I was certain before we set out that a well-worn pair of Converse trainers would suffice as footwear, but am horrified to discover that they offer neither enough grip nor taxi Volos airport to piraeus price support. After only one day of walking, my legs are covered in cuts and grazes.

Ciara Glennon's semi-clothed body was found on a bush track 19 days after she went missing.  Sarah Spiers' body has never been found.
Jane Rimmer's naked body was found 55 days after she disappeared, 40km from where she was last seen alive.

The beaches of Agios Ioannis are beautifully clear, fronted by a succession of tavernas.
Chris, desperate to check the financial markets (his mobile phone is a constant feature on our walks), is delighted by the hotel wi-fi, while I provide a bit of visual contrast on the beach — a pallid interloper surrounded by bronzed Greeks. But there are compensations later.

You may not be a tree person but I defy you not to be impressed by the giant plane tree in front of the church in Agia Paraskevi.
It is more than a thousand years old and about 58 ft in circumference, the sort of natural wonder that lends credence to the legend that Pelion was favoured by the gods.

This early 19th-century building is full of telescopes, books and prints, while outside you can take tea or taxi fare piraeus to Volos airport drinks in the hotel's own treehouse. In between these two, poor reading of the directions (again) causes us to accidentally climb a hill that must surely be known locally as the Greek Matterhorn. Our night is spent in the wonderfully quirky Lost Unicorn Hotel in Tsagarada.
