We went to Pelion following advice from a Greek cafe owner in New York and were amazed to discover this wonderful and less known part of Greece. Driving from Athens takes about 3-4 hours and the toll road is fast. The peninsula is incredibly green, even in September we wondered in forests listening to waterfalls and creeks.

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. However, our first day there we went out to... More
