Gazing at it, you’d think it had always been there. Everything blends so beautifully and harmoniously—the water, the dense vegetation, the picturesque villages, the rugged mountains, and their reflections on the still, mirror-like surface. It’s a place that transforms with the seasons yet never loses its charm. It feels like many places in one, each more beautiful than the last.

And yet, the lake wasn’t always there.

Pelion stretches across eastern Magnesia, forming a natural boundary between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea. Administratively, the mountain belongs to four municipalities: Volos, Zagora-Mouresi, South Pelion, and Rigas Feraios. Its geographical regions—Northern, Eastern, Central, and Southern Pelion—are not strictly defined but flow naturally into one another, creating a unified and multifaceted landscape.
