Early
Fall has its own special beauty. The foliage sings its swan song
in variegated colours. When one walks in the woods his eyes feast
in rainbow colours. It is chestnut and walnut season, and in case
one does not notice it, the squirrels will see to it as they busy
themselves on the trees.
Mid-September to mid-October is the best time for people that like
walking and hiking vacations. The temperature is quite pleasant,
the sea clean and inviting. The general atmosphere in the entire
area is more peaceful and relaxed because the Greek visitors have
already departed for their hometowns and left Pelion to the foreign
visitors.
Late October and November may become wet and a bit cold, though
quite often there are long spells of warm, sunny days. Greek and
other Pelion fanatic fans return to their favourite haunts for long
weekends in order to reimmerse themselves in the purity and beauty
of the mountain and the sea, to get their apple, chestnut and walnut
supply for the winter, to barbecue a steak or two on the glowing
coals in the fireplace while exchanging information about their
skiing plans for the coming winter.
