ARISTOTELIS BASDANIS President of Magnesia Chamber

“Our main concern at the Chamber of Magnesia is to promote qualitative products and services within the tourism industry. Considering this, there has been a proposal about the establishment and operation of a School of Tourism in Magnesia, with our funding, based in Sporades. Already, since 2017, there has been some valuable progress in chamber music’s promotion as an important part of the tourism industry, due to a great initiative of some important Greek personalities in America and philhellenes, by Lincoln Center which is part of Chamber Music Hellas (CMH). Another gainful action was the hosting of a group of American journalists who had the opportunity to try the local, traditional (and unknown for them), cuisine of Pelion and of course the great Greek hospitality. At the same time, in Northern Sporades, the first “On Tour” School of Tourism for professionals of the tourism industry was very successful. The 100th Anniversary of the foundation of the Chamber of Magnesia is to be celebrated in 2019. In order to honor the institution and to give a new boost to what we call "industrial tourism", we have already made a proposal for the utilization of all museum material that we posses, so we can create a Museum of Craft - Industrial History of Magnesia.”

The most densely populated mountain of Greece seems to spring out straight from the sea. From its creation, it has been inhabited by gods, demigods, Centaurs, Dryads, Nymphs, "Giants" and "Titans". It was here where Asclepius was educated on medicine, where Achilles was born from the marriage of the mortal, Pelaeus, with the Nereid, Thetis, where Paris chose Venus, the goddess of Love. From Iolcos, located at its foothills, Jason left for the trip to Colchis on the ship, Argo. Pelion was chosen by the gods of Olympus, way before us, for their summer residence… The natural beauty of Pelion, fascinates, with fundamental element the water that springs up from inside the mountain, flowing in torrents, forming various waterfalls that fertilize the earth, which, in return, reciprocates by constantly 'giving birth" to all of nature's goods, and weaving at the same time an impenetrable veil of green forests that cover it entirely all the way down to the sea. Pelion is a "living" mountain. Its houses are made of materials from the same environment and are completely part of it. You will see hostels that carry within them all the art of the craftsmen of Epirus who were the first to build them, and were to be renovated with respect by their later owners. You will walk through its cobblestone streets that once were the only means of transport and communication for the residents. You will pass over stone bridges and drink water from the innumerable fountains scattered along your way. You will visit the monasteries (Pelion used to be called "the mountain of cells") and the many churches and chapels built centuries ago to warm the souls of the believers. These monasteries host masterpieces of painters, hagiographers and wood-carvers. You will discover what real organic farming is by tasting various unique flavors. And when you arrive at one of its many famous beaches, you will see that the photos do not do justice to the real beauty! Pelion is a righteously structured "book". Each season is another chapter with its own unique beauty. Each place has a separate unity. It was praised by poets and intellectuals alike. Even since antiquity, Homer called Pelion "einosifyllon" (in order to

describe the image of the fluttering leaves as the wind blows through its dense forests). Here, enlightened people founded important schools of "higher education," Locals who immigrated away adored it and gave their properties for the good of their land. The death toll of the Pelion patriots was high during the fight for the liberation of the Greeks. Pelion is not simply a tourist destination. It is the myth, the history, the tradition that is carried in the winds "from end to end," Makrinitsa, Zagora, Tsagkarada, Milies, Trikeri and all the other villages. It is the walks through its paths that alert the senses in order to hear the gallop of the Centaurs. It is the songs and the dances of the "Pelioritic Wedding," the ritual features of nature's worshiping and the Dionysian atmosphere of "Maides". The traditions and customs are not simply a tourist attraction in Pelion, they are assimilated within the life of the residents. Even a ride with the "Moutzouri" train, becomes an initiation, a journey through time. Pelion is an escape, as well as an exploration of the myth, the history and the culture. The fierce and peaceful Pelion, ideally balanced, always exists along the measures of man and a paradise for the lovers of nature. That's the Pelion we present to you, exploring it from end to end. Walk through it, listen to it, experience it. Your choice will be rewarding!

How else can you explain the 200-kilometer coastline and over 80 beaches, many of which remind of exotic destinations? Waters are turquoise, dark blue, clear or green, coasts have golden sand or white pebbles, imposing rocks, they are hidden behind dense vegetation, and they gaze at the endless blue of the Aegean or the calm waters of the Pagasetic Gulf. If, indeed, Pelion was an island, it would -also- be the most popular summer destination of Greece.

"Moutzouris" performed its first itinerary, from Volos to Ano Lechonia, in 1895, to reach for the first time the terminal station of Milies in the summer of 1903. Every day, it used to climb Pelion gasping, transferring people and merchandise till 1971, when it stopped operating. In the spring of 1996 "Moutzouris" returned fiercely with an updated machine. It begins from Ano Lechonia to reach the terminal station of Milies after 15 km. There, its machine is turned manually for the return trip. The route is splendid, passing through ravines, streams, nine bridges -eight stone ones and one metal, De Chirico, to honor the Italian designer of the line- and two small tunnels. This is an unforgettable and “must do”experience!

The religious sentiment of the inhabitants of Pelion is intertwined with their history, their culture and their life itself. Besides, this is evidenced by the hundreds of Christian monuments, which date from the 3rd century, ruins of old Christian temples, significant Byzantine monuments, small and humble chapels, monasteries -in which persecuted Greeks found refuge during the Turkish rule-, which take you centuries back, when monastic life flourished in the entire Pelion. And if it is not so much the religious sentiment, the particular architecture, the wonderful woodcut temples, the vaulted murals, as well as the hagiographies that adorn them, they are themselves a good reason to visit.

Having a trunk perimeter of over 14 meters, and with its branches creating an impressive sculpture, embracing the entire square, this living monument of nature causes awe and admiration when you fist see it.

Subsequent constructions are based on the same "philosophy", maintaining in general the architectural image of Pelion, unchanged. Mansions, tower houses, churches, squares, bridges, cobbled roads, fountains… Wherever you turn your glance, it is magnetized. God's works and men's works in a harmonious coexistence!

Everything there, around, at the "bazaar" as the inhabitants of Pelion call it.

There, he also educated Achilleas, he raised legendary Jason, the leader of the legendary Argonautic expedition. Many villages of Pelion "claim" the famous cave. In any case, the largest and most imposing one is located in South Pelion, between Horto and Milina.

The ideal place for walks and hiking in a wonderful natural environment, adorned with very beautiful arched bridges and public springs (fountains). Several of the paths of Pelion were built during the 18th century, paved with stones (cobbled roads, "kalderimia" in Greek), and they constituted communication roads between the villages and the ports of Pelion. With the passage of time, many of them were destroyed or became forest roads, but some have been maintained in good condition until nowadays, they have been restored and marked, and they are included in the area's maps.

An elaborate wooden door, a flowery yard, a bushy bougainvillea that climbs on a stone wall, a mansion near an abandoned house, a fountain that will satisfy your thirst, the warm welcome of the inhabitants, are small rewards for every time you will get lost in a cobbled road or a dirt small path of the dozens that cross the village.

Several scenes of the movie Mamma Mia, which was such a success, were shot at this exotic area of Pelion -as in Skiathos and Skopelos. Unfortunately, the wooden dock, where the fishing boat that transferred Meryl Streep's daughter, Amanda Seyfried, and where the village's women danced, lies at the bottom of the sea in order to remind the glare of publicity that surrounded Damouchari for two months. Fortunately, Meryl Streep's ‘house’ is still there!

