Neighbourhood

Pelion is considered the secret hideaway of the Greeks. It does not feel touristy, but you can still find all of the amenities you would want. Many of the small beaches are deserted and you will have them all to yourself! To reach our villa, you must travel for about two miles or 3.5 km on a dirt road. There are only a few other houses on the entire road, and none that you can see from the house.

Every corner of Greece is filled with amazing cultural and historical significance. Pelion is no different. Known as the land of the Centaurs and renowned for Jason and the Argonauts, Pelion played an integral part of Greek Mythology. A mere 15 minutes away you can experience the beauty and serenity of a restored 12th century monastery called Moni Paou. In the city of Volos you can visit two different archaeological digs or browse the Museum of Volos featuring many antiquities from the area. An easy day trip and one not to miss are the famous hanging Monasteries of Meteora. You will be astounded at the ingenuity of the ancient Greek monks!

Getting around

Most people will fly into Thessaloniki (SKG) which is the closest airport and rent a car from there.  Thessaloniki is about 3.5 hour drive, Athens is approximately 5 hour drive. 

If you visit during the wet season (approx. Oct-Jan) you should consider renting a 4x4 as the house is located on a dirt road.

Member description

As empty nesters with the luxury of working anyplace with an internet connection, we are ready to explore all corners of this beautiful planet!  The ideal exchange will probably be about two to three weeks, but everything is negotiable.  Most of the time it will only be two of us traveling, but if we get lucky our two grown sons might join us, or maybe even our parents or siblings. For us the ideal exchange would be to spend time in an apartment in a city center where we can walk everywhere, visit interesting restaurants and museums and maybe even take in a theater or musical performance. We do love off-the-beaten-path type of places, but since that's what our villa is like, we tend to prefer the opposite for an exchange.

We prefer second home, non-simultaneous exchanges.  You are more than welcome to spend the hot summer during school holidays enjoying the sea and sand in Greece, however we generally will want to come to your place sometime in the spring or fall. We cannot travel in July or August, so please do not send requests for simultaneous exchanges at that time. We do not rent our villa, so if we are not there, it is available to our exchangers. We will have our house professionally cleaned before your arrival and would like to exchange with others who do the same.

We love UNESCO World Heritage sites and cities and hope to experience many of them!
