From here, the midway point, travellers could take a spectacular trip down to Volos on a narrow-gauge rail track built more than a century ago by the father of the surrealist painter Giorgio de chirico. Sadly, the line had just shut down at the end of the summer when I arrived, and I never had the chance to peek from the train's windows at the mythic mountain cave of chiron the centaur, tutor to Hercules and Achille

The Pelion is only a few hours' drive taxi from athens to delphi one of Greece's most astonishing treasures: the monasteries of the Meteora, perched on sheer spikes of rock that rise from a desolate plain. They're worth it for the sake of the beauties that lie hidden away in the churches and monasteries of these remote villages.

Visiting one of the archontiko at Vizitza, an hour's drive south from Volos, I was enchanted by its combination of strict practicality and sheer beauty.
Animals were housed on the ground floor, the warmth of their bodies helping to heat the small, cosy winter rooms of the family above. Often converted these days for use as hotels, these wonderful old stone houses were originally built by Greeks who made their fortunes in egypt and returned to make a show of their success, back in the Pelion.
