Villas in Pelion
The beautiful peninsula Pelion is actually one big mountain, where the small picturesque villages are scattered on green hillsides. The Peninsula, located between the Pagasitikos Golf and Aegean Sea, is in summer a beloved holiday destination especially because of the beautiful beaches. In winter, however, it is the ski resorts in the mountains that attract guests. The unusually lush area is almost paradise with a wealth of apple trees, oak, beech, gardenier, hydrangeas, camellias and, not least, the view of the turquoise sea. The largest city in the area is the lively port city of Volos, where there are a wealth of shops, restaurants and sidewalks. NOVASOL's holiday homes on Pelion are primarily located in the charming town of Portaria and the small fishing village of Afissos. Here you are not busy, on the other hand, you expect a number of authentic experiences when you meet a donkey caravan on the white cobblestone, wander in the beautiful scenery or enjoy a glass of white wine under the platinum trees on the square. Pelion is a great place if you would like to vacation in mainland Greece.
Popular beaches in Pelion
The best beaches are on the north and east coast of Pelion, but there are beaches all along the coast.
Agios Ioannis: Perhaps the most popular beach on Pelion. Surrounded by cliffs with fine white sand and crystal clear waters, this beach is extremely beautifully situated. You can snorkel in the clear waters and study the underwater life by the small cliffs that rise up the sandy bottom.
Mylopotamos: Beautiful beach with white ral and very clear water. Here you can find shade under the pine trees or enjoy a cold drink at one of the small taverns or beach bars. The beach is divided into 2 by a rock where a small trail can lead you from one part to another.
Papa Nero: White sand and turquoise water await you on this beautiful beach, which in summer is very popular. It is here that you can consider bathing lifeguards and beach lovers, who smell the latest bathing suit.
