Overview
Begin your journey in Makrinitsa, one of Pelion’s most iconic villages. Nicknamed “The Balcony of Pelion”, it offers panoramic views over the city of Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf. Wander through its narrow cobbled streets, admire well-preserved stone mansions, and browse local shops offering handmade crafts and traditional delicacies.
Continue to the nearby village of Portaria, where you’ll visit a traditional wine cellar for a guided wine tasting. Sample a curated selection of wines from across the region, including varietals from Rapsani, Tyrnavos, Mesenikola, and Pelion, perfectly paired with local cheeses. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious beginner, this experience offers a delicious introduction to Greek winemaking culture.
