There are many wonderful sights and places to see in Pelion and around this unique region. Below is just a small selection of some of the places of interest that we believe are well worth a visit.
Zagora Village
The old school of "Rigas" (1777), or the "Greek Museum" as it later became known. This is the oldest school in Pelion, and many famous Greeks studied here. Former students included Rigas Ferreos (leader of the revolution against the Turks), Anthimos Gazis, Grigoris Konstantas and Kallinikos Lapatis (Patriarch of Konstatinopole). Also in Zagora is the famous library of the village, which is home to around 15,000 old books and manuscripts.
Lehonia Village
The "Kontos" mansion in the village of Lehonia Ano is well worth a visit. This mansion is very well known, due to the rumours that it is haunted. There are also other mansions in Lehonia Ano worth visiting such as the neoclassical buildings of "Katsropoulos" and "Hatzikiriazi". The village is also where you will find the station for the departure of the Pelion steam train "Moutzouri-Smudgy".
Makrinitsa Village
The "Topali" mansion, which was built in 1844 is also a nice place to visit. Here you will find the museum for music and art folklore. There is a very impressive collection of household objects, books, clothing, tools, flags and guns here. The museum is open daily from 10.00 until 17.00.
