Pilion
Pilion

Heavily forested mountain range rising abruptly on the east coast of THESSALY, and stretching in a peninsula into the Aegean Sea north of Euboea. Mount Pilion itself- the main peak in the range - rises to 1548 m (5078 ft). In legend, it was the land of Centaurs and its foothills, washed by abundant streams and with mild winters, was a wild garden of herbs. The district is good for camping and walking, dotted with charming villages of timber-framed houses, such as Portaria, Makrinitsa. Zagora, Mileai, Khania and Tsangaradha. There are ski slopes and, on the Aegean coastline, several holiday resorts, including Makryrakhi and Ayios Yiannis.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
