• Meteora Monasteries, Lunch & Wine
  • The Metéora (which means “suspended rocks”) is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. A place of unique beauty one must visit.
  • Pelion, Makrinitsa
  • Close to Volos port, is the village of Pelion. In Greek mythology, Mount Pelion (which took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles) was the homeland of Chiron the Centaur, tutor of many ancient Greek heroes, such as Jason, Achilles, Theseus and Hercules.The mountains that surround it are entirely forested, with beech, oak, maple and chestnut trees. Pelion is a tourist attraction throughout the year: the mountain includes trails and sidewalks, giving access to numerous beaches (with sand or pebbles) of varying size. Modern Pelio’s twenty-four villages all retain traditional Pelian architecture and construction.
