Is there traffic in Pelion?

During the summer months and during peak hours, if you decide to swim at one of the most touristic and famous beaches, such as Mylopotamos or Agioi Saranda, during the weekend, it is advisable to go early in the morning (until 10am) because parking spaces disappear later and gradually.

In fact, this can be a problem in places like Agios Saranda with narrow, steeply sloping roads that make parking and manoeuvring difficult when the narrow roads are already occupied by parked cars.

This is because Pelion is a favourite destination even in summer because of the wonderful beaches on both sides (Pagasitikos and Aegean) and of course for the sought-after coolness we described above.

The waters of Fakistra beach will be unforgettable!
