Pelion northeastern loop

South Pelion

Frozen mist hike, Agriolefkes

Easy along the coast from Volos

Hello Pelion peninsula

Slept in the tiny central square of an empty village, Chorto, under an eucalyptus tree by the sea. Cold night again and I almost ran out of car battery from using the diesel heater a bit too happily. It's sunny and warming up in the next days, but still cold and windy, so sticking to lower altitudes, exploring the scarcely populated south of the peninsula. If Volos is quite young with dozens of adolescent groups roaming  the city center in the evening, this remote side seems for the 70+ driving their prehistoric  indestructible pickups: Toyota Rex, Mazdasaurus and once Ina while a funny little critter called Suzuki Jimny. Some households have 2-3 of these in various conditions of degradations, I guess for spare parts 🤷‍♂️. Empty roads, fishing villages, goats, typical Greek postcard views 🤩 I now am almost convinced that summer tourism in Greece is a trap. Even with colder than usual weather, this beats any summer cycling trip I ever did in Greece. The words of a park4night reviewer about last night's now empty parking place: "there are tens of cars blocking the road, impossible to get in or out except maybe at night"
