History
        In the old days, there were no roads; no snow-ploughs. During winter, when the snow started, the village of Vyzitsa became impossible to live in, as did many other villages in Pelion. The villagers had their winter homes at a lower altitude and during the winter they generally moved down and spent the winter collecting their olives. Argireika was one of the places the villagers moved to. It had five cafes, a school and a church and all the villagers lived there from October till March.

        The location is spectacular. Surrounded by olive trees, 300 metres above sea level, the village offers a splendid view across the Pagasitikos Gulf. Nestling in Mount Pelion, with the sea lying below, the village is just 2.5 km away from Kala Nera. It's a great walk down to the Blue Flag beach of Kala Nera, which is one of the most well-organised tourist spots in the area. You can go there on foot, but remember it's uphill on the return walk! Alternatively, of course, you can use a bike, a car or even a bicycle. And if you don’t have your vehicle, you can rent one at Kala Nera.
