1. Pelion Hidden Paths Hiking Tour

The Pelion Hidden Paths Hiking Tour is often a really fantastic way to get yourself familiar with Pelion’s breathtaking scenery, that has tons of small villages and also just acres of olive groves, and basically old trails. So, I learned that tour guides generally craft some interesting routes that just hit those picturesque, kinda out-of-the-way locations where actually only locals are to be found. Your steps on that trail won’t be on hard asphalt, it’s this walking back into time on historic stone pathways. I’m told that one of the real pluses here is the guide, they do speak this perfect english and just also has an encyclopedia of information about every local place you step by. Plus, you are supporting a local person who deeply cares for the area! So, it often makes it just so much richer of an experience than actually wandering alone. And really what can beat lunch at a quaint family-run taverna after your hike?

What do you get when you decide to go?:

• Walk hidden paths near old villages in the region
• Local stories shared with your guide in english
