5Pelion, Thessaly
Pelion offers something that few destinations in Greece can provide so easily: mountains and beautiful beaches during the same holiday.
The mountain is covered with forests and traditional villages including Tsagarada, Portaria, Makrinitsa and Zagora.
Visitors can spend the morning swimming at one of Pelion’s impressive beaches and later return to a cooler mountain village for dinner.
The combination of forest, altitude and sea makes Pelion particularly attractive during the hottest months of the year.
Best for: Travelers who want both beaches and cooler mountain evenings.
