Summer
is paradise come to Pelion. Nature is at its best: lush vegetation,
pretty flowers and blossoms, all sorts of fruit ripening on the
tress, bees flitting from aromatic herbs to blooming honeysuckle,
nightingales serenading the huge full moon. The mountain and the
sea vie for the visitors' favour, though the competition does not
have to be resolved by Prince Paris' arbitration since they both
have their devoted fans and at the same time share a great number
of them who relish both a walk and a daily swim at one of the beautiful
beaches.
For those who seek organized sightseeing there is a variety of programmes
through which they may join a day cruise in the Pagasitikos Gulf,
go on an excursion around the Pelion villages or further afield
to the spectacular monasteries of Meteora. They can also attend
various cultural events such as folk dances, musical events and
local festivals.
In the evening one can enjoy oneself at
tavernas and cafeterias, have a stroll on the promenade or just
sit at the balcony, veranda or garden of his accommodation sipping
a drink and feeling the night while his senses feast in the music
of gardenias and evening primrose. Indeed there is no shortage of
activities in Pelion in the summer.
