This lovely circular walk through the stone paved paths of Pelion, starts at Aidonofolies at the outskirts of Volos. We can go there by city bus nr. 4 (end of line) or by the regional bus to Portaria. Climbing steadily and enjoying beautiful views over Volos and the sea, we finally reach the square of Portaria village, where we can have a stop for refreshment. Then come back through Stagiates village. We can also visit the spring of Mana near Portaria walking half hour (with return) through a magnificent ravine overgrown with plane trees (highly recommended). In case we want to avoid climbing up, we can still go to Portaria by bus and walk down to Aidonofolies. Total time with stops 4 hours (with return).
