Perfect Pelion
We were very glad to have found the Lemon House, small and quaint, with a lovely patio and beautiful view. Ana Gatzea is very quiet (just the usual crickets, church bells and local produce suppliers shouting their wares over a car microphone!). The directions were slightly daunting, especially since we left the airport in the dark. However we found it easily because Richard’s directions were very clear. Driving along a railway line at midnight was definitely a first for us, but we soon got used to it. Maria was very helpful. We loved the area, and stayed mostly on the Gulf side because the sea is so calm and warm. The eastern Aegean coast is spectacular and well worth a visit, the forested areas are wonderful and the mountain villages beautiful, Makrinitsa especially. Agia Kyriaki is a very picturesque fishing village down in the Trikeri area, and we had a lovely lunch there on the quayside. We enjoyed a trip on the quaint Pilio railway from Ana Gatzea and spent a few peaceful hours enjoying the view from from a roof top restaurant in Milies while waiting for the return journey. We thought the Pelion was one of the most delightful places we’ve been to in Greece and we hope to go again, a fortnight wasn’t enough.
