5Pelion Traditional Mansions
Pelion, Greece
Pelion’s historic mansions combine mountain architecture with refined elegance. Built by wealthy merchants, they often feature stone ground floors, colorful upper levels, wooden balconies, slate roofs, and beautiful views over forests, mountains, or the Aegean Sea.
Pelion is especially magical in winter, when its higher villages and mountain roads often get covered in snow. During summer, it offers a refreshing escape from the heat, as many villages sit at a high altitude and stay pleasantly cool even when coastal Greece feels very hot.
Worth visiting nearby: Makrinitsa, Tsagarada, Mylopotamos Beach, Damouchari, Portaria, Chania village, and the Pelion mountain railway.
