The Pelion Peninsular was famous in ancient Greek times
for the Centaurs who lived here and Chiron, the old Centaur who taught many of the Greek
heroes.
 |
Pelion is now well known for it's outstanding natural beauty, it's
pleasant climate and it's unspoilt character.
It is a place for all seasons, from the wild flowers in spring, cool beauty and clear
swimming waters in summer, wonderful colours as the trees change their leaves in autumn,
snow for skiing and clean air for breathing in the winter.
|
The Pelion Peninsular and it's surrounding areas
is still one of the most unspoilt parts of Greece.
It has not been affected by mass
tourism and the local inhabitants have kept their life style unaffected by the influence
of foreign cultures.

Here you will find everything from the sophisticated city of Volos
to the simplicity of sheep herders spinning their own wool. From the ski slopes of Hania
to the many beautiful beaches of the coastline, Pelion has something to offer to everyone
at all times of the year. |
A favourite spot for city-living Greeks to get away for the
week-end, it has always offered a natural place for real relaxation.
| Running water is one of the typical sights and sounds
of Pelion. Everywhere you go, you will find small streams or rivers gushing down hillsides
or meandering through valleys. The water is complimented by the greenery of the many
different trees and bushes that crowd the hillsides. Pelion Mountain
rises to 1550 meteres with the ski slopes at 1470 metres.
The sea on the north-east side can be wild and stormy but on calm days it
offers beautiful clear water for swimming. On the west side of the peninsular the weather
is more clement and the water is usually a touch warmer. The many beaches vary from
beautiful sea-shaped stones to fine sand.
