Pelion, Thessaly, Greece:Mount Pelion is said to be the summer retreat of the Olympian gods. Today, the small rivers, cobblestone villages and olive groves that flow down to the sparkling bay still give visitors the feeling that Pelion is a mythical land. In addition, the ancient stone bridges and the 19th-century castles that have been converted into hotels also add to the fairytale and mysterious feel of the place. Photo:Telegraph. |
