I had only myself to blame as it was me who had always wanted to visit Pelion due to it being a "typically greek and traditional" type of place. Our apartments were passable.

There are many paths you can follow in order to reach rivers, sea, villages etc. The beaches around are fantastic, the food is great and can be... more
