly decorated. The village is also known as the balcony of Pelion because of its amazing view due to its location (630m above the sea).

The houses have decorated tall walls and window, work of the folk-artists of the region. All the climbing streets of Makrinitsa are stone paved and lead to a beautiful large square, shadowed by tall plane trees; the square has a cafeterias, a lovely basilica (Agios Ioannis Prodromos) and carved marble fountain, built around 1809, and which crystal-clear waters are called Immortal Water.

The whole place expresses tranquillity, beauty and peace. In Makrinitsa, visitor can visit many beautiful churches and basilica as well as the Folklore Museum which has a wonderful collection of rare objects and mementos.
