Kalambaka, famed for its Byzantine churches, is built where the river Pinios leaves the Pindus mountains, at the foothills of Meteora. Nearby the Pagasitic gulf embraces Pelion, the mythological land of the Centaurs: imposing and verdant, rough and scenic, wild and accessible. With beach covered peaks, streams running down the slopes, villages rooted among the chestnut and olive trees, Pelion is a wonder.
Markinitsa, Portaria, Milies, Vizitsa, Tsagarada, Zagora: magnificent large old stone houses with wall decorations and slate roofs. Beautiful resorts dot the seaside.
