PELION STORMS

The rains were relentless and water gushed down the mountain, overflowing every creek and gully, bringing large rocks and broken trees with it. Roads and footpaths were damaged, and the coastal landscape changed. However, repairs have been done and the central Pelion road has been re-connected with a new bridge between Moursei and Kissos, and another between Kala Nera and Koropi. Repairs to minor roads and footpaths are underway, with the intention of restoring the complete infrastructure and kalderimi network by Spring.
The area is as alive and beautiful as ever!
There is road access from Volos to Tsagarada via:

  • Portaria, Hania, Kissos and Mouresi
  • Makrirachi, Anilio and Mouresi
  • Neohori
  • Milies



The Lost Unicorn hotel is a charming and intimate hotel off the beaten tourist track in one of Greece's most beautiful mountainous regions in the eastern part of central Greece in Tsagarada, Pelion.

According to Greek mythology, Pelion is the region Greek gods chose to holiday and celebrate and it's easy to see why they would - it is famous for its rich heritage and historical architecture. Tsagarada boasts the oldest and largest plane tree in Europe, the deepest gorge in Pelion, (Mylopotamos Gorge) as well as the amazing beaches of Milopotamos, Fakistra and Karavostasia Bay.

Tsagarda has four districts marked by a square, each named after the church of the region - Agios Taxiarchis, Agia Paraskevi, Agios Stefanos and Agia Kiriaki. Each region is connected by a network of stone paths offering you countless walking opportunities around the region.

The Lost Unicorn Hotel offers eight rooms and occupies an 19th century mansion on the edge of Agia Paraskevi square - it features a magical flower-filled terrace from where guests can enjoy fine quality European and modern Greek cuisine with a selection of the best Greek wines while overlooking the oldest Plane Tree in Europe.

All rooms have private bathrooms and most have balconies and high ceilings with colonial fans or air conditioning. The hotel features a well-stocked library where guests can relax and enjoy a book or listen to vinyl records. and an aristocratic Salon filled with antiques where guests can have a drink from the bar.
