What you can expect

Embark on a relaxed tour from Volos Port into the heart of Mount Pelion, discovering some of the region’s most authentic and well-preserved traditional villages. This experience combines mountain scenery, architectural heritage, and local traditions at an unhurried pace.

Your journey begins in Pinakates, a quiet mountain village known for its unspoiled character and traditional stone architecture. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through narrow cobblestone streets, admire historic houses that have remained largely unchanged for generations, and take in views of the surrounding Pelion landscape in a peaceful, uncrowded setting.

Continue to the nearby village of Vizitsa, renowned for its elegant archontika (traditional mansions) and harmonious architectural style. Walk through its picturesque lanes and appreciate the carefully preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings set amid lush greenery. During your visit, enjoy a tasting of local honey and traditional Pelion products, offering an authentic introduction to the region’s culinary heritage.

The tour continues to Milies, one of Pelion’s most historic villages, surrounded by chestnut and olive trees. Learn about its cultural significance while exploring the village center and enjoying free time to wander at your own pace. You may visit the charming station of the historic Pelion Steam Train, or relax at a local café or taverna in the shaded main square.

After a scenic drive, the experience concludes in Kala Nera, a seaside village on the shores of the Pagasetic Gulf. Enjoy free time along the waterfront promenade or a coffee by the sea before returning comfortably to Volos Port.

This experience is available either as a shared small-group tour or as a private tour, depending on guests’ preferences.
