SIGHTSEEING > SOUTH PELION > FAVOURITE SEASIDE VILLAGES >AGIA KIRYAKI
A quaint little village on the Aegean coast with features
reminiscent of those rare unspoilt fishing ports of the Greek
islands. The special Aegean blue of the shutters of the houses
and furniture of the tavernas contrasting with the pots of
red geraniums and gaily painted fishing boats that are very
active in this working, boat-building village makes this spot
of Pelion unique. There are some excellent sea-food restaurants
here. Off season it is very quiet whilst in high season Agia
Kiryaki becomes a favourite haunt for Greek people
eager to retreat from the heat of the big cities and spend
their vacation in a quiet and relaxing way.
At a distance of 6 klm up the mountain (less via the ever
present mule-track shortcut) the traveller will have the pleasure
of discovering the little village of Trikeri,
which, like its neighbour, resembles an island community rather
than typical Pelion village.
