About Mount Pelion
Mount Pelion (Pήλιο) is the most beautifully forested mountain in Greece and one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the Aegean — a long mountain peninsula extending south of Volos into the Aegean Sea, whose dense forests of beech, chestnut, plane and apple trees (unique in a country of bare limestone peaks), traditional stone-built villages (Makrinitsa, Portaria, Vizitsa, Milies — each preserving the finest example of 18th-century Macedonian-influenced vernacular architecture in Thessaly), ancient kalderimi cobblestone paths connecting village to village and hidden pebble beaches on the eastern Aegean coast give it a landscape of extraordinary completeness and variety. In Greek mythology, Mount Pelion was the home of the Centaurs (the half-horse, half-human beings of antiquity, the wisest of whom, Chiron, was the tutor of Achilles, Jason and Asclepius) and the setting for the wedding of Peleus and Thetis at which the Apple of Discord was thrown.
Pelion's villages — Makrinitsa (the 'Balcony of Pelion', the most beautifully sited village on the mountain, its main square with the massive plane tree, the Ottoman fountain and the view over Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf the finest village panorama in Thessaly), Portaria (the traditional first resort village above Volos, its stone houses and chestnut forests), Tsangarada (on the eastern Aegean side, with the largest plane tree in Greece in its central square, over 1,000 years old), and Milies (with the narrow-gauge steam railway, the Moutzouris — the 'Smoky One' — connecting to Ano Lechonia in the valley) give the peninsula a cultural and natural richness of extraordinary variety across a compact area. The ski resort of Agriolefkes (1,600m, operating December–March) and the famous Pelion beaches (Mylopotamos, Damouchari — used in Mamma Mia filming — Papa Nero) extend the appeal through all four seasons.
Important Transfer Information
Centaur Country — Home of Chiron and the Most Forested Mountain in Greece: Mount Pelion (mythological home of the Centaurs and of Chiron, tutor of Achilles and Jason) is the most densely forested mountain in Greece — its unique microclimate (created by the peninsula's position between the warm Pagasetic Gulf and the cooler Aegean) produces beech, chestnut and apple forests of exceptional beauty, quite unlike the bare limestone landscapes typical of Greek mountains.
Traditional Stone Villages and Ancient Cobblestone Paths: Pelion's network of 18th-century stone-built villages (Makrinitsa, Portaria, Vizitsa, Tsangarada, Milies) connected by ancient kalderimi cobblestone paths (the mule tracks of the Ottoman period, now the finest hiking network in Thessaly) and the Moutzouris narrow-gauge steam railway give the peninsula a heritage landscape of extraordinary completeness and walkable character unique in Greece.
Winding Mountain Road Transfer: The transfer from Volos Airport to Mount Pelion takes approximately 33 minutes despite the short distance of 23km — the mountain road is narrow and winding, ascending rapidly from the Volos plain to the forested plateau. The journey time varies depending on the specific village destination on the peninsula.
