Long Pelion trail! It’s time to share these beauties of Pelion with you.
The Long Pelion Trail is an inspiration and idea of Nikolaos Maggitsis. It gained its identity and character over the last 2 years, and this year it’s time for you to discover it too.
8 days of hiking on beautiful trails amidst the green of Pelion, between two seas. While enjoying the beauty this place offers, we meet people with shared passions and lovely habits on unique cobblestone paths and rural roads covered by towering beech trees.
The terrain and landscape of the route are characterized by a journey from sea to peaks and back to the sea, traversing lush areas with beech trees and densely vegetated ravines. In the southern part, the low vegetation adds a unique beauty, allowing you to walk most of the route in the shade.
The mountain offers opportunities to maintain safe distances during the hike, making it possible to organize even during the difficult period we are currently experiencing.
