Pelion, Mountain in Magnesia, Greece
Mount Pelion rises to 1543 meters between the Pagasetic Gulf and Aegean Sea, with dense forests of beech, oak, maple, and chestnut trees covering its slopes.
The mountain provided timber for constructing the ship Argo, which carried Jason and the Argonauts during their quest for the Golden Fleece.
Twenty-four traditional villages dot the mountainside, featuring stone houses built with local slate, red clay, and dark-stained chestnut timber across three distinct levels.
The Pelion railway departs from Ano Lehonia station at 10:00 AM, traveling through mountain landscapes to Milies with tickets costing 18 euros for adults.
The village of Tsangarada contains a millennium-old platanos tree, while numerous springs and stone-carved stream beds supply water to local communities.
