South Pelion

South Pelion is situated approximately 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of Athens, the country's capital.

Of course, visiting just one place, regardless of its popularity, usually only offers you a narrow glimpse into the broader textures and qualities of a region. So try to allow a few days to discover Thessalia's other cities, attractions and landscapes. While here, consider a trip to the Volos Town Hall and Volos Municipal Theatre in Volos, about 17 miles (27 kilometers) to the southeast of South Pelion.

Around 13 miles (21 kilometers) to the southeast of South Pelion is Skiathos, a regional center where you can visit Little Banana Beach, Agia Eleni Beach and Mandraki Beach. Megali Ammos Beach, Kastro Beach and Lalaria Beach are other interesting attractions worth checking out for those who have time to spare.

Discover the region's rich cultural makeup within Thessalia's wonderfulaters, art museums and craft workshops. Whether you're believer or an atheist, visitors are sure to be moved at Thessalia's mosques and other places of worship.

The South Pelion area offers plenty of great ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Adrenaline junkies can enquire about one of the hiking and rock climbing tours on offer here. Enjoy a break from traveling and cool off with a spot of canoeing or kite surfing.

At the end of your vacation, say a fond Yiá sou (farewell) to the interesting characters you've met and the spots you've been.
