This whole area is so truly beautiful. I was visiting a cousin who had married a Greek and was living in Volos at the time. Tho' I visited it way back in the 70's it has stayed as vivid as ever in my mind. The waterfalls hidden within the mountain forests are like entering a womb of time. The slate roofs as you drive the curving roads and the fruit trees everywhere take you with them to another dimension.
