Overview

Your tour starts with a visit to Makrinitsa Village, known as the “Balcony of Pelion” for its sweeping views over Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf. Stroll through its narrow, cobbled streets lined with traditional mansions, enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere, and explore local shops offering handmade crafts and regional products. Visit the Byzantine Museum, housed in a beautifully restored mansion. The collection includes icons, manuscripts, and artefacts that reflect Pelion’s religious and artistic heritage.
Continue to Portaria, one of Pelion’s most picturesque and lively mountain villages. Shaded by plane trees and filled with stone fountains, neoclassical houses, and charming alleyways, Portaria captures the authentic spirit of Pelion. Here you’ll enjoy a relaxed wine-tasting experience at a local venue, sampling regional wines paired with light bites before returning to the port. A perfect blend of culture, scenery, and local flavours awaits you throughout the day.