Agrotourism and Ecotourism, intertwined concepts, are nothing more than the active contact with nature, plants and animals, agricultural activities, local gastronomy, fresh air, and warm hospitality. For instance, you can learn recipes of local sweets and watch their production, you can see a local winery, collect olives, and see how olive oil is made, you can get acquainted with the method of flower cultivation, learn about the botanical tradition of Pelion ... In a few words, you can become communicants of agricultural life, by experiencing an actual return -even though temporary- to the traditional way of life.

Many areas in Greece may claim the above expression, but only one deserves it! And this, not only because the landscape's changes will make you wonder "but, was it like this when I was last here?", but also because Pelion's tourist infrastructure is such that you will be served during all seasons. In Spring, nature blossoms at the lower parts, while there is still snow at the higher tops. In Summer, the mountain's green gives its place to the sea's blue. In Autumn, the word "melancholy" obtains another sense, putting in front of it the word "sweet". As for Winter, it keeps its heavy coat for other areas, since here it is mild, so much as the warmth of a burning fireplace to… make you feel warm. Apart from the criterion of the seasons, it is worth experiencing Greek Easter at Pelion. Easter events with a scent of tradition. "Lazarines", small churches, a silent epitaph, which always ends at the square of each village. The "Resurrection" with devoutness, as well as fireworks, and an incredible Sunday in the nature, with the smell of the lamb invading all villages. For big and small celebrations, three-day escapes, weekend escapes or whenever you feel like it, Pelion is here, a firm value for you to choose!

AGIOS ONOUFRIOS It is a small picturesque village, the first one we meet when coming up from Volos. It is worth walking up to the village's square, by the road or by the path. There, you will see Zafiriou mansion, with its marvelous ceiling murals. The Krafsindonas stream, runs almost next to the houses and it will be a beautiful experience walking along it. On the way you will pass by a stone bridge and a small church, built into a rock.

ANAKASIA / ANO VOLOS We are already going up into Pelion and the statue of the mythical Centaur Chiron, in a turn of the road, welcomes us into these two very beautiful villages. They are literally located in the forest and the view of the city of Volos and the Pagasetic gulf is breathtaking. In Anakasia, it is worth visiting the village's square, the Museum of the folk painter Theophilos, the church of Agia Irene in the beautiful small square and further down you will find the central village church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, and the route through the beautiful paths will amaze you. In Ano Volos, you must visit the churches of Panagia and Agia Triada, in their respective squares which have a panoramic view. One of the most breathtaking walks is the one on the hill of Episcopes. There is located the church of Panagia built in 1639. In the past this area used to be a monastery but it has been destroyed. Ano Volos and Anakasia were the two places that the residents of Volos were moved to when the Turks chased them away in 1423.

ALLI MERIA It is a village, "drowned" in green, through which passes the secondary road to Pelion. It is worth sitting in the square, with its exquisite views over the city of Volos. Visit the church of Agios Athanasios, built in the 18th century, the old bakery, in the interior of which you can admire the murals of the painter Theophilos and the Chatziargiris mansion. Every year in May there place a large exhibition of flowers, which are cultivated by the residents of the village. For a beautiful walk, follow the path "Iason".

STAGIATES

ANO VOLOS

Taking a bypass from the main road, after 2 km you get to Stagiates, built on the edge of a steep hillside. In the beautiful square with the big plane tree and the panoramic view of the city of Volos, you will find the church and an old fountain about which there is a story claiming that a sick woman once drank water from the fountain and was healed. Stagiates is also famous for its crystalline water as well for its very tasty traditional sausages that you must try! A little further up from the village there is a monastery, beside which the path to Makrinitsa begins.

THEOFILOS MUSEUM

Portaria is one of the most famous villages of Pelion. The marvelous mansions, the well-looked-after paths, the natural environment, the exquisite view of Volos and the Pagasetic gulf, and its proximity (12 km) from the Ski Centre of Pelion, makes it a beloved destination for any season of the year. Its infrastructure in hotels and hostels is excellent, as well its services in food and entertainment. The village underwent a large growth period at the end of the 18th century and its residents were praised worldwide for their excellence in the production of silk items. Portaria's point of reference is its central square literally covered by plane trees. That's where we are going to start our tour taking four different routes in order to get to know it better. FIRST ROUTE: Below the square there are shops that sell local products, mainly traditional sweet preserves. Nearby there is the Town Hall building and next to it the Museum. Walking downwards, on your left, you will see the church of Agia Marina. From here you start wandering in the labyrinthian and very beautiful cobbled streets of the village. Going uphill, you see the church of Agios Georgios and further to your right, the church of Aghi Anargyri. After a short while you will meet the main road, where you will see the church of Agios Nikolaos (1856), the patron saint of Portaria with its exquisite brocaded temple (1884) and its imposing bell tower. Exactly next to it is the small church of Panagia Portarea (13th century), what is left of the old monastery, around which Portaria was built and to which the name of the village is owed. Further up is the primary school, and under the church of Agios Nikolaos you will find the outdoor theatre, in the "Adelfosynis" square. Walking down the street and passing through the parking area on the corner, you are back to your starting point. SECOND ROUTE: Walking uphill into the square, you pass the "Spyridi" mansion where you see the "Athanasakio Kindergarten", one of the first in Greece, and a few meters further down you will see the Athanasaki mansion which now operates as an Intellectual Centre. From there you can go uphill into the alley to a small fork in the road, the left leads you to the

church of Agia Kyriaki and the right to the "Karavos" waterfall. Then you get to a paved square, called "Mana", among plane trees and waters, where you can rest for a little while. Further up you will find the monastery of Osios Serafim Sarof. From the "Mana" square, walk downhill on the path that leads you through the forest to "Chrysoula Zogia" square, on the main road. Now you have walked through the famous "Centaurs' Path". Nearby is the "Adamenas Spring", where you can drink some water before you return to the square. THIRD ROUTE: At the entry of Portaria is found the square "Taxiarchon" where you can see the stone chapel and enjoy the magnificent and unique view over Volos. A downhill path will take you to the main road and immediately after that to the path "Iason" that leads to Katichori. FOURTH ROUTE: If you walk on the road that leads to Makrinitsa, you will see the woman's monastery of Panagia, the church of Agios Konstantinos and then you will pass alongside the football grounds of the village and the Athletic Centre. On all of the routes you will be impressed by the stone mansions which are true jewels and testify to the way that the residents of Portaria lived in times gone by, and by the masterly fountains that pop up on each corner! In the summer many cultural events take place and the top one of these is an important folklore custom: The "Pelioritic Wedding", which begins each year in the last 10 days of August.

MAKRINITSA The first picture of the village that you will see is breathtaking, the way the village "hangs" on the edge of the mountain! Makrinitsa is also known as the "Balcony of Mt. Pelion", due to its unique view over Volos and the Pagasetic gulf that can be seen from any of its points. Makrinitsa is a historical village of "absolute protection", its admirable mansions date from the 18th and 19th century. Most of these are now used as hostels after being renovated and they offer an "ambient" stay to their visitors. A network of picturesque and skillfully crafted cobblestone streets connects between them the 10 quarters of which the village is constituted. The village was first built in 1204 and during the 15th century it started developing, managing to become the largest village on Mt. Pelion. LET'S GO FOR A WALK… In the main street that crosses the village, you can buy herbs and folk art from the shops. In the square, you can drink your coffee or have lunch under the hundredyear-old plane trees, enjoying the beautiful view over Volos and the Pagasetic gulf. Be refreshed by its fountain (1809), the "Liontaria" or "Athanato nero", take a

Despite its large tourist growth, the life of the residents retains a lot of the elements of the past. You will see the mule-drivers transporting things on their mules and ladies weaving traditionally folk weaves. A lot of residents cultivate and sell apples, chestnuts, potatoes etc to the visitors; and there is no doubt that you will find an abundance of home made sweet preserves, local wine and tsipouro as well as herbs with therapeutic attributes! You must also try the local foods such as spetsofai (spicy sausage specialty), fasolada (bean soup), tiropsomo (bread with feta) and liopsomo (bread with olives). Makrinitsa, has tourism all year round but particularly in the winter - along with Portaria - it is a preferred base for all friends of skiing as it is located only 14 km from the ski centre. If you are here during the summer months, you will have the chance to see many cultural events, with the top one being the presentation of the folklore custom "Maides".

