Beautiful Greek Villages

Milina is a beautiful coastal village on the Pagasetic Gulf, in the southwest of the Pelion peninsula, approximately 49 km from the city of Volos.

Milina has many beautiful beaches with crystal-clear and calm waters ideal for those who are travelling with young children. Milina is considered to be one of the most beautiful villages of southern Pelion, a tiny village you will fall in love with.

The beauty of the landscape is complemented by the islet of Alatas located in Valtoudi, the natural port of Milina. The tiny islet that offers peace, isolated beaches and sea caves, can be visited by a private or rented boat. On Alatas stands the Agioi Saranta monastery, date from the Byzantine period. West of Alatas and at a close distance is situated another small islet called Prasouda, where you will find the old Byzantine monastery of Zoodohos Pigi.

Along the beach you can find a great selection of traditional tavernas, serving excellent food, fresh fish and local specialties as well as bars where you can have a drink overlooking the Pagasitic Gulf.
