5Pelion – The Mountain of the Centaurs

Located in central Greece, the Pelion Peninsula is where many Greeks retreat for both summer and winter vacations. In the summer, the region offers pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters, such as Mylopotamos and Fakistra, while in the winter, locals enjoy skiing in the Pelion ski center.

The villages of Makrinitsa, Portaria, and Tsagarada are known for their traditional stone houses, cozy tavernas, and stunning mountain views. Whether you’re hiking through lush forests or savoring a homemade meal by the sea, Pelion provides an ideal escape from tourist-heavy destinations.
