Greece: A cultural and historical mecca.

Posted by Kiley Athanasiou on Wednesday, September 26, 2007


Every corner of Greece is filled with amazing cultural and historical significance. Pelion is no different. Known as the land of the Centaurs and renowned for Jason and the Argonauts, Pelion played an integral part of Greek Mythology. A mere 15 minutes away from the Wishflower Villa, you can experience the beauty and serenity of a restored 12th century monastery called Moni Paou. In the city of Volos you can visit two different archaeological digs or browse the Museum of Volos. An easy day trip and one not to miss are the famous hanging Monasteries of Metéora. You will be astounded at the ingenuity of the ancient Greek monks! To imbibe some amazing history visit the Macedonian burial site of the family of Alexander the Great called the Royal Tombs of Phillip II at Vergina. If you are looking for a little American culture, there is now a Starbucks located in Volos. Even if you aren't the Starbucks type, don’t miss out on the typical Greek iced coffee called frappé.
