Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Peleus SeaThe picturesque village of Kato Gatzea in Pelion, Magnesia, is a quiet and safe Greek country community by the sea, only 17km from the city of Volos. The village is small and features a fishing port, and strips of coarse sand and pebbles. There are a few cafes around the port, as well as a bakery and mini market, ideal for any last-minute bits of shopping you might need. The Magnesia region is an area rich in history, mythology and cultural traditions, the capital Volos is one of the largest and most attractive cities in Greece, as well as being one of the country’s most prominent ports. Here visitors can enjoy a plethora of museums and architectural wonders, as well as head to one of the many tavernas offering fresh local fare.
Pelion is famous for its beaches, and you might even have seen one without even knowing it; the movie Mamma Mia shot some scenes here from Damouchari beach, known for its relaxing green surroundings and large pebbled areas. For unparalleled beauty and golden sands, Mylopotamos is the ideal beach destination. Divided in two by a huge rock which offers shade from the sun, here you’ll find white sand, crystal clear waters, and plenty of areas for diving and exploring.
Pelion also provides lots of shopping opportunities, especially if edible treats are what you’re after! The Women’s Agritourism Cooperative Zagora is renowned for its delicious preserves and sweet products. Pop in for a coffee and a jar of jam made from the small firiki apple, found only in Pelion. There are markets and stalls in the region selling everything from fresh honey, handpicked herbs and olive oil, to biscuits, and baklava, so why not indulge! After all - you are on holiday!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Peleus Sea is wonderful family-friendly accommodation with its quiet and private setting, and open plan layout offering lots of space for little ones to explore. The outside areas are surrounded by a low wall for extra peace of mind, and children will delight in having their own private pool, accessible by steps that enter at the shallow end. Parents should be aware that there is no handrail or fence around the pool, so caution is advised. Having said that, a private family pool will be a welcome addition to holidaymakers who wish to stay in and around the Pelion area rather than venturing into the more ‘touristy’ areas.
Pelion itself a beautiful rural area of Greece that is ideal for families who are looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday destination. The area is famous for its hiking trails, with routes suitable for every age group. The paved pathways are well signposted, eliminating any worries of getting lost, and will lead through the most beautiful scenery of lush green forests, mountains and valleys, showcasing rustic farm buildings, monasteries, springs, and churches along the way. Or why not try walking the Pelion Paths? Cobblestone trails (not suitable for buggies or strollers) that have been connecting the villages of Pelion for centuries.
The region is famous for its beaches, and some of the best are those which are well organised for families with sun loungers, umbrellas, and lifeguard stations. These include Milopotamos, Fakistra, Agios Ioannis, and Horefto. All feature a combination of golden sands and pebbles and crystal clear waters. Some of the beaches have rocky caves and enclaves to explore and are shaded by tall trees, others have beach bars or evening entertainment and others are more secluded and quieter. Most are close to tavernas or ice-cream parlours, ensuring there are refreshments for everyone to enjoy, so you are sure to find a beach that will suit everyone’s needs.