CHANIA / SKI CENTER Continuing from Portaria toward the peaks of Mt. Pelion, after 12 km you will arrive at the settlement of Chania, at an altitude of 1200m. Here, there are many traditional hotels and taverns that offer hospitality to the visitors of the ski resort which is located 2 km higher, in the area "Agriolefkes" and at an altitude of 1529m. It is one of the most beautiful ski resorts in Greece, set in a forest full of beech trees; it has the exclusive privilege of a panoramic view of two seas, the Pagasetic and the Aegean. When the sky is clear, the eye can see all the way to Mount Athos ! It is a one of a kind feeling that you will not get anywhere else, making a visit to the Ski Resort, a magnificent experience even for those who are not there for skiing. There are four main slopes, a slope for beginners as well as a long-distance skiing slope. You will also find restaurants, refreshment stands and ski schools where you can rent ski equipment. Chania is a cool place for the summer and that's why many visitors prefer it as their base for visiting and discovering Pelion.

DRAKEIA

From the center of Agria, the road to the "Martyr Village" of Drakia begins. It was named this way, because German conquerors executed 118 of its inhabitants on December 18th 1943. It used to be one of the largest villages of Pelion but the earthquakes in 1955 destroyed its magnificent mansions almost completely. It is located in an idyllic environment with rich vegetation and a walk through its paths will calm you. Find somewhere to sit in its two squares, visit the Museum and the churches, see the mansion of "Triantafyllou" with its murals from the 18th century and its old mills. It is worth visiting the area of Anemoutsa where there is an old monastery and a church with an enormous cross.

AGIOS LAVRENTIOS Agios Lavrentios is a monument of Pelioritic Art, with its marvelous mansions and its network of cobblestone streets of a length of 7 km. Visit the monastery, that was founded in 1378, the churches of Agios Apostolos o Neos and of Agios Dimitrios, and its very beautiful square where you can sit for food or coffee with an amphitheater view over the Pagasetic gulf. Each year, in the summer, many cultural events take place such as the Music Festival and the Cherry Feast.

LECHONIA Lechonia are two villages right after Agria, in a fertile verdurous region, full of floricultures and fruit-bearing trees. Among the sights is the train station for the little train of Pelion, the old neoclassic houses, the two imposing towers that have been there since the Ottoman rule, the old silk-mills and the old olive press. It is worth taking the route up to the sea, to the coasts of Platanidia, Chatzivageli and Karnagio, where in the summer you can swim and sit in the beach bars and taverns. From Ano Lechonia starts the road that

On this road, a little further up from Ano Lechonia is the little settlement of Palaiokastro that has only a few houses, a small square and its paths that create a scene from the past. There is trout breeding to be found.

PLATANIDIA / MALAKI Platanidia is a peaceful coastal settlement, 1 km from Ano Lechonia, where you can stay, eat and swim.

Kato Gatzea, is an idyllic coastal village with a quiet tourism that makes it one of the appreciable seasonal resorts of Pelion. It is worth dining in the taverns right next to the sea with its small beautiful harbor, swimming in the beautiful beach of "Sykia" where you can find two very well organized camping sites. In the summer there are important cultural events taking place and on the 13th & 14th of September there is the local festival.

ÁNO GATZEA / AGIA TRIADA Just before reaching Kato Gatzea, follow the bypass on the left, to get to the villages of Ano Gatzea and Aghia Triada, which are literally "buried" in the green of olive groves. From here passes the little train of Pelion that stops at the station for a visit to the Museum of Olive and Oil. See the churches and the monastery of Aghia Triada and walk on the train lines up to the big stone bridge and the tunnel from which the little train passes. The road continues to the village of Agios Georgios.

KALA NERA It is one of the most popular coastal resorts of West Pelion, with important tourism, complete tourist infrastructure and a market of commercial shops. Kala Nera owes its name to the abundant waters of the area, while the plane trees and eucalyptus trees reach the sea, creating natural shading. Its beach is one of the longest in Pelion, with beautiful sand, clean sea, and the trees reach up to the beach. Little boats take daily cruises on the Pagasetic gulf and also go to the islands of North Sporades.

KALA NERA

It is one of the most cosmopolitan resorts of Pelion. It is built amphitheatrically and has three splendid beaches: Abovos, Kalifteri and Lagoudi. Right next to the sea you will find a lot of taverns and coffee shops and in the square of the village there is a fountain where, according to legend, Jason and the Argonauts took water before they started their trip. A unique spectacle is the sunset! We suggest you try a beautiful walk of 3 km to the village of Lefokastro. You can stay or have dinner and drink at the hotel “Karavia Lux Inn” which is located just above the village. The view from there is magnificent!

AFETES Afetes is located 3,5 km after the junction of Afissos. Walk to the beautiful square with its beautiful view and the enormous plane trees that offer coolness in the summer months and see the church that was built in 1802. There is also a high chimney that belongs to the olive press. There are three stone bridges in the region that invite you to discover them. It is worth walking from the path all the way to Afissos. You can also visit the "Panagiotiko" dam, that is located 4.5 km after the village of Afetes.

ÌÉLIES Milies has everything. Long history, with the School of Milies constituting a spiritual home during the years of the Turkish rule, personalities that played leading roles in the enlightenment of the Nation, authentic Pelion architecture, paths, covered fountains, great buildings, a museum, a historical library, the famous church of Pammegisti Taxiarches at its beautiful square, significant tourist infrastructure, and, of course, "its" small train, Moutzouris, which has its terminal station here, in a green landscape. The village of Milies is one of the most popular destinations in Pelion due to its key position to the villages of the East, South Pelion and the Pagasetic gulf, but also because of its natural beauty, history and intellectual heritage. The village extends into two neighborhoods. For the upper neighborhood the main point of reference is the square which is spacious and has views over the Pagasetic gulf as well as two traditional cafes restaurants. Visit the church of Pammegiston Taxiarchon (1741) with its domes which cannot be seen from the exterior and which are famous for their unique acoustics. Along the side of the main street there are commercial shops, restaurants and coffee shops. There you can find the Library of Milies in which thousands of rare documents have been rescued as well as other historical heirlooms such as the flag of the Revolution of Pelion in 1821. Next to it is the Museum with contains objects of traditional professions and has rich photographic material. Next to the square is the marble fountain "Vaptisi" where the blessing of the waters takes place. In the lower neighborhood, in the area where the little train of Pelion terminates, is a very beautiful natural landscape from where you can see the railway Station. It is worth walking to the cave of the Centaur Chiron. Well-looked-after cobblestone streets, many traditional fountains and old mansions compose a picture of rare harmony in your wanderings. We suggest you three routes for walking along these paths that all begin at the square: The first one leads to the railway station, the second to the neighbouring village of Vyzitsa and finally, the third one, which is much longer ends in the village of Tsagkarada (duration 3.5 to 4 hours). You can also explore the area on horses (6972508197). For swimming during the summer the nearest beaches in the Pagasetic gulf, are the ones of Boufa, Kala Nera, Ramnos and Afissos and in the Aegean Sea are the beaches of Kalamaki and Lampinou.

