AGIOS IOANNIS  


The peninsula is only 95km long . The landscape changes as we drive further up with slopes cloaked in chestnut, plane trees and beech. The tortuous roads make for slow driving and it is nice that we don't have to hurry. It is much cooler as we move to the northern side towards Agios Ioannis.As we descend the mountains, the view is breathtaking. The village is indeed a cosmopolitan resort, set on a beautiful beach of sand and pebbles. Right from above you can see the three beaches connected with the one of Agios Ioannis being the central. It extends to the north with the Plaka beach and to the south with the Papa Nero Beach.The village is packed with hotels, studios and apartments for rent, beautiful restaurants, and trendy café bars and lots of night clubs -not my piece of cake but who cares! Even when I was much younger I preferred isolated resorts for peace and tranquility. RESTAURANTS: I can recommend two amazing restaurants where we had lunch. Both are good value for money, they are popular and everything we had was yummy. If you happen to be here don’t miss "Poseidonas". Mrs. Zina is in charge and the catch of fish comes directly from their boat in the pan. If you see less people here don’t think that it is not good. It is just because people go where they see others sitting. What is happening here in Pelion is something I will write about on another entry and you will see what I mean.  The second restaurant is called “Galeos” and the person in charge is Stathis. It is always packed, and the food is good.
