Horto Villas

Situated in the small village of Horto, these conveniently located two bedroom villas are within minutes of the beach and local tavernas, and if even that’s a step too far on those days when complete relaxation is a must, each has its own swimming pool with ample space for enjoying the sun and letting the world pass by. Both villas have two bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a comfy sofa bed in the lounge, a well-equipped kitchen and a balcony overlooking the gardens and the pool.

Horto itself is an excellent base from which to explore the whole peninsula, in all its diversity. The adventurous will want to take in the incredible narrow gauge railway - over 100 years old -  lovingly restored by local enthusiasts and running daily in July and August. The ride runs from the coastal village of Ano Lechonia up to the traditional mountain village of Milies, looping around steep crags and crossing spectacular gorges via a series of extraordinary bridges. If that’s not energetic enough there is a footpath beside the line that can be followed all the way back to the coast.

Further into the mountains half hidden amongst the chestnut and cherry trees equally historic settlements, some with small, local museums full of artifacts and displays of the Pelion’s colourful history. The Aegean coast, with its rocky headlands enclosing picturesque beaches and bays, is equally accessible from these villas, or leave the car behind and take a caique cruise to the small island just off the tip of the claw to visit the isolated old monastery. Perhaps hire your own boat for the day and explore the coast for yourself.

Horto Villas are a good choice for small families or two larger groups of friends occupying both villas. A lovely location to enjoy and explore this enchanting region.
