About the location

Pelion is where the Greek Gods went on holiday from nearby Olympus (their main residence). The Queen of Pelion (already a feminist society here in ancient times) had an army of male Centaurs (horses with human torso) to protect her. Jason and the Argonauts set off from here with Argo (an exact replica is moored in Volos port) to search for the Golden Fleece.

Aghios Georghios Nileias is a very popular selective amphitheatrical village which retains its original character and architecture and a new road has been built from Lehonia down below by the sea (near Agria which is near Volos and which later is 1/2 hr drive). Our house is the one but last in the centre of the amphiotheatre below the church and althgough you can drive right up to it the central square is 4 min walk. So one is in the centre of the village but in complete quiet and natural setting/view.

Beautiful villages follow: Pinakates, Vyzitsa, Milies, Lafkos, Milina with swimming at both the Aegean (west) and Pagasitikos Bay 15 min drive below from another direct route from the house via beautiful ano (and Kato( Gatzea villages.
