around the Pelion peninsula, each offering it's own unique beauty
and charm. The village of Pinakates is one such village, which provides
a stunning scenery and offers visitors the chance to sample the
traditions and inspiration of Pelion. |
Pinakates is situated between the villages of Vizitsa
and Agios Georgios, at an altitude of 560 meters. It is a very tranquil
village, filled with traditional buildings, cobblestone paths, and
thriving natural beauty.
The main square of Pinakates, is very special, and here you will

fountain, and the very popular "Pileas Taverna".

hospitality at our taverna, where we hope you will join us for a
tasty home cooked meal. |

over 500 years old, and during the summer months, you can take a
seat here outside in the square and enjoy your meal in a very peaceful
and delightful setting. During the winter months, you can take a
seat inside next to our fireplace, and warm yourselves up from the
cold winter weather outside. |
