Pelion hotel - A base to explore the beautiful area

It is only in the last few years that Pelion is developing as a summer tourism destination and it becomes known worldwide for its green nature, the abrupt mountainsides and the wonderful beaches that can be found along the coastline. For tourists who need to relax and live in the nature for a while, Pelion is the ideal place in Greece to combine both mountain and sea vacations.

Some might say that going there from Athens is quite tiring, especially if you don't have a car, as depending on the village you are staying, it could need about 6 to 7 hours of traveling. However, one thing is for sure: once you settle in your Pelion hotel, you will not want to leave. You will be so amazed by the beauty of the area and the uniqueness of the Pelion hotel that you will probably forget all about your tiredness and get out to explore the area.

If you have a car, then things will be much easier for you. As your Pelion hotel will probably have a parking area or a small yard to leave your car in safety, you can travel in comfort around Pelion and get to know its traditional villages perched on the slopes of mountainsides, the lush forests that are crossed by small rivers, the beautiful beaches with the long sand and the crystal water, the lovely taverns with the delicious local recipes and the warm, welcoming people.

If you need a map or any instructions for your way, definitely ask at the Pelion hotel for further information or suggestions where to go in the area. Locals surely know better than any travel guide and the staff of your Pelion hotel will have no problem to help you. On the contrary, they will be very happy to introduce their area to a foreigner and make more people to love Pelion.

Probably the most important criteria to choose your Pelion hotel would be the balcony view: there is nothing better in your vacations than to wake up in the morning and look at the beautiful view to the sea or the green mountains from the balcony of your Pelion hotel or to have breakfast at the beautiful, flowered yard of your Pelion hotel, before you start your relaxing, yet full of activities day out.

Not only that but after a full day out, you can get back at your Pelion hotel and relax watching the sunset or having a light meal. Have a nice chat with the owners of the Pelion hotel and learn about their life, the region or their traditions. It is always interesting to learn about different ways of life and discussions will be easy. Even the staff of the Pelion hotel will not probably speak fluent English or any other language than Greek, communication will not be a problem and will end up very pleasant, too. The Greeks can be very talkative and a chat with foreigners will always be interesting for them.
