PELION
Traditional villages, ski slopes, outdoor sports, heavenly beaches and dense forests… a place for all seasons…
To one side, the Pagasitikos Gulf and, to the other, the Aegean. In between, a magical mountain to discover by the name of Pelion! Water gurgles in the fountains. Sunbeams stream through the leaves of the plane trees, apple trees, oaks, beeches, gardenias, hydrangeas, camellias. Nature flourishes in the fertile soil of Thessaly.
In the autumn, a surreal palette of orange and red unfolds before you. Pathways, old churches, beaches with peacock-coloured water all add to this multi-coloured assemblage. Up high, its villages teeter on the edge of the mountain. One weekend is not enough to take it all in. Welcome to magnificent Pelion.

Excursion 2
Cooking lesson at a Farm
This is a 3-hour (about) experiential experience designed to allow visitors to visit the organic log of the farm and collect all the seasonal vegetables needed to prepare their meal, gather fresh eggs from the chicken and herbs from the botanical garden. They then cook traditional Pelio or Greek dishes with the help of local women (every menu consists of 3 dishes) and in the end we all eat together. During the preparation guests can try tsipouro and snacks while their meals are accompanied by wine from the Greek vineyard.
