According to Greek mythology, Mt Pelion was the summer house of the Gods and the land of the Centaurs, mythical creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse (this is where the horse-riding tradition originates from and why many local families own horses).

The centaur Cheiron, the son of the titan Cronus and the nymph Philyra, was a peaceful, wise tutor and a mystic. He knew the secrets of nature and art, of medicine and herbs, of music, astrology, and soothsaying. He lived in a cave on Mt. Pelion and was the teacher-educator of numerous heroes, including Asclepius, Achilles, Jason, and Peleus. In the villages of Mt. Pelion there are still grandmothers who know ancient therapeutic techniques, remedies, herbal treatments, natural healing methods, and so much more.

The whole mountain of Pelion is lush, full of oak woods, plane trees, wild chestnuts, pines, and olive and apple orchards at its lower slopes. It is an ideal spot for hiking, cycling, skiing, mountain climbing, canyoning, speleology, horseback riding, canoeing & kayaking, diving, sailing, and herbalism-mycology; the alternative tourism possibilities are endless…
