Apple orchards, a historic library and stone houses above the Aegean.
Zagora is Pelion's largest village, known for its apple cooperative, eighteenth-century learning and views above the beach at Chorefto.
Zagora spreads across wooded slopes in four districts, with stone houses, churches and the historic Library of Zagora preserving rare books and manuscripts. The village played an important role in Pelion's education and trade.
Apple orchards surround the settlement, organised through the well-known Zagorin cooperative. A winding road descends to Chorefto's long Aegean beach, linking mountain agriculture with summer coast.
Practical information
A car is useful, though buses run from Volos. Harvest traffic and winter weather affect roads; arrange library visits and park outside narrow village lanes.