At Milies with "Moutzouris" The small train of Pelion "Moutzouris", the tourist attraction of Pelion, does not release smoke anymore from its funnel, as it did since 1895, when it climbed Pelion gasping, transporting people and merchandise and reached its terminal station at Milies, for the first time during the summer of 1903. The railway of "Moutzouris" was designed by the Italian engineer Evaristo de Chirico. It is 28 km long and only 60 cm wide. The small train executed daily itineraries until 1971, when it was withdrawn. In the spring of 1996 "Moutzouris" returned more fiercely with a new diesel engine. It begins from Ano Lechonia and follows an excellent route through ravines, streams, nine bridges eight stone ones and a metal one (the most impressive point, which is about 800 m. before the station of Milies), "De Chirico", in honor of the Italian designer of the line- and two small tunnels ("mout'ka", as they are called by the locals). At some points, it offers unobstructed view to the Pagasetic Gulf. It ends at Milies after 15 km, following a stop at Ano Gatzea for 15'. There, the engine is manually turned for the return trip.In July and August, "Moutzouris" operates daily, while from middle April until the end of June and from September until the end of October, it operates only during weekends. Multimember hiker groups (e.g. schools) can rent the train even out of season, following an agreement. Itineraries: From Ano Lechonia: 10:00 - From Milies: 15:00. Tel.: +3024210 39723

AGIOS GEORGIOS It is one of the most historical villages of Pelion. Built amphitheatrically, it offers a magnificent view to the Pagasetic Gulf and it is all green. Aghios Georgios has been inhabited for 500 years, and it has been one of the richest large villages of Pelion, with rich spiritual development. Being a typical village of Pelion, Aghios Georgios does not lack famous mansions, such as the ones of Ioannidis (1888), Derelis and Tzortzis. At the beautiful square, under the plane trees, you can enjoy your coffee, before beginning your exploration. Visit the church of Aghios Georgios. The church's long story begins in the 15th century, when shepherds found under a bush the icon of army leader Aghios Georgios, and this is why they built the homonymous church, around which the village was formed. At the basement of the temple, a very notable ecclesiastical museum also operates. There are two other significant churches, the one of Aghios Athanasios (1795) and the one of Assumption of Virgin Mary (1742). You should also visit the Art Museum of sculptor and engraver Nicholas, who has also crafted the bronze bust that is found in the yard. On the road towards Aghios Vlasios, you will find the monastery of Pammegisti Taxiarches, which was initially built in the 12th century. Today it is a women's monastery. You can go hiking up to Agriolefkes, Kato Gatzea and "conquer" one of the highest peaks of Pelion, called "Schitzouravli".

AGIOS VLASIOS It is a quiet village, and although it has not been developed as a tourist destination, it is preferred by visitors for the tran-

quility that it emits and also for its beautiful views of the Pagasetic gulf. The paved cobbled roads of Agios Vlasios will lead you, through its few old small houses, to the church of Agioi Apostoli or to the quiet paved square with the perennial plane trees, in an idyllic landscape, where you will feel that time has stopped. It is famous, for the special kind of peaches that are cultivated, called "lemonata". Visit the church of Agios Vlasios and take a walk via a beautiful route up to the next village of Agios Lavrentios. The small lugger, exact copy of a Viking ship, which is found on a rooftop, exactly under the temple's yard, is the one with which a Norwegian traveled from his homeland for more than a year- to finally come and settle here.

Lefokastro is a small settlement, the Pelion's "hermitage", with just a couple of taverns and several accommodation suggestions. You can swim at the beach in front of the settlement but also at other beaches nearby. On the route Lefokastro - Afissos there is a very beautiful beach of Aghia Efthimia and just after that the beach of Razi. If you continue, you will get to the chapel of Prophitis Ilias. In the region there is also a small arched bridge (1891), night Byzantine churches and a fountain that has been there since 1777. All these discoveries signify that the region had been inhabited since the Early Christian period.

ARGALASTI The largest village of South Pelion, Argalasti, is built on a fertile plateau with olive trees, grapes and figs, keeping the traditional style with a mild growth in the tourist field. In the region, Argalasti is a "strategic" place for your wanderings. Argalasti has a bank, a post office, gas stations, and at the same time, it constitutes the commercial center of the area, since it has a big enough market, which is visited by many inhabitants of the surrounding villages. The belfry at the entrance to the metropolitan cathedral of Apostolon Petrou ke Pavlou (1886) is a characteristic monument which is made of marble and was constructed to a model of the church of Agia Fotini in Smyrna, with big clocks and two Russian bells. At the village's center, you can find the square, with taverns and commercial stores around it, from where the untouched side streets start, which are hidden from the central road and lead you to neoclassical mansions. You will see the house of Dimadis, member of Filiki Etaireia (Society of Friends), Chatzinikos mansion -a building of 1880, with intense signs of the ravage of timewhich has been characterized as listed, and, of course, the building of the Greek School, the "Girls School", of which the

CHORTO

locals are very proud. You can drink water from fountains, the names of which have been linked with local legends, and which are considered to be significant sights. You will also see stone arched bridges, such as the bridge at Katsilochori (the entrance of the village). We suggest you to walk from the square to the Byzantine Abbey of Agios Nikolaos Paou (1732) from where you will enjoy a view over the coasts of Pagasetic gulf and the islet of Alatas (2.5 km). The closest choices for swimming are Potistika, Melani, Mourtitsa, Paltsi (toward Aegean) and Paou, Belian, Kalamos, Lefokastro (toward Pagasetic). At the end of August, the two-day "Celebration of the Truffle Mushroom" is organized.

KALAMOS / PAOU After Argalasti you continue south for 800m and turn right at the junction. Continue approximately the same distance and take the path on the left after you pass the old monastery of Agios Nikolaos - the path takes you to the settlement of Paou where you will find two beautiful and deserted beaches. The route is gorgeous with views over the lacy coasts of the Pagasetic gulf, the islet of Alatas and Milina. If you continue to the right, at the previous junction you will arrive after 4 km at the small coastal settlement of Kalamos.

METOCHI From Argalasti, you continue on the main road going to the south and after 2 km you will see a junction: The road on your right, takes you to Chorto and Milina and the one on your left takes you to Metochi. We follow the second one. At the entrance opposite the spring an old bulldozer will intrigue your curiosity. In the square is the church of Zoodochos Pigi (1860) with its antiquated icons. Metochi is a small village and has not developed its tourism; however it has an amazing view over the lacy coasts of the Pagasetic gulf.

