Discover the green and mountainous peninsula of Pelion – one of Greece's most fascinating hiking destinations. Here you hike from village to village along old cobblestone paths, the so-called kalderimia, which wind through lush forests and further down towards the glittering coast where turquoise bays invite refreshing swims.
Pelion is also known as the land of the centaurs, where myths and history are woven together with nature. Here the god of medicine Asclepius is said to have received his knowledge of herbs from the centaur Cheiron – and even today the healing plants grow on the mountain. During the journey you pass flowing streams, apple orchards and silver-green olive groves. You stop in small mountain villages with views over the Aegean Sea, where time seems to move slower. Sit down in the square under shady plane trees and enjoy a cup of Greek coffee, the perfect break between your hikes.

Cold. Lucky that you could go with baggage transfer when there was a lot of snow and rain.
