Experience overview

Discover the magic of Pelion on a scenic small-group guided tour from Volos Port, where the splendor of nature merges perfectly with rich local traditions. Experience picturesque Portaria, the quaint village perched on the foothills of Mount Pelion, where the cobbled lanes and restored mansions exude an unmissable charm. Enjoy the murmur of running water that accompanies your journey through the village, serenading your way from the historic Town Hall to the vibrant main square. In spring, this square becomes a hub of activity, its restaurants filling up as people gather to savor the mesmerizing views and welcoming ambience. As a unique treat, indulge in a fascinating wine tasting journey that appeals to both connoisseurs and novices alike. Nestled in a traditional cellar, let each sip of the locally produced wines take you on a tour, from the lofty foothills of Mount Olympus to the sun-drenched slopes of Mount Pelion. Delight in the nuanced flavors of Rapsani, Tyrnavos, Mesenikola, and Pelion wines, perfectly paired with a tempting selection of local cheese. The next leg of your adventure takes you to Makrinitsa, fondly called the 'Balcony of Pelion'. This quaint village boasts unrivaled panoramic views over Volos and the serene Pagasetic Gulf. With its narrow cobblestone streets and preserved traditional architecture, it's a sightseer's paradise, offering an array of local shops with their handmade crafts and delicacies. This delightful, action-packed tour culminates with a comfortable coach ride back to Volos Port, leaving you satiated with the wonders of Pelion. From the enchanting Portaria to the stunning views of Makrinitsa and delightful wine tasting experience, this unforgettable journey promises to be the highlight of your visit to Greece.
