Reaching the central square, you will face the perennial plane trees and the church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos (St. John the Baptist) that was built in 1792. Make a stop and refresh yourself with water from the marble fountain of Eternal Water, known as "lions" because of the three lion heads from which the water springs. Continuing your walk, you can visit the Museum of Folk Art and History of Pelion. Chances are that by now you will be hungry, so a good idea would be to try local specialties and other delicacies in the taverns of the village.
