Traditional Pelion residence

The Pelion peninsula is situated geographically on the eastern side of Central Greece with a maximum altitude of 1,550m. Pelion is known as the garden of Greece and the mountain of the Centaurs. On the west side picturesque villages are set between shimmering olive groves, whereas on the east dense forests alternate with lush and carefully created terraced fruit orchards. The many waterways find their ways through waterfalls and gorges to meet the see in little bays with sandy beaches. Pelion’s landscapes are ideal for visitors who want to explore its natural beauty on foot. There are many old stone paths and interesting trails which connect the mountain villages with the tiny settlements at the seaside. Pelion is an ideal location for all-year round vacation, as it combines one of the most visited ski-centers in Greece with amazing natural reserves and kilometres of sandy beaches.
