The Pelion Peninsula was famous in Ancient Greek times for the Centaurs who lived here, including Chiron, the old Centaur who taught many of the Greek heroes.
Pelion is now well known for its outstanding natural beauty , pleasant climate, and unspoilt character, and is perfect for walking and climbing holidays. It is a place for all seasons - from the wild flowers in Spring, cool beauty and clear swimming waters in Summer, the wonderful colours as the trees change their leaves in Autumn, and Winter brings with it snow for skiing and cold, crisp air.
The Pelion Peninsula and it's surrounding areas is still one of the most unspoilt areas 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 everyone at all times of the year.
A favourite spot for city-living Greeks to get away for the weekend, Pelios 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 that surround the area.
