3Pelion — Between mountain and sea

The Pelion Peninsula, located between Athens and Thessaloniki, offers a unique mix of mountain and coastal experiences.

Its traditional villages — like Makrinitsa, Tsagarada, and Portaria — are famous for their stone mansions, cobblestone squares, and chestnut forests. In winter, fireplaces crackle in boutique guesthouses while the slopes of the Agriolefkes Ski Center attract skiers and snowboarders. Afterward, travelers can unwind in seaside villages like Kala Nera or soak in the thermal springs of nearby Anchialos.
