PELION
Κοινοποίηση

Agriturismo

The peninsula pokes out into the Aegean and then bends back towards the mainland about halfway between Athens and Thessaloniki. The city of Volos and its port sit at the top of this huge bay, Mount Pelion towering above them. And a ridge of hills runs down from the mountain to the southernmost tip, its slopes as thick with chestnut forests and olive groves as they are with myths. Jason and his Argonauts sailed from Pagasae near Volos in search of the golden eece.

Important notes

Agrotourism

Starting in the 1950s and continuing through the 1970s, traditional small-scale farming in Greece became less profitable and many farmers abandoned their farms to search for work in larger towns. However, Greek people place great value and worth in their agricultural traditions, especially in the small-scale production of foods like cheese, vegetables, and olive oil. By 1985 Greek lawmakers had created a legal definition for Agrotourism, which allowed, and in some cases provided funds for, the rehabilitation and restoration of many abandoned rural buildings and estates.
