The Pilion was mentioned in Greek mythology – as the habitat of such fabulous creatures as the centaurs, those unique hermaphrodites; crossbreeds between man and horse. The Pilion mountain range suited the twelve gods of the Mount Olympus very well to spend their jolly summers in style – a great inspiration for many Greeks, especially every August when they happily escape their hot and sweaty big cities and flock to this gorgeous summer retreat.
