Two new hotels for nature excursions

In the charming little village of Kato Gatzea in Pelion, the famous mountain of Thessaly, you’ll find the “Chroma Villas”. The village is an ideal point for your complete relaxation and is recommended for walks on the beach and in the nature, which is at its best in spring. In the summertime, the village sees a lot of traffic and action and every year sailing races take place with the participation of many athletes. Choose among the self-contained villas with the elegant, down-to-earth and relaxing style that makes you feel like you’re in a country house, and experience the ultimate relaxation. With the help of the people that run the complex, you’ll be able to plan and organize any activity you like. Besides, it’s only a ten-minute drive to Ano Gatzea and the station of “Moutzouris” –the legendary train of Pelion– for a short trip to Milies. In the region of western Macedonia, we meet the new “Kleio Resort & Spa” hotel in Amyntaio, Florina. It’s an ideal starting point for excursions to vineyards of the Xinomavro variety that dominate the area and it is also just one breath from Lake Vegoritida. The terrain is suitable for walks and excursions by bike. If you like, with appropriate assistance from the hotel, you can plan all sorts of exciting activities, from wine tasting at nearby wineries to canoeing in the lakes and horseback riding for children and adults. When you return to the hotel, you can relax in the spa, the heated swimming pool, the sauna and the Jacuzzi, or indulge in other available treatments. You can also enjoy the very impressive Modern Greek cuisine menu of the restaurant “Deka”, which is curated by the experienced chefs Sakis Kalliontzis, who has worked in well-known restaurants of Thessaloniki. Every Saturday night, you can hear live funky music. Younger guests can be kept busy in a creative manner in the hotel playground.
