Autumn getaways in Thessaly

Exploring the Greek Nature in Fall: A Journey Through Meteora and Pelion

Fall is the ideal time for those seeking serene getaways amidst the splendid Greek nature. With the receding summer temperatures, November offers sunny days without the scorching summer heat. Greece is known for its magnificent natural landscapes, and fall is the perfect season to explore the beauty of its inland areas.

This November, we have chosen two Greek destinations that are truly worth visiting during the fall. Once December sets in, it becomes challenging to enjoy an excursion peacefully or even find the desired accommodation.

Meteora, with its surreal rock formations and monasteries perched atop towering cliffs, is nothing short of a masterpiece painted by nature. In the fall, the landscape undergoes a magical transformation. The lush greenery transforms into a mosaic of warm reds, oranges, and yellows, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the monastic buildings. Exploring Meteora during fall means experiencing tranquility, with fewer tourists and milder weather. The crisp air adds to the mystique, making it an ideal time for hiking the trails that wind through this extraordinary terrain.

Pelion, known as the mountain of the Centaurs, is a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Fall paints Pelion in breathtaking shades of gold, orange, and red. Pelion’s hiking trails beckon adventurers, offering a chance to immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity of the region. The charming villages and traditional guesthouses offer warm hospitality, making your fall getaway a memorable experience.
