Greece

Okay, it's something to do with trying to rediscover the unspoilt Greece of the 60s and 70s that draws me to the Pelion. Strict building regulations have helped to save this part of Greece from overdevelopment so you can still find that perfect beach or sit in the square of a hilltop village under a large plane tree and only have to share the experience with local Greeks and aficionados of the area. With an outer Aegean coastline of spectacular sandy beaches and the calmer clear waters of the Pelion's inner curve, this is the perfect place to relax.

Metochi

This renovated stone house is in Metochi, a charming village in the Pelion, possibly the most beautiful area in Greece, with its green chestnut forests, wonderful beaches and small mountain and sleepy beachside villages.

Diplomats

For many years we have used tour operators to send couples and families to this well run and attractive complex of comfortable rooms and apartments overlooking the sea just 15 minutes walk from the village of Horto and we were delighted when Maria, the friendly and helpful manager, asked us to work with the hotel directly.

Pounda Paou

A fabulous retreat for relaxation in idyllic and unique surroundings in the Pelion region of the Greek mainland.

Irene Villa

Irene Villa is a recently built, very comfortable, four bedroom villa with wonderful views over the Pagasitic Gulf near the pretty village of Horto in the Pelion.

Cycle Coast to Coast

We are delighted to have joined up with a specialist cycling company, Bike Greece, so that we can arrange mountain bike holidays for all abilities on the Greek mainland and the island of Evia, coast to coast. Why not reward yourself for a week of keeping fit with a week of recuperation at our country house Metochi in the Pelion?

Cycle Nemea to Olympia

If it's country road rather than mountain biking that appeals, our new Ancient Olympia and Nemea wine route is for you! Terrain is non technical and is on road.The rugged interior of the Peloponnese is mountainous and those attempting this east to west crossing of southern Greece should expect some stiff climbs, but will be rewarded with spectacular descents.
