    Portaria is perhaps the most famous and visited Pelion village. This is due to the traditional beauty of the village and to the fact that is situated just 12 km from Volos town. Furthermore, during winter it is probably the last refueling stop for the Pelion ski resort (just 13 km) or the place for lunch, coffee and anything else that may relax skiers before returning back home.