LAFKOS Lafkos is one of the most beautiful villages of Pelion, built at the top of a ridge with amazing views over the Pagasetic gulf and Milina. Walking through it you will be impressed by the neatness of the houses with their flowery yards, its mansions, many of which have become hostels, but mainly by its romantic and nostalgic style of "other eras". Its paved square is gorgeous with the gigantic plane trees, the taverns, the small coffee shops and the old bakery (1911) that makes unique olive bread (eliopsomo). The church of Theotokos (1890) with its very high and imposing belfry that is visible from a distance, will guide you. Behind the church are the «Radio Museum», in which you will see the permanent exhibition of the collection of radios from all over the world, which were donated by German scientist Wilfried Shoeps (11-1 in the morning and 7-9 in the afternoon). Behind the church, at the old school of the village, the sculptures of Thanasis Fampas, made of white marble from Pelion and 60 paintings are exhibited. Exactly below, in the building's basement, the Folk Museum operates. It is worth walking up to the small church of Profitis Ilias, or to walk on the cobbled road that leads to Milina. In July the "International Days of

AGIA KYRIAKI

CHORTO Moving downwards the road after Argalasti, a complex of lacey beaches awaits you Chorto is one of the most traditional and quiet coastal resorts of Pelion, however there are many places where one can have fun and taste traditional flavors. Several findings in the area testify that this is where the ancient city of Spalafthra used to be. During the years of the interwar period, Chorto was the port, from which the olive production of Southern Pelion was exported. In the Museum, you will see some of the traditional costumes of Pelion, old objects and photographs. Many cultural events are also organized here. For swimming you can go either to the beach in front of the village or to many of the other (hidden) small beaches with their aquamarine waters located nearby. Going to Milina, you will find a large cave that was said to be the residence of the Centaur Chiron.

MILINA Milina is a quiet picturesque village that in the summertime is transformed to an ideal holiday destination full of life! The waters are calm as a lake, there are many beaches scattered around and the sunsets are unique! Milina's waterfront is unraveled parallel to the street, and taverns, tsipouro taverns, cafes, and bars array their tables on it… There are super markets, tourist stores, commercial shops, and whatever else a tourist place should have, so that you don't miss anything. Dozens of places to rent, hotels, studios, and a camping, offer you many choices for your stay, along Milina's coastline, which is many kilometers long In the cove of Valtoudi you will see a multicolored picture of wooden boats, fishing boats and sailing boats - which are rentable for tours. Exactly opposite is the islet of Alatas with the monastery of Aghii Saranta. Just before Milina, as you are coming from Chorto, there is a large cave that is said to have been the residence of the Centaur Chiron. In the region of Aghios Andreas there used to be an ancient city known as Olizon. The road continues towards Trikeri and the spectacle is breathtaking! A splendid route of roughly 30 km that passes by many scattered little beaches that are hidden in small bays (you must stop and take a photograph of the beautiful beach of Tzasteni!). On this route you will see Prasouda, a small deserted island that has on it the monastery of Zoodochos Pigi. Pass Aghios Andreas and a dirt road on your left will take you to one of the best hidden beaches in all of Pelion, the beach of Chondri Ammos. At the end of June, the international meeting and camping of the friends of classic vehicles of all kinds is organized at the old community camping of Milina. In addition, in the middle of August, "Milina's Night", with theatrical performances, concerts and traditional music is organized.

AGIA KYRIAKI In the southern part of Pelion, this very beautiful fishing village reminds you of an Aegean island village with its white houses built amphitheatrically and the multicolored fishing boats at one end of the harbor. If you want absolute calmness and peacefulness in South Pelion this is the place you are looking for! You will see the church of Aghia Kyriaki (1786) and the Karnagio, where the fishermen bring their fishing boats for repair. Walk uphill to the neighbouring location «Geroplina», where the lighthouse is, or follow the cobblestone path up to the village Trikeri. You can swim at the beach of Mylos and also in the scattered, small and hidden beaches nearby. You should definitely sit at the taverns by the wave and taste fresh fish and the delicious crawfish spaghetti!

TRIKERI Reaching the indent of the moorage of Trikeri (20 km. from Milina), you have two choices: going left from the new road, you first pass through the coastal village of Agia Kyriaki and then move upwards for Trikeri. Continuing straight ahead, you will first pass through the picturesque coastal settlement of Kottes. We go right… Trikeri is built on the top of a hill with panoramic view. It is a village in which you could say that time has stopped, with its houses cuddled together on its narrow streets. You can leave your car at the parking, by the road, and you will move upwards the narrow road, which leads to two cool squares, with coffee shops and rotisseries, one almost opposite the other. Walk up to the top of the hill to enjoy the splendid view and to see the church of Aghia Triada that has a wood carving from the throne of Napoleon Bonaparte. The churches of Agioi Anargyri, Agios Athanasios, and Agios Nikolaos come into sight in their turn, along with the old mansions and tower-houses (17 in total), with "Fourtouna" tower-house being the characteristic one (ask for the mayor's house), which is the only one that is still inhabited, and it has been transformed into a small private museum. The maritime history of the inhabitants of Trikeri is glorious. They used to travel to the countries of the Mediterranean with their ships, trading. Én the fight for liberation from the Turks they participated with 20 army ships and some of their cannon have been rescued. Their customs are celebrated in a special way and all the residents and the visitors are participating.

PALIO TRIKERI ISLAND A beautiful excursion is to take a short trip to the islet of Palio Trikeri. To get there you can go by sea-taxi (tel. 6980515111) either from Agia Kyriaki or from Alogoporos which is 6.5 km away (you can eat there at Niko’s tavern). In the islet you must visit the monastery of Panagia. Returning to Milina you will pass from Kottes, a coastal settlement that is famous for its fish-taverns.

ZAGORA

An historical village hidden in an idyllic natural environment. An uphill cobblestone street leads you to the "Balcony of the Aegean" with its three level square (the only one in Pelion), with an amphitheatrical views over the Aegean and the beach of Chorefto. A little further up you will see the church of Agios Dimitrios (1743) with its imposing belfry. It is worth exploring the deserted village of "Palia Mitzela" and swimming at the beaches of Analipsi, Elitsa and Ovrios.

ÆÁGORA Wonderful mansions, a remarkable library, the historical Greek School, dozens of impressive churches, samples of the significant financial boom that the village enjoyed in the past appear everywhere, explaining why in old times the "back villages" of Pelion were called "villages of Zagora", and why Pelion itself used to be known as Zagora's mountain. With Chorefto as its harbor, it holds a remarkable position in the tourist map of Pelion. Zagora is the biggest village of East Pelion and also the most historical one. Archaeological findings testify that there was a pre-Christian town there. The village has 3,000 inhabitants, and is built amphitheatrically at the N.E. slopes of Pelion, at an altitude of about 450 550 meters It is divided into four large quarters: Aghia Paraskevi, Aghia Kyriaki, Aghios Georgios and Sotira. The people of Zagora blossomed in the middle of the 18 century mainly due to the production and trading of silk which they exported using the famous "Ships of Zagora" all over the Mediterranean, something that gave them a significant position in all of Pelion. In days gone by, Pelion was known as the "mountain of Zagora". You must visit the historical library in the square of Aghios Georgios that houses roughly more than 20.000 books, many of which are very old and very rare. Not forgetting the “Ellinomouseio” (School of Rigas Feraios) that at the end of the 18th century was developed into an intellectual centre not only of Pelion but also for the whole Greece. Zagora is famous for its apples "Zagorin" that are exported all over the world. Apple trade is the main financial source of the inhabitants, who work for its production almost all year round. Walking in the village you will be impressed by the large number of churches (38), the old monasteries, the renovated mansions, many of which have their characteristic painted windows and also by the monumental fountains. At the square of Agios Georgios, the old mansions of Kapsiotis and Drakopoulos are impressive. On the upper floor of the latter, there is a guesthouse, which is operated under the responsibility of the Women Agrotourist Association of Zagora, while on the ground floor there is the preparation

ZAGORA

room of the association (sweets, liqueurs, etc.). Just outside the village (as you head north towards Pouri), you will encounter the monastery of Panagia Rasouva (1300) with its impressive domes, which may remind you of camel humps. You will see a narrow and uphill dirt road. If you have a 4x4 vehicle, you will not encounter any difficulties in following the dirt road for 3 kilometers, until you reach the abandoned monastery, hidden in lush vegetation. In addition, before reaching the first district, Agia Paraskevi, make a stop at the road's turn, at Mega Galanorema position, to see the stream's waters that pass under the bridge, as well as the monument of the fighters and victims of National Resistance. The "Apple Festival", which takes place in September, as well as the International Festival of Pelion, with seminars and concerts, are significant events. The haven of Zagora, magical Chorefto, with the biggest beach in the entire Pelion, is located just below.

