A couple of friends in Athens suggested we take a short trip to Pelion. Pelion is known as the garden of Greece surrounded by many beautiful forests and waterfalls which find their way to small coves. The lovely route to Pelion took us about 4 hours and it was not tiring at all, although the road... More >
We drove from Athens through Volos and reached Pelion after a long drive up a narrow twisty mountain road where good brakes seemed as important as a quick horn. The peninsula was one of the greenest I have ever seen in Greece, and everywhere I turned there were apple trees and olive groves and the... More >
Last summer, after a week in Skiathos, we rented a car from Volos and toured for a couple of days the villages of Pelion. We went to Makrinitsa, Portaria and Hania, the villages closer to Volos. My favourite was Makrinitsa. It had beautiful stone houses on the slopes of the hills that overlooked... More >

Pelion, according to mythology, was the mythical country of the Centaurs and the summer residence of the 12 Gods of Olympus. Pelion combines both mountain and sea, although it is pretty famous for its mountain, especially during autumn and winter, when for many, it is the perfect time to visit.... More >
Pelion is an area for serious Greek Lovers, with its mountains with the scent of herbs, walnut and chesnut trees bearing their succulent nuts in late autumn as they fall from the trees, Fruit trees abound on the mountain and ripen at various levels on the mountains.

The views you get everywhere on the Pagasatic Gulf are incredible. You can compare it with the views on... More >
Pelion is an interesting region to visit as the mountain and coastal regions are quite diverse, yet the distances travelled to get to either are relatively short. Mountain villages such as Lafkos and Vizitsa, have wonderful traditional mansions, many of which have been restored and are now hotels.... More >
The following is an account of my first ever visit to Pelion. This area is very special to me and I have returned a number of times since.
Three and a half hours out of Manchester saw the Air 2000 A321 preparing to descend on to the island of Skiathos. The island and its very short runway were... More >

If you were told of an area of extensive Chestnut forests alongside vast orchards of apple and pear trees, that the area was mountainous yet had splendid beaches and fishing villages, a landscape kept lush and green by an abundance of freshwater springs turning to vibrant reds and gold's as the...

I discovered Pelion through internet search and I made an email reservation in the hotel we stayed at in Kato Gatzea. We had never been to the Pelion area before. Going south from Volos the landscape gets better and better. Kato Gatzea is a small village with many tavernas and our hotel was at its... More >
