A tiny, cozy ensemble of cottages carved in stone some 5 centuries ago; simply one of the most fascinating villages in Pelion. However, be ready to drive on roads that will probably make you feel as safe as 5 centuries ago (virtually no guardrails whatsoever; after a couple of days you will get used to cars parked in the middle of the road, behind a curve, on a 3-meter-wide path...)
PInakates is one of the numerous small picturesque villages built on the sides of Pelion mountain. Lots of natural springs flowing all over the place, offering fresh cool water to locals and travelers. Beautiful, fairy location, but with awful roads. The center of the village, which is the 'plateia' with huge old plane trees as in every village, is located below the main road, so the visitors must park the car and go down the stairs to find it. There are places for dinner and coffee. Staying at Pinakates is lovely and tranquil, but staying only there for too long might be boring... not much to do. However, it may serve as base to explore the rest of the villages on Pelion mountain, just to name a couple Tsagkarada and Makrynitsa, who are also very beautiful.
Interesting city port with excellent choice sea / mountain. The village Makrinitsa on the Pelion mountain is a must visit for the village architecture and for a great panoramic view of Volos.
We are the couple of mid age, so Pelion and kalamos with this beautifull hotel right on the beach was perfect place for us as we expected. No crowed, long beautifful beaches, warm sea, swimming even when the rain, travelling throw the beautifull, historical villages, eating in traditional tavernas. What else to say? WE WILL SURE COME TO KALAMOS AGAIN!
Dimini is well worth a visit and the museum in Volos is excellent with some very good exhibits from the Neolithic and Mycenaean sites there. The waterfront is great for walking with lots of lively cafes and bars. There are local buses into the Pelion peninsula and the tourist info centre is conveniently opposite the KTEL terminal and next to the local bus station with very helpful staff. There is also a working train station which has a realy pretty building with trains to Athens and Thessaloniki although you have to visit it to check the daily train times on the chalk boards
Volos is really a nice town, but not yet a touristic town; I think locals like Volos so as it is, and there are many young students; many nice shops; nice shopping atmoshere; Volos has a port with fresh fish, and very good restaurants, I like the culinary flavors and the excellent cuisine of Volos and Pelion; People are very friendly; I had favourite restaurants Iolkos on the digue, near the Argo ship; and one on the beach, the last beach , EEOxikonKentpon Aypa; locals prefer this restaurants too. There was also a Beach Club to drink somethings, it was very pleasant, modern, nice music, very friendly : Isalos Beach Club, to recommend; Nice to rent a private Taxi (who has a certificate of Excellence of Tripadvisor,) in Volos and visit the Pelion village Makrinitsa., very nice excursion with a fascinating view to Volos.
Fantastic views and clean mountain air (here in May) Take a sweatshirt for evenings - can get cool. Allow plenty of travelling time as roads are VERY winding but wonderful views at every turn. English is widely spoken in the Pelion, take cash as some shops don't take cards. Also the road tolls were cash only
Zagora was a cute little village to start our trip through the Pelion Villages. The road to get to Zagora is certainly full of twists and turns. The streets are narrow so walking would be advisable in town. We had the best service at one of the few restaurants open during off season.
Pelion is a great place that combines both great beaches and mountains for hiking and skiing. Portaria is ideally situated with shops and cafes and some restaurants and close driving distance for sightseeing the different little villages in the area.
Portaria is close to Volos eg reached the hospital for our child s care on Sunday at no time. It is also at a good location to start for visiting other beautiful destinations in Pelion.
I would start by saying a big Thanks to everyone for making our vacation a really unforgettable one! You can experience very rarely such extreme hospitality, kindness, generosity and willingness to help! The hosts are so wonderful that the words are not enough to describe it! They made us feel at home! The hotel has a great location with breathtaking view! The breakfast was very delicious and all dishes were homemade! The region of Pelion is amazing, a unique combination of sea and mountain! We would certainly come back again!
Staying at the Olga was a real treat. It is in a beautiful location and the owners couldn't have been nicer. They offered lots of information on the best drives, walks (strenuous) and tavernas in the area. The breakfasts were absolutely divine (and enormous!). Couldn't rate it highly enough - would return without any hesitation. The Pelion peninsula is absolutely beautiful. My only recommendation is that if you are not happy driving on hairpin bends this may not be the place for you! We loved it.
The staff was pleasant and friendly and ready to provide you all the neccessary information. Sparkly clean room with a lot of amenities like s kitchen with all the basic staff you need to prepare a good meal, ac, and TV . The location is exactly on the middle of the village , 50 meters from the beach and near the supermarket and other important shops . Pelion is amazing and this is a great hotel to stay and discover it . Can't wait to visit again .
Owners of this family hotel are very nice and their hospitality is perfect. They were taking a good care of everything! Everything is perfectly clean, even towels are being changed on daily basis. Breakfast is always fresh, with fruits from hotel's garden. Still, make sure to come with a car, so you can visit different beaches during your stay. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Pelion!
We spent 2 nights in Makrinitsa during our holiday on Pelion and we were very satisfied in this wonderful house. The room was very clear and nice and the view is incredible. Our hosts were very friendly and their warm reception made us feel like we were at home. Breakfast was delicious and even adapted to every kind of eating. We are looking forward to coming here again.
The hotel is conveniently located, very close to the sea, within a walking distance from the port and city beach, on the route to the mountain villages of Pelion. The best thing is the breakfast buffet, rich and tasty. Rooftop bar is also worth mentioning. Thirty years ago it was definitely a 4 star hotel.
we stayed for two nights. location is great with wonderful view from the bedroom. within walking distance, or a very short drive, from the two villages. a family type hotel with pleasant, helpful and informative staff. rooms are basic but clean and tidy. RECOMENDED for your travel at the Pelion region
We announced that we arrived after 23.30 and the receptionist said he was waiting for us still 00.00.There were no problems. Very clean and amazing view from the room and the breakfast area. Simple, tasty and homemade breakfast. The location is great for excursions in volos and pelion area.
Everything. Family running the hotel extremely cordial and friendly, provided guidance, supplied excellent breakfast with homemade pastries and jam, and with a big smile. Very recommended for the location, atmosphere, and as a base for touring Pelion.