CHOREFTO It has the longest beach in Pelion (over 2 km), that can comfortably sit thousands of people and it has a very good tourist infrastructure. Along the coastal zone, you will find several stores for food or coffee, super markets and everything that you need In the old days (18th century) people from Chorefto used to load their products onto the famous "Ships of Zagora", for the markets of Europe and the East. Further north there is the beautiful beach of Parisena and if you walk along the coastal path you will also find other smaller beaches. Visit the chapels of Agios Nikolaos (1651) and Ai Giannis (1800). On its southern part there is a small harbor, where small boats can drop anchor. If you continue, either on foot or by car, you will reach the amazing beach of Agioi Saranta.

MAKRIRACHI Makryrachi, is very well known for its flowers, mainly gardenias, camellias, hydrangeas, magnolias etc. that you will see them lined up in flowerpots being sold by the locals along the street. It is interesting to see the church of Timios Prodromos (1851), the chapel of Athonas with its small pretty square, where in August an exhibition of flowers is organized. Makryrachi is mainly known for the beach of Agii Saranta, one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. The road begins in front of the church and passes the beach (after 4 km) then continues to Chorefto.

ANILIO Anilio is a small village, which is slowly turning into a tourist destination. There is a very beautiful square there, where you

will see the church of Agios Athanasios (1785), with its imposing volume and the slab-covered roof, and next to it a series of platforms, which hosts the village's events. There are many chapels in the area, at the place of old monasteries. You can buy flowers, as well as homemade sweets and drinks, which are produced by the Women Association… Going downhill toward the sea there is a narrow dirty road on your left which leads to the relatively unknown beach of Banikas. Once there you can see a cave which according to myth was Centaur's Chiron residence. At the end of the asphalt road that moves downwards from Anilio towards Agios Ioannis, a passable dirt road passes above the captivating beach of Plaka and it continues to the chapel of Panagia Faneromeni.

One of the most picturesque villages of Pelion, well "hidden" in the forest, with panoramic views over the neighbouring villages and the Aegean Sea. In its beautiful square there is the church of Agia Marina (17th century). It is one of the most important ecclesiastical monuments of Pelion, with four interior cupolas, a unique gold-plated wood carved temple and impressive hagiographies. It is more than worth the walk to go to the chapel of Aghios Efstathios (1762), which was used as a lair for the "Filiki Eteria" and to admire the splendid views from there.

AGIOS DIMITRIOS It is located directly above Agios Ioannis. It is an underpopulated village set in greenery and flowers, it extends along a "ridge" that faces the sea and is traversed by a large network of cobblestone streets. Calm and peaceful, it is preferred by those visitors who wish to stay right in the middle of nature and only a short distance from the sea. A beautiful attraction is the church of Agios Dimitrios, at the turn of the road. You may also visit the little chapel of Ai-Giannakis, built in an idyllic location.

AGIOS IOANNIS Agios Ioannis is the most cosmopolitan summer resort of Pelion and has an exemplary tourist infrastructure. The beach is directly in front of the village and one part of the beach is organized and has a lifeguard station. On the north side there is a small harbor, and right next to it there is a small path that leads to the beautiful beach of Plaka. A beautiful attraction in the village is the pedestrian zone, with a lane for bicycles, which runs along the coastal front and ends at the beach of Papa Nero. Next to the parking, there is a large summer camp for children (since 1924) and the church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, next to the river of Mavroutsa, with its

The village is so beautiful that it will remind you of a scene from a movie and in fact, "Mamma Mia" the movie which was filmed here. It is separated into two parts by a rocky "tongue", where there are the ruins of a medieval Castle and the old monastery of Agios Nikolaos (1744). On the left, you will see the picturesque harbor and on the right, the pebbly beach. Passing the wooden bridge and following the path will take you to Tsagarada. You can also walk north to the next beach of Papa Nero.

MOURESI Mouresi is one of the most beautiful "balconies of the Aegean", it is chosen by many visitors as their base for the summer, specifically for swimming at the beautiful beaches of Damouchari and Papa Nero. Mouresi also has a very beautiful and peaceful square, where you will see the church of Agia Triada. Going down to the sea, an alley on the right, leads you to a beautiful place called "Tsouka", with magnificent view. Continuing along the path will lead you straight to Damouchari.

TSAGARADA Let's say that you want a village that has it all. Shady squares, fruit trees, running waters, fog, paths, stone bridges, imposing churches, renaissance buildings, tradition, atmospheric guesthouses, and impressive beaches. It is as if you are gathering the best ingredients of Pelion into one! This is Tsagarada. Unique and unprecedented. Tsagarada is one of the most beloved destinations of Pelion set in the forest and full of floricultures. It faces the

PAPA NERO

Aegean, it is underpopulated, it has exceptional mansions and beautiful traditional squares and it also has an admirable tourist infrastructure in all fields. It is constituted by four quarters: Aghii Taxiarches, Aghia Paraskevi, Aghios Stefanos and Aghia Kyriaki. Tsagarada was first constructed around 1600 and the first houses were built by the sea but because of a fear of pirates the village expanded upwards towards the heights. In the 18th century the main occupation of the residents was the production of silk and wool materials. Later a lot of the residents immigrated to Egypt where they prospered but they never forgot their homeland and they helped it in every way possible. It had a special economic and intellectual blossoming, that is demonstrated by the Achillopouleio Commercial School (1865), that today functions as a Library and Museum, the Nanopouleio School (1909), which is the most impressive building of Tsagarada and is where the Primary School now operates and which in the summer in its schoolyard there are many artistic events and also the Kartaleio Primary School as well as others. The tourist attraction of the village is undoubtedly the thousand-year-old plane tree in the square of Aghia Paraskevi, the trunk of which has a perimeter of roughly 14 m. and its shade in the summer embraces the entire square. The fountain with four faucets that is found in the square of Aghii Taxiarches is also remarkable. Other sights, not counting its beautiful squares, that Tsagarada has to show are the churches, most of which were built in the 18th century. Your wanderings in the region, through the labyrinthian network of cobblestone streets, as well as in the chestnut forest and plane tree forest, should be a living experience! We suggest you take a walk: from the Taxiarches square to the square of Agia Paraskevi, and toward Xourichti, passing via the arched stone bridge that will fascinate you, and from the square of Agia Paraskevi to the coastal settlement of Damouchari. However the most precious legacy was gifted to the region by nature, offering us beaches of incredible beauty such as Mylopotamos and Fakistra. Mylopotamos is one of the most famous beaches of Pelion. You can access it from the intersection of the main road between Agia Paraskevi and Taxiarches (7 km), as well as from the districts of Agia Paraskevi and Agios Stefanos. About 100 steps stand between you and the crystal clear turquoise waters and the pebbled coast, which is organized. On the left side of the beach, there is a big hole on the rock that leads you to the second part of the beach, which is smaller and relatively more quiet.

