Chania

Few settlements in Thessaly and Central Greece have a history as closely tied to the mountain passage across Mount Pelion as Chania. Its name, derived from the Greek word for inns, recalls the roadside stops that served travellers crossing the wooded ridge between Volos and the eastern Pelion villages. Today the settlement is associated with the Agriolefkes ski centre, while the slopes descend towards the Pagasetic Gulf on one side and the Aegean Sea on the other. Chania is a useful starting point for experiencing Pelion’s changing mountain conditions and travelling onwards through this distinctive peninsula.
