Country days in Plataniá

We stayed for several days in this small village on the south-east corner of Pelion with many fishing boats in the harbour. A nice place, friendly people, two beautiful beaches and hiking trails. So we got out our hiking boots and looked for a circular hiking trail with a description. It wasn't that easy, as some sections were washed away or devastated by the storms a year and a half ago. With a little patience, we managed to complete the loop. There were stretches where there was no path and we had to crawl through high bushes. But above all, there were plenty of trees and plants, green in every shade. And the views across to Euboea, Skiathos and Skopelos: simply marvellous. 

Sweaty from running, then swimming on the beautiful beach (with a shower!) and afterwards a beer from the barrel with a view of the harbour. A holiday couldn't be better! We're not always this relaxed when we're travelling by boat. We then went on a second hike, which was also beautiful but very steep. And it was very hot, so we arrived back at the bottom pretty knocked out.

Here are a few pictures from our land days:

We are now in the Northern Sporades on the island of Skopelos.
