The trails of the mythical Centaurs.
Mount Pelion dominates the homonymous peninsula which lays in the Aegean Sea, at the east side of Central Greece. The mountain is covered by thick, lush forests, where the mighty Centaurs had lived, according to the Greek mythology.
Pelion became a prosperous region in the 18th century, due to the production and trading of agricultural products and silk. There are about fifty villages and settlements reflect the cultural, educational and financial flourishing of that period.
Fairytale villages like Portaria, Makrinitsa, Zagora, Chania, Vizitsa, Milies, Argalasti, preserve the traditional architecture on the well-decorated mansions, the cobblestone streets and the scenic squares with massive plane trees in the middle. The local museums are keepers of the region’s history.
Close to the forests of the oak trees, chestnuts and plane trees, the coastline of Pelion shape dramatic landscapes. The seaside villages are built by small fishing ports or dazzling beaches.
Winter or summer, ski or water sports, walking or driving, relaxed holidays or village hopping, mountain or sea? Pelion combines them all, like the Centaurs combined human intelligence with the power of nature.
