Pelion!

Legend has it that this mountain was the summer resort of the Gods of Olympus.

We see why as it’s so beautiful here. Our base is the village of Afissos–our hotel is on a hillside above the Pagasitikos Gulf. The Aegean Sea is just over the mountain.

This morning we visited the Saturday morning market in Argalasti. We bought a small wooden cutting board from a local craftsman with a happy smile.

Wishing we could bring home a boatload of local olive oil and honey.

The town square in Argalasti is a great place to relax.

Many roads in the Pelion region are narrow and curvy. I’m grateful for Larry’s nerves of steel–he’s doing an amazing job of driving!

We are excited to explore here–we’re enjoying the beautiful seascapes and lush flowers!