Fakistra is the second beach of Tsagkarada. The road passes through the district of Agia Kyriaki. You can park at the small plateau and continue on foot following a path (which is stone built at the beginning) for about 10 minutes. The view is unique while moving downwards. Here there is neither a beach bar, nor umbrellas and sunbeds to rent. Just small pebbles and crystal clear waters. Even though Fakistra is not as well known as Mylopotamos, this did not prevent the readers of "The Guardian" to vote it as the seventh universally best beach, in the category "Most impressive"! It is worth attending the Tsagarada Escape Festival. A four-day Festival of Mountain & Sea Sports, with outdoors sport activities, climbing, gorge descent, mountain biking, sea canoe, archery, horseback riding, mountain running etc., thematic events such as workshop for the flora, herbs, photography exhibitions, as well as live music events.

The landscape going toward Xourichti starts to get wild, but at the same time is very impressive. You will see the «Open Theatre» that uses to host cultural events during the summer months. It is worth taking a walk up to the small but very beautiful square of the village. In this area is found the impressive gorge of Koutra which you can explore it with the help of experts. At the end of October, the Feast of Chestnut takes place. You can swim on the beach of Limnionas.

Folklore says that the captain of a boat that was traveling at night encountered a ferocious storm. The captain asked the Virgin Mary to help him and then saw a light (Lampidona) lighting up a beach where he could land and tie up his boat in safety. Thereafter he built a small church that he named Lampidona, and that is where the village Labinou took its name. Later a monastery was built but today has been abandoned. The village is very small and in its little square there is only one tavern. The beach is beautiful and it is worth swimming there.

KALAMAKI The first image you will see is the huge quarries, from which the famous stone slab of Pelion is mined, but don't stay there… The village hides many surprises with its wonderful neoclassic houses, the picturesque cobbled roads, the magnificent view to the Aegean Sea, the square with its cafe, the restaurants, the perennial huge plane tree dominating in the middle, and a few meters higher, the church of Agios Athanasios. This is an ideal place

for anyone who wants to experience closely peace and quiet, by breathing the fresh air of the virgin nature within a traditional setting. Moving on the downhill road, after 2 km you will find yourself at the homonymous beach of the village (a restaurant operates there), with its pebbled beach and the crystal clear waters. From here, many years ago, small donkeys used to climb uphill to be loaded with the stone destined for Mount Athos.

SYKI The village is 6 km. away from the ‘delta of Argalasti’. Moving on the road, you will encounter the women's monastery of Timios Prodromos, which was built in 1795. At the entrance, the small church of Profitis Ilias welcomes you, from where the view is majestic, as Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos lie in front of you. The modern village began being built at the end of the 14th century or the beginning of the 15th century. During the course of history, the village was raided by pirates and Turks, it was deserted, but thanks to the stubbornness of the inhabitants of Syki, it was built again and kept alive. The church of Agios Georgios, which was initially built in 1777, and after successive destructions was rebuilt in 1940 at the same position, is the village's reference point. The route through lush vegetation and color changes will lead you down to the crystal clear beaches of Syki: Potoki and Pantazi Ammos (routes of about 3 km.).

XINOVRYSI / POTISTIKA From Argalasti, a road begins (to the left of the central one), which leads you after 6.5 km to Xinovrysi. It is a small village with a beautiful square and the church of Panagia (1778). After continuously driving toward the sea you will, after 4.5 km, reach a marvelous beach: Potistika, with its long sandy beach that has an enormous rock in the middle of it. In this area you can eat and stay. Further north, there is the "unknown" beach of Mourtitsa (you can get there on foot) and further to the south - right next to it, is Melani, which has as long and as beautiful a beach as the one in Potistika.

Paltsi located 12 km eastern to Argalasti. It is a settlement built amphitheatrically in a captivating small bay where you can find the magnificent beach of Agios Konstantinos. The road (4x4) continues behind the beach and through a landscape of beauty it passes through the settlement of Patrichori (under Promyri) and Mourtia. From there the road becomes passable asphalt and continues to Katigiorgi and Platania. Just before Paltsi, a bypass on the left, leads you to the beautiful and usually deserted beach of Melani.

After Lafkos and before you reach Promyri, on your right hand, you will come across a crossroads that leads, after 7 kilometres, to Platanias. Here you can also find the ancient village Afetes, where the Argonauts started their voyage to Colchis. Although a fishing village, it is one of the most popular resorts of Southern Pelion, with very good tourism infrastructure. Its port is the largest fishing haven of Pelion, where you will definitely find fresh fish, and during summer months, it is connected, with excursion yachts, with Skiathos, exactly opposite the village, and the other islands of the Northern Sporades. All along the port, you can find fish taverns, coffee shops, supermarkets and everything you might need. There are numerous hospitality options, with the capacity of hosting more than 800 people. You can even choose to stay in the very nice camping almost by the sea. The beach is large and next to it (after 10 minutes walk through a beautiful path) you can find the lovely Mikro with its equally wonderful beach, rooms to stay, taverns and coffee shops. In the settlement of Mousges, there is the women's monastery of Saint Spyridonas and its chapel Panagia Mousgiotissa (1800), with the superb icons, where there is a big feast on the 7th of September. What is notable is the activities of the association "Friends of Platanias", which organizes every year, among others, the local traditional feast. Platanias has its annual religious feast on the 1st of July, the day of commemoration for Saint Cosmas and Damianos. Kastri is a settlement east of Platanias, (6.5 kilometres) with a superb beach, where there is a small but beautiful camping and it is also a point of reference for the fans of windsurfing.

It is one of the most exotic beaches in Pelion! Agii Saranta, with its imposing rock (it is called "kalogeros") is a beach that you absolutely must visit. Its tourist infrastructure is two - three refreshment stands, some rooms to let, a tavern and a beach bar. Nothing else is needed; the rest is added by nature. Be careful on its beautiful sandy beach where "playful" waves are often more than just "playful"... It is 4 km from Makrirachi, but you can also go there through Chorefto, following the road next to the small port. Sothern, a dirty road leads to the relatively unknown beach of Banikas.

Kato Lechonia At a small distance after Agria, as you are moving towards Southern Pelion, passing the bridge of Vrychonas river, a small road to the right will lead you up to Karnagio beach, which is divided in two parts, by the river's delta. The left part is more bustling and has two beach bars, while the right one is more and has a tavern. Moving south, you will reach the beach of Akti Chatzivageli, which continues until Platanidia.

THE CULINARY CURIOSITY OF A HOTELIER

Stories and Cooking in Pelion

The book arose from suggestions from visitors (mostly from abroad), some who wanted to take away with them a useful record of recipes of local dishes they had sampled and loved, and others who required a collection of culinary memories to remind them of their holiday in Pelion. It is an introduction, an initiation into the local cuisine as we see it and prepare it. Since the day the Amanita guesthouse in Tsagarada first opened its doors, our efforts have centered on providing our guests with a memorable breakfast of local flavors in season at the time. In order to achieve that, we researched the gastronomic identity of the area. We read books and guides. We talked to middle-aged and elderly locals, copied down recipes, searched for sources of raw products. We ate in restaurants, taverns, houses, local celebrations, up in the mountain, by the sea, on the hood of the car, on the grass. We got quite a few answers, but more questions arose concerning the cuisine on this peninsula that spans 70 kilometers from north to south and 30 kilometers from east to west. The basic questions were: Is there a specific Pelion cuisine? Do the coastal villages of southern Pelion have the same cuisine as the mountain villages of eastern Pelion? Is there a "hard culinary core", with notably exclusive Pelion dishes which cannot be found in any other part of Greece? You can find the answers in the 34 stories and the 64 recipes of the book.

