Pilion: 2 romantic apartments near the sea

"Pelion is a nice place for those who love the combination of mountain and see.

What is more, it is not very touristic place, especially in June, where you could be the one person in the beach and it is not very hot, there is some breeze and the water is enough warm for swimming....

The family of Madalena are very nice and friendly. I was nicely surpised one evening when her three children came upstairs with their violins and played and sang and it was fabulous under the stars, below the see, almost nobody around to listen to a Mozart piece..."

"Excellent accommodation, wide range of facilities, very clean, quiet area (apart from the occasional thunderstorm!), local restaurants within walking distance, access perhaps slightly awkward by car."

You will be well looked after in Madalena's well-equipped apartment. On the night I arrived one of their children were holidaying with them along with another couple and I was welcomed with a cool glass of wine and supper! Merci Madalena! Babiche and Madalena live below, you live above. The apartment is spacious and offers a balcony with stunning views. There is a fine beach 10min scooter ride away (at the far end of the delightful village Afissos. There is a small village 15min walk (Afetes) away with 2 good tavernas and a small market store. There are many tavernas to choose from within 30 min drive. The Pelion peninsular has fascinating geography and a distinct difference between east and west sides. There is a lot to explore and I could easily have stayed another month. Babiche took me to the gardens of the Archaeological Museum in Volos where he works as a language expert. On this summery evening there was a concert in the garden featuring noted singers and musicians. It was wonderful! A super display of the rich Greek culture. The museum is well worth visiting too and there are a number of archaeological sites in the Pelion to visit. Thank you Madalena and Babiche for a wonderful holiday - I look forward to returning!

Die Apartments von Madalena waren für uns ein günstiger Ausgangspunkt um die Region zu erkunden. Die Gastgeber geben jederzeit bereitwillig Auskunft über Aktivitäten, Tavernen, Strände.

Die Katzen und der kleine Hund sowie die gesamte Anlage war für unsere Kinder ein Highlight.

Mit meinen beiden Töchtern haben wir einen unvergesslichen Urlaub hier verbracht. Es gibt so viele wunderbare Strände und Ecken auf dem Pilion zu entdecken! Unsere Gastgeber waren phantastisch. Immer ein nettes Wort, einen guten Tipp - und oft sogar einen Teller mit Köstlichkeiten. Mit dem Auto ist alles prima zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung war für uns vollig ausreichend. Der Blick in den jeden Abend wechselnden Sonnenuntergang und den Sternenhimmel - großartig. Es waren Tage, von denen wir noch lange im dunklen Winter zehren werden. Danke!
