Pelion is one of the most beautiful areas in mainland Greece with its own micro-climate, and acres of unspoilt beaches, olive groves, forests and mountain walks. This is one of the last truly unspoilt parts of Greece, still off the beaten track as far as European tourists are concerned, but a popular destination for Greeks seeking peace and tranquillity.
Pelion is popular all the year round, with skiing on Mount Pelion in the winter - not Alpine standard but with 4 runs and a ski-lift - all within 1 hours drive from the villa.
For winter lets, the air-conditioning units double as powerful heaters. In addition there is a large open fireplace in the main living room, and plentiful supply of logs from the trees in the grounds of the villa.
In the Spring and Autumn Pelion is a popular destination for walkers, with a number of public footpaths running through the foothills and round the coastline. The villa provides direct access to a coastal footpath which provides a stunning setting for walks to Kalamos, Afissos and beyond.
In Lefokastro there is a taverna open throughout the winter within walking distance from the house, and a 10-minute drive will take you to Argalasti, the main town in souther Pelion, with a 24-hour medical centre, supermarkets, pharmacy, tavernas, cafes, cash machines and everything else you could need, all year round.
For sailors, the Pagasitic gulf offers perfect sheltered anchorage for yachts, and a base to explore Pelion and the neighbouring islands, Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonyssos. Yachts can be chartered in Volos, and smaller boats (sailing or motor) can be hired nearby.
