Mt Pelion: The choice of gods and heroes

Living the good life at the Luxury G Pelion Beach Villas

At a stone’s throw from the city of Volos, halfway between Athens and Thessaloniki, mount Pelion is pure wonderland with all the holiday essentials: Astonishing beaches, peacock coloured waters, chestnut forests and olive groves, cascading rivers and gurgling springs. Romantic, cobbled villages, ancient hiking trails and antique monasteries dating back to the times of the Crusades. Ski slopes with a killer sea view, along with multiple other adrenaline release options for the sporty.

Rich in beauty as much as it is in myths, the legendary home of the centaurs is also the place that the 12 Olympians chose to idle away their summers.

And if it’s good enough for gods and heroes, why don’t you follow their lead?

Take your family -and/or friends- on a trip of a lifetime to Pelion and in the process create some memories you’ll cherish forever!
