Resort report: Pelion Peninsula - Francisca Kellett explores an unspoilt region that is popular with Greeks in the know.
(Filed: 12/06/2004)

The Pelion peninsula, according to Greek legend, was the site chosen by the gods for their revelries and holidays. Endorsements can't get better than that, and for today's Greeks the lush mountain scenery and clean beaches are still a popular destination. But, as yet, the area remains little known to travellers from outside Greece. They are missing out on a treat.

Where to stay - Overlooking the giant plane tree is The Lost Unicorn, an old-fashioned English-owned hotel.
