The village of Portaria is one of extreme natural beauty, with magnificent scenery and a setting where you can experience Pelion at it's most impressive.
Portaria is located just 12km from the famous Pelion ski centre of Agriolefkes, and is the most popular village of visitors during the winter season. At "Alvion" our rooms are ideal for those planning on enjoying ski at the Agriolefkes. During the spring and summer season, the village is filled with colourful flowers, flourishing trees and nature, and is ideal for those seeking to escape from the stress and noise of everyday city life.

There are many paths that one can follow, enjoying a journey past the fresh water springs, the thriving nature, and wonderful panoramic views stretching as far as the eye can see.
There are several charming churches that are located in Portaria that are well worth visiting if you have the chance. The 13th century Monastery of "Panayias of Portareas" is one of the most impressive and important, and is where the village took it's name from. The main square of Portaria, where you will find "Alvion Rooms and Restaurants" is the centre of the village, and a place where you can enjoy a coffee or drink under the shade of the huge plane trees that dominate the square, and which create a very peaceful and relaxing environment.

During the summer months, various festivals take place in Portaria, to which everyone is welcome to attend. Several dance festivals take place between May to August, and here you can enjoy music and dance from all over the world. A revival of a traditional Pelion wedding also takes palce each August, and this is well worth attending if you have the chance, where you can enjoy a very authentic and unique experience. Portaria is an ideal base from which you can visit some of the other neighbouring towns and villages such as the famous village of Makrinitsa, which is just 2km.
