The Rooms
ALOE is a 30 m2 open-plan studio, suitable for couples with one child. It is accessible for people with mobility impairments, as it has its own street-level entrance from the garden (however, the bathroom is not big enough for a wheel chair to turn around).

It is the most private room, overlooking the garden and the street. It is quiet – the only thing to be heard is the flowing stream in the summer. There’s a shared garden furnished with outdoor furniture and a common area covered by a pergola to provide shade in the summer.

The floor is paved with Mt. Pelion stone, the kitchen is fully furnished, there’s a TV set and strong free Wi-Fi signal. It has got a double bed (150x200cm) and a large sofa.


The Location
Pelion offers visitors its enchanting, mythical beauty, wonderful green landscapes, crystal clear fresh water springs, golden sandy beaches, clear unpolluted seas, magnificent mountain peaks, numerous picturesque villages built in the traditional Mt Pelion architectural style, cobblestone lanes, traditional manor houses and carefully managed traditional accommodation.

It is a year-round tourist destination that combines relaxation and adventures in nature. There is a dense network of footpaths for hiking (exceeding 200km) and small bays with small or long beaches, with sand or pebbles.

According to Greek mythology, Mt Pelion was the summer house of the Gods and the land of the Centaurs, mythical creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse (this is where the horse-riding tradition originates from and why many local families own horses).

The centaur Cheiron, the son of the titan Cronus and the nymph Philyra, was a peaceful, wise tutor and a mystic. He knew the secrets of nature and art, of medicine and herbs, of music, astrology, and soothsaying. He lived in a cave on Mt. Pelion and was the teacher-educator of numerous heroes, including Asclepius, Achilles, Jason, and Peleus. In the villages of Mt. Pelion there are still grandmothers who know ancient therapeutic techniques, remedies, herbal treatments, natural healing methods, and so much more.

The whole mountain of Pelion is lush, full of oak woods, plane trees, wild chestnuts, pines, and olive and apple orchards at its lower slopes. It is an ideal spot for hiking, cycling, skiing, mountain climbing, canyoning, speleology, horseback riding, canoeing & kayaking, diving, sailing, and herbalism-mycology; the alternative tourism possibilities are endless…
