Platanidia

Platanidia, Ano Lechonia, Kato Lechonia, Agios Minas are in Northwest Pelion. Since these villages are close to each other, they are considered as a single travel destination

Having bus number 5 from Volos come right down to the beach here makes this a feasible location to economically base oneself not only for visits to Volos and Agria but also for a trip onto Ano Lechonia's Pelion Train.
