OTHER IDEAS FOR DAYS TRIPS
The Pelion Peninsula is also within driving distance from this villa with beautiful scenery, historic mountain villages with ancient paved ways through the mountains and pleasant seaside resorts - a good day trip. In winter there is even a ski resort at Agriolefkes on the peninsula! Click here for a snow report!
Further afield you can visit classical Delphi (approx.120km), the Byzantine monasteries of Meteora, perched high on sandstone outcrops (approx.180km) or the fantastic but not much visited Hellenistic/Roman site of ancient Dion (approx. 170km).
South of Amaliapolis is the small port of Glifa which has a daily ferry link (only 15 minutes crossing) to the island of Evia (Euboia) so you can stay in Amaliapolis and visit Evia as well.
