Villa Thetis is situated in the Greek mountain peninsula of Pelion, a natural paradise dotted with sleepy fishing villages made up of traditional stone houses that ooze charm, and fringed by deserted beaches, where swimming in the clear waters has been compared to heaven. Nearby Makrinitsa is one of the most beautiful villages to visit during your stay. Due to the location a car is essential.
Known as the ‘balcony of Mt Pelion’ because of the amazing views due to its 630m above sea level location, those lucky enough to come here will be amazed by its unique beauty. Offering peace and tranquillity, Makrinitsa boasts stone-paved streets and a large square shadowed by tall plane trees. Here visitors can enjoy quaint cafes, the beautiful church and basilica, the folklore museum, and the carved marble fountain, built around 1809 and filled with crystal clear waters known locally as Immortal Water. Or why not head to the village of Argalasti to experience the region’s only fresh food and farmers’ market? Here you’ll find such local delights as freshly caught tuna, mackerel and sardines, wildflower honey, pickled mushrooms, dried thyme and oregano, tresses of garlic, and locally pressed olive oil.
