And in the midst of it all, the human element, centuries of Greek civilization in harmony with the environment: there are rustic villages, ancient ruins – always occupying the most dynamic location in the area, hot springs, isolated monasteries and chapels, castles, towers and abandoned hamlets, cheery mountain towns, and ski centers with beautiful chalets.

From traditional Pelion to the Zagorohoria, the valley of Tempi, celestial Olympus, Meteora with its awe-inspiring monasteries perched on pinnacles, to Ancient Dion, these are unique destinations of rare natural beauty with a rich history and traditions.
