LOCATION: The base of the Guided Walks Programme will be at north-eastern Pelion, in the village of Mouresi, one of the "villages of the flowers", situated in a densely forested terrain criss-crossed by mule-tracks and paths. Mouresi commands stunning views to the turquoise Aegean Sea and is flanked by beautiful beaches.

Our aim is to provide you with healthy exercise on the slopes and peaks of Mount Pelion, the Greek Paradise. Leisurely and brisk walks along paths and mule-tracks, ascents and descents and occasional steep climbing through wonderfully forested terrain combined with a refreshing dip in the emerald waters of unspoilt beaches will help you build stamina and fill you with energy for the rest of the year. At the same time you will have the opportunity to partake of the local cuisine and wine, to admire the local architecture and get to know Pelion and Greece a little better through age old myths, history and traditions.

Our escapades and wanderings will take us up and down the mountain, deep down in hidden valleys, across rivers and near waterfalls, over old and new stone bridges, along coastal paths on wild rocky terrain, through thick chestnut and beech forests. We will walk by lovingly tended gardens, serene olive groves, beautiful apple and cherry orchards enhanced with the occasional pear, walnut, plum, fig, quince, mulberry, lemon, orange and vine tree, while the wild flowers and herbs of the mountain together with the Christmassy holly tree give the mountain a festive atmosphere. We will also walk the alleys and paths of traditional villages, dine or lunch under the shade of majestic, centuries old plane trees, quench our thirst with spring water at marble and stone fountains, swim at lovely beaches, and cruise to an island where Time does not pay frequent visits.
