The people of Pelion are like the weather: calm, warm and friendly!
They know very well how to honour the renowned tradition of "Greek Hospitality". While tourism is an important aspect of Pelion it is rarely the main source of income for most locals. This allows the people of Pelion to build a much more authentic, much more pure relationship with visitors. If you know Greek don't ever hesitate to ask for help or directions but even if you don't you will notice that Peliorites will gladly use body language to aid you! And while it is considered mildly offensive to not accept when someone offers you wine or food, remember that when it comes to "tsipouro" it's ok if you don't always honour the tradition: it is very strong! The Pelion temperament is chiseled by the salty water of Pagaseticos and the Aegean, weathered by the cool wind that blows from the mountain forests and smoothed by the humble pride inherited from centuries' worth of history and mythology. We are certain that during your visit, you will not only discover the Pelion temperament for yourself but also take some of it back home with you!