The mythic ship "Argo" with which Jason and all of his brave men travelled to «Colchis» to they bring the "golden fleece", was made from trees of Pelion, under the guidance of the goddess Athena... 35 centuries after the myth revived! The modern Argo was manufactured with the same specifications, tools and timber, observing all the rules of the ancient Greek shipbuilding that today make it a pole of international scientific and academic interest and thus it realized once again the mythic trip.

The historical Station, created by the Italian engineer Evaristo de Chirico, remains the same from 1884 until today, and is one of the few buildings that were saved after the strong earthquakes that hit Volos during the '50s. Its elegance, its neoclassical line and its pitched roof with the wooden decoration on the outline make the building an actual architectural jewel for the city. On the first floor of the building, the Railway Museum of Thessaly operates. You will see old photographs, telegraphs, station clocks, costumes of the era, ticket booths, machine accessories, archives, books on railway architecture, as well as the original designs of Evaristo de Chirico.

Volos has been an industrial city for a long period of time. Factories were to be found everywhere. Tobacco industries and warehouses, mills, ceramics industries, electrical power production factories… During the passage of time, they were abandoned, until the actions of the municipal authority revived them, changed their use, and turned them into universities, museums, schools…, providing the city with architectural jewels, the aesthetics of which makes quite an impression, a valuable heritage for the future of the city.

One of the achievements of the course of the city through time, was also the creation of two athletic associations, which were destined to be identified so much with daily routine and the existence of a significant group of people that they became a reference point for the decades to follow. Popular ‘Olympiakos’, the pampered child of the townsmen of Volos, and ‘Niki’, which emerged from the ashes of Asia Minor like a phoenix from its ashes. The love of their people is their motivating power in order to continue their course.

The almost insignificant altitude differences, town planning, the residential character, which is translated into small distances, but mainly the culture of the inhabitants of Volos, have transformed the city to a cycling city, enjoying complete freedom throughout the seafront, which crosses a large part of the city. In addition, cycling nights by the… "organized ones", who cross the entire city every Thursday, with music, communicating to the rest the obvious message, are not rare. Leave the car, get on the bicycle.

We would need a lot of pages in order to describe the "cultural activities" of the city. The municipal core is undoubtedly the Municipal Organization of Children Education, Sports and Culture - Municipal Regional Theatre of Volos, which, as implied by its name, spreads its "tentacles" in many sectors. Characteristically we only mention the Conservatoire, the School of Dramatic Arts, the Symphony Orchestra, the Young People's Orchestra etc. In them we can add the "Estoudiantina" Orchestra, the Theatrical Team of the University of Thessaly, the famous festivals, as the European Festival of Music etc. as well as the activities of many cultural associations and scientific institutions such as the Volos's Municipal Center for History and Documentation.

1922, and mainly by those who worked at the sea and the port. At noon, after work, they gathered at the coffee shops of the port and drank their "tsipouro", which they accompanied with "meze", always served in small plates. Today, everyone, without social distinctions, responds to the calling of "tsipouro with meze" - which has somewhat lost its accompanying element and in many events evolves to a regular lunch or dinner. Volos has more than 400 "tsipouradika" dispersed in every corner.

VIEW FROM UP HIGH A spectacle that will amaze you! At any time of day or night. From every "angle" that you may see it. Countless small diamonds, embroidered in a masterful way, embracing the sea and trying to climb the mountain. This is a unique experience that you should not miss. The best points are to be seen while climbing Pelion and from the hill of Goritsa over the church.

Goritsa hill. It is located at the eastern side of the city, and you can reach its top by car. Of course, it would be more ineterested to follow the path up to there in order to enjoy the wonderful view of the city, which unfolds gradually while you go uphill. Light a candle at the church of Zoodochos Pigi, and visit the archaeological site, right under it. A little further up from the church, the majestic view of the entire city spreading at your feet will compensate you!

You will also see the statue of Rigas Feraios and the Holocaust Monument to the memory of the Jews, victims of the Nazis and also the monument of Asa K. Jennings, the man who saved 300.000 Greeks of Turks in 1922.

DIMITRIADOS str. The oldest street of the city, at the heart of the commercial market. The little train of Pelion used to cross the street, and the lines were still obvious on it until recently. Today it constitutes one of the most significant highways of the city, with malls, services, public buildings, such as the Municipal Conservatory, the University Library, the Chamber of Magnesia, the State General Laboratory, the Post Office, the Library of the Three Hierarchs' Association etc. It is a one-way street, and leads towards the exit of the city, while along it you will find many cafes, particularly for take away.

His menu satisfies even the most demanding customers, from "kleftiko" lamb, pork and beef shank, fillets with plums and chestnuts (our favorite), stuffed cabbage leaves, shrimp spaghetti, as well as fresh fish. The setting is amazing, flooding warmth during the winter, while in the summer, tables are spread on the spacious pavement under the shadow of the trees, with a view to the archaeological site.

176 DISCOVER VOLOS PELION

The Asia Minor Catastrophe of 1922 brought thousands of refugees to Greece. Several of them came to Volos and settled in the "interior" of the city. The evolution of this settlement is today's Nea Ionia. Nowadays, Nea Ionia is a city on its own, having the Krafsindonas stream as a natural border with Volos, and it was an independent Municipality before its union with the Municipality of Volos. You can walk along the stream in the linear park, in order to see the building of Metaxourgeio (Silk Factory), which was reformed in 1924 and has been transformed in the Pre-War Silk Mill Museum, the Mourtzoukos building, with the characteristic sawtooth roof, an old Textile Factory, which was founded in 1908 and it now houses some schools. You will also see the temple of Evangelistria, the first church of the refugees, which was founded in 1923. The heart of "Synoikismos" (Settlement) was beating in the small streets around the church. Small houses, one stuck with the other, which were separated by side streets, in many of which you could barely fit to pass. Houses and hearts one near the other. This is the area where the National Resistance Museum is also located. A little higher you will find the Cultural Park, and a little lower, the Panthessalic Stadium, which was constructed for the Olympic Games of 2004. Smells from mothers' kitchens, flowered yards, housewives sitting on pavements and discussing, groups of friends drinking their tsipouro with or without anise. "Have a seat, so that we can buy you a twenty-five", someone will shout. Besides, this is where the "habit" that added another "plus" to Volos began.

The pizzeria of Volos, on the waterfront, is the extension of this know-how and tasting. The excellent quality of raw materials, the continuous renewal of the menu -which also includes other dishes besides pizza and pasta- and mainly the unbeatable prices, have established Casa di Pizza as a choice for its loyal customers.

District “Palaia” "Palaia" is built on the top of a hill that was first inhabited in the prehistoric era. In the medieval era a wall was built round the area and became a Castle that stayed up to the end of the Ottoman rule. Here it was the old city of Volos. We start from the Info Center where you can take information and moving on the Lachana street where we see parts of the Castle's Wall. We are already in the complex of "Tsalapata" a marvelous Museum of industrial history. In the same area there are entertainment shops. A little further there is the church of Agii Theodori, the first church that was built after the liberation of Volos in 1881, and right below, the Museum of the city of Volos. Getting to Labraki street you will see various ancient discoveries. Nearby is the square of "Syntrivani", and various entertainment shops. From Papadiamanti street we get to the railway station, a landmark building in the history of Volos, since 1884 with exceptional architecture which makes it one of the most picturesque buildings of the city. There operates a museum. At the entrance of the station you will see the statue of Athena, the oldest sculpture of Volos.
