The Small Coastal Village of HORTO -Pelion

THE VILLAGE OF HORTO

Horto is a couple of kms before Milina and I included it in my 16 day tour to Pelion . I had never expected it to be so beautiful. Both Horto and Milina are embedded into green landscape but quite different from the mountainous Pelion. Here you will see plenty of silver-shining olive groves.

There is a small mooring upon entering the village and there are plenty of amazingly beautiful coves, and crystal clear waters around. The magic with these coves is that the colour of the water changes depending where the sun is. Sometimes the water seems green although it is clear and crystal.

I will surely consider spending at least 3 nights at Horto and also at Milina on my coming trip to Pelion before driving northern up to the beautiful mountains with the chestnut, apple and cherry trees and the wood with lush greenery.

I urge people who plan visiting Pelion to count these two villages in. The Pagasitikos gulf is beautiful, and if you are romantic you can enjoy the most stunning and breathtaking sunsets from out here.
