The Hidden Gem of Pelion You’ll Discover This Summer
The enchanting Pelion, one of Greece’s most stunning regions, continues to charm visitors year-round with its picturesque villages, mesmerizing beaches, and unspoiled natural landscapes. While many know of its popular destinations, Pelion also hides secret gems that await discovery.
One such place is the small, traditional coastal village of Damouchari.
Though it gained international recognition from the film “Mamma Mia,” where it served as the backdrop for memorable scenes like the “Dancing Queen” choreography and the harbor where Meryl Streep greets her friends, Damouchari remains largely off the beaten path, offering a tranquil escape.
This seaside haven boasts a striking landscape. The beach, covered with smooth white pebbles and surrounded by lush greenery, offers the perfect setting for relaxation and a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters. Damouchari is ideal for those seeking a peaceful summer retreat, with a few local tavernas, a café, and two charming guesthouses overlooking the azure sea.
For adventurers, Pelion offers endless opportunities to explore. If you enjoy hiking, the scenic trail connecting Damouchari to Tsagarada is a must. The walk takes about an hour, winding through a dense forest, and promises a rewarding experience with breathtaking views along the way.
