At 480m of altitude, the largest village in Pelion is a gracious viewpoint

over the Aegean Sea. The road zigzags throughout lush green, revealing streams

and waterfalls, charming arhontika and other traditional houses at each turn,

and depicting panoramic scenery all the way to the horizon. A major silk producer

and important trade and export center in the XVIII Century, Zagora is presently

the Greek capital of apples, with a largely cultivated area of top quality fruits. Evidence of its rich historical past and crucial importance on the independence

of Greece is found in several sites of this paradise of peace and nature.
