Visiting Volos and Mount Pelion in the same day you can have a glimpse into the myths, tradition, gastronomy and grace of the area. We will drive appr. 6 miles over 4hours with stops for a visit to the archaeological museum (optional), photos, shops and coffee break. Did you know that the Greek hero Jason was born in ancient Volos? The Expedition of Argonauts was started from here! Did you know that Centaurs lived in Mount Pelion or that the 12 Olympians used to move there to spend their summertime? Why the traditional houses of Makrinitsa still have bars in the outer side? Where is the Balcony of Pelion according to the Greek statesman Eleftherios Venizelos? Ι' ll answer these and more questions during this tour. This tour is one of my favorite because combines two loves of mine, Archaeology & Tradition. You will hear Greek myths and legends. Admire the contrast between traditional and modern architecture. We' ll walk in cobbled streets, drink fresh water from the drinking fountains and smell the nature.
This tour is a 4 hours tour and the earliest it starts the better will be for us. We will visit: The Archaeological Museum of Volos where we will stay for approximately 1hour (optional). Then we will drive to Mount of Pelion for 30-40 minutes (a road with turns). Makrinitsa village will be our first stop for a walking tour and coffee or lunch time. Portaria & Makrinitsa Villages Traditional buildings and churches of the village Centaur's Path Optional, Traditional restaurant: taste the local drink "Tsipouro" served with small dishes with fresh salad, fish and seafood. This tour would be private so we'll plan our day together. Please remember if you want to avoid the groups from a cruise ship for example, we can reverse the stops. I always recommend to have our coffee break in Makrinitsa enjoying the view and the shade of trees. Please note: 1. The Archaeological Museum is closed on Tuesdays 2. During winter the Makrinitsa village may not be accessible because of the weather (fog or snow)
