Meeting at our offices at Filellinon 3 in Syntagma and departure at 7:00, with intermediate stops, to Pelion. For our first stop we visit the Monastery of Panagia Xenia. This Byzantine Monastery was founded at the end of the 10th century. We journey up to the beautiful mountain of the Centaurs to visit PORTARIA, an authentic Pelioreite settlement, with an unsurpassed view, cobblestone streets, traditional stone houses, great mansions, stone fountains, churches and monuments as well as picturesque plazas. We can shop for the famous spoon desserts, for which the area is famous, as well as aromatic herbs, honey, jams and tsipouro and enjoy our coffee.
Our next stop is MAKRYNITSA, perched on the steep mountainside. It has been designated a preserved traditional settlement since 1980. When Eleftherios Venizelos visited it, he had it dubbed the "Balcony of the Aegean" for the exceptional view it offers of the Pagasitiko gulf.
We will enjoy the architectural style of the village, the well-preserved mansions, the picturesque and masterful cobblestone streets, the approximately 60 traditional fountains and the green landscape with plane trees, beeches, chestnut and walnut trees.
