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.
The travel company Macs Adventure has arranged our trip (yes, Dion greece taxi fare to airport I really did just type ‘adventure holidays' into a search engine), which includes transferring our luggage between hotels and providing us with route notes for Dion guided tours each day's walk.
Despite the latter, a fatal combination of overconfidence (I am seized by the delusion that I am a born explorer) and poor map-reading causes us to set off in the opposite direction to that in which we should be heading.
Mr Johnson has opted for luxury overseas holidays in the past, including spending Christmas in the Caribbean island of Mustique. It is there that he is believed to have proposed to have proposed to his now-fiancée Carrie Symonds (pictured together)
But there are compensations later. The beaches of Agios Ioannis are beautifully clear, taxi Vergina to airport price 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.
By some local accounts, he arrived to the region by private car after documenting his controversial journey from the UK on social media, sharing a video taken from a plane and a selfie where his face was covered with a white mask.
He has a variety of options, including the PM's grace-and-favour homes Chevening and Chequers - where Miss Symonds isolated while pregnant during the pandemic - and his privately-owned farmhouse in Oxfordshire.
Our night is spent in the wonderfully quirky Lost Unicorn Hotel in Tsagarada. In between these two, poor private taxi Vergina greece reading of the directions (again) causes us to accidentally climb a hill that must surely be known locally as the Greek Matterhorn. This early 19th-century building is full of telescopes, books and prints, while outside you can take tea or drinks in the hotel's own treehouse.
Blaming my inadequate footwear rather than lack of fitness, I struggle on — and soon the prospect of a lunch of Pelion sausage in peppers and aubergine and a Mythos beer has lubricated my joints. By this stage my blisters are less of a problem than the fact that my knees no longer seem to be functioning.
Pictured: Mr Johnson on holiday on the Greek island of Trikeri in 2016 - when he was Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak are both set to shun foreign holidays this summer and taxi from Dion to Dion instead favour 'staycations' in the UK, sources suggest.
The forest, taxi from Dion to Dion descending taxi from Vergina port to acropolis the terrace of the Hotel Manthos, spreads out like a green carpet to the sea, while swallows patrol the sky above. Narnia is the theme of our first stop: the village of Chania, near the top of Mount Pelion.
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 support. After only one day of walking, my legs are covered in cuts and grazes.
