WINTER TIME IN PELION

During the winter months, the appearance of Mount Pelion can be transformed within hours of snow fall. Trees, houses, and entire villages are covered with a blanket of pure white powered snow.

Pelion is beautiful place to visit and admire any time of the year, but during the winter months when the snow fall, it becomes even more beautiful. A winter scene in Pelion would not look out of place on a Christmas card.

Winter in Pelion is very cold, and the snow fall can reach several meters in height in some places, especially the more mountainous and higher places in the area. The village of Hania for example can find itself buried under 2 or more meters of snow during a very harsh winter.

During the cold winter months, you will see endless smoke coming from the chimneys of houses, as people have their fire lit all day long to wam up. There are many bars, cafes and tavernas where you can go to eat or drink, and in which you will see their fireplaces roaring with heat.

Winter time in Pelion is beautiful, and it is very enjoyable to take a walk around the area, providing you wrap yourselves up first.

There are photo opportunities nearly everywhere you look, and you can also find yourself a quiet spot to either build a snowman, or if with children, take part in a snowball fight.
