Mount Pelion is in the eastern part of Magnesia.

Pelion is one of the most famous mountains in Greece, due to its rich history, the countless mythological references and - most importantly - its great natural beauty.

In mythology the Pelion is referred to as the summer residence of the Olympian gods, say something like ... a country house. As we all know country houses are made in beautiful places, so imagine the beauty of the area chosen by gods.

Pelion is characterized by lush vegetation with beeches, oaks, sycamores, apple trees, pear trees, olives, lemon, almond and walnut trees that make the mountain verdant. An important role is played by the several springs in that area, as well as the rainfalls that exceed the average.

The 24 villages and the dozens of settlements located in Pelion are in total harmony with the natural landscape. Milies, Makrinitsa, Portaria, Tsagarada, Zagora and the other picturesque villages attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The number of visitors increases in winter, thanks to Pelion Ski Centre that attracts winter sports enthusiasts.

The entire Pelion is an excellent field for those who love hiking and climbing, as it has wonderful routes crossing impressive landscapes and high peaks exheeding 1500 m.

Pelion is one of those places in Greece that you must definitely visit, at least once in your life.
