Pelion, is a green mountain close to Volos, which is the capital of the region of Magnesia. It is located in central Greece, by the Aegean Sea. It is the best place for a peaceful weekend.
In Pelion, you can visit museums and learn about the history of Centaurs and Theofilos. Centaurs were mythological creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. Theofilos, was a major folk painter of Neo-Hellenic art. He was from Lesvos, but he lived and painted in Pelion and Volos.
Pelion is actually a large mountain with many traditional villages and exotic beaches. Makrinitsa, Milies and Tsagarada are the most traditional villages of Pelion with grey stone roofs, elegant houses and paved paths. Mylopotamos, Fakistra and Agios Ioannis are popular exotic beaches with deep blue water. Pelion is a favorite destination for all seasons of the year.
There are many delicious restaurants with local dishes such as: " spetzofai ", shells and fish. Tsipouro is a local drink that everyone must taste and take with them, when they leave Pelion.
A steam train, that works only on summer weekends for tourist reasons, departs from Ano Lehonia to Milies, crossing a region of extreme natural beauty.
Whether you want to spend your time shopping or just browsing there are many small shops which sell biological products like local pasta, trahanas, hilopites, aromatic herbs such as oregano, Rosemary, sage, etc. Traditional spoon sweets and flowers like camellia, gardenia and hortensia.
If you want to spend a few days of relaxing family vacation, drink and taste pure traditional products and swim in crystal-blue sea water, then Pelion is the ideal destination for you.
