Makrinitsa: the most beautiful "balcony" of Pelion

Built on the western slopes of Pelion, north of Volos, it is one of the most touristic and historical mountain villages in Greece and is famous for its traditional "color" that has been preserved unchanged over time, its special Pelion architecture and for the exceptional view that has. For this reason, Makrinitsa is also called the "balcony of Pelion".

Having traveled only 17 km from Volos, you will have the opportunity to take a pleasant walk through the pedestrian streets with the beautiful mansions and stone-built houses and sit in the traditional, cobbled, central square of the village to admire the panoramic view of Volos. There you will see the elaborate fountain of the Immortal Water and the stone-built church of Ai-Yiannis the Forerunner, while you can try the delicious Pelionian flavors in the surrounding taverns and drink your coffee in one of the traditional cafes.
