I went to Pilion in March 2020. We hiked a group of 205 people from Xania to Makryrachi and Portaria village. We also visited the villag eof Makrinitsa. Amazing place with great architecture. The nature around the mountain is simply amazing. Highly recommended for hikers!

This time we didn't hike (its top was covered with snow at the beginning of May), we just admired its beauty and magnificence, driving by. I remember that last time we did hike on Mount Olympus we found a place with plenty of lillies-of-the-valley, which are my favorite flowers (it was late April). I recommend this hike, which may be for all levels of hiking, from easy to medium to difficult. One can stop anytime they want and go back (so did we, we didn't reach the top, because the weather was getting worse). We even met on our way young Greek couples with little children.

Situated in the central square of the village, it is one of most impressive churches I have visited. Its temple is dedicated to Pammegisti Archangels, while its style is three-aisled basilica. The frescoes are wonderful and also extraordinary (for instance you can see the zodiac circle) and have various styles. During its construction, special techniques had been used that strengthen the sounds, so the experience of attending the Mass or occasionally a concert of religious music is unique.
4. Palaiokarya’s Stone Bridge

This old stone bridge has the unique advantage of having two waterfalls, one before and one after the bridge. The location is easy to find, but it is much easier to have a car to drive there. It was not crowded when I got there, even though it was on a weekend. Nature around is beautiful. If you are into photography, the setting gives great opportunities for long exposures.

On the side of the Aegean Sea Mylopotamos Beach stands out as the most famous beach of eastern Pelion. A distinctive rock sits at the center of the beach and divides it into two sections. White sand, small pebbles, natural shade, blue-green waters... an excellent place to forget about the rest of the world... Crowded during summertime...

10. Archeo Theatro Larisas

Reviewed By PabloTheGreek - Larissa, Greece
We enjoyed an afternoon coffee with the view of this theatre at Venizelou pedestrian walkway looking at the theatre. It is located at the southern foothills of the hill "Fortress"(Frourio), where the ancient city's fortified Acropolis stood. Its really close at the market so you can come here right after your shopping. At night its beatifull if you like to chat with your pals sitting on the stone benches at the upper side of it.But if you want more crouded situations gazing and meet people,50 metres away,at the upper side of the hill are the ancient ruins square which is more crouded but only at summer days,as it is the coolest part of the city. Tip: dont miss the dinner at the locals taverns on the hill "Frourio".
