Autumn in Pelion

A great interactive painting where the scenery alternates in various colours from the dark green to cinnabar ones that end up to yellows. The deciduous trees stand bear as the last summer breeze gets stronger. Keen walkers will live up the autumn period as the summer gets away and the temperatures are getting milder. Some others still prefer alternating fr walking with swimming as another recreational past time for the body and the mind. For those who still love swimming in wintertime, the sea is ideal till the end of December. The bold ones try it out even in January...

Springtime in Pelion 

This  Spring has found us all unprepared or uninterested-

as it is getting closer and closer,

reluctantly step by step it comes bewildered, 

standing quietly under its few tress

Spring does not ever ask. Yiannis Ristos

 

Springtime on Mountain Pelion appears spontaneously.

The lush leafy forest blossoms every single moment till it reaches a climax of a colourway.

An interactive painting that interacts with the Aegean blue sea and the mighty Mountainous.

The villager's yards are ablaze with vivid colours of gardenias, camellias and hydrangeas.

As the peak season sets off the entrepreneurs are here to host you and welcome you heartily.

 For the keen walkers, April time to October time appears to be just the perfect period for tourists or wanders who will explore every secret corner on Mt Pelion and walk on every single kalderimi. The famous Kalderimia or just Kalderimi refers to a network of stone-paved paths. The weather is mild and thus it is ideal for every long or short walking route that can really recreate your body, your mind and your soul.

Swallows are the first visitors to welcome Spring and find Mt Pelion at its best as the greenery scene has fully blossomed up and the blue sea lies calm and warm. The gardens are offering colourful plants fully aromatic so as the little bees can rest and play around. The apple, pear and the cherry trees have blossomed up so as the birds and the bugs can wander around them playing and enjoying one of the most rejuvenating seasons of the year.
