TRIKERI ISLAND The island of Trikeri, in the south of Pagasetic gulf and at the tip of the Magnesia peninsula, is particularly beautiful and remains, architecturally at least, more or less unchanged since the beginning of the century. It is not much more than a mile across, and a less than a thirty minutes walk takes one across to the other side of the is-land. With a population of fewer than 100, it is so little known that it doesn't even get a mention in most guide-books. The island is free of any traffic (no roads, no cars) and transport is by foot, donkey or boat. There are plenty of olive trees, juniper, oleander and wild flowers. Its untouched bush land and crooked pathways, its numerous wildlife and the stunning sunsets pro-vide the perfect environment to get away from it all. There are dozens of remote coves to be found around the

entire coastline; Trikeri, Pithos and Ai Giannis are pebble, while Afetica, Ai Giorgis, Pithu and Agia Sophia are sandy and pebble. THE MONASTERY OF VIRGIN MARY The island is dominated by the Monas-tery of the Virgin Mary, which is a 15 minutes' walk from the quay and well worth the stroll. It has a small 18th-century church with an arcaded court-yard of cells, and an overgrown garden of orange trees and Madonna lilies. Guests are welcome to visit at certain times of the week. TZASTENI Tzasteni beach, small but nice beach on the southwest part of Pelion Penin-sula. Very quite see, transparent wa-ter, very quite. Relaxing and enjoy a graphic nature and beautiful bay.

THE MONASTERY “ZOODOCHU PIGIS” (LIFE GIVING WATER)ON PRASOUDA ISLAND On the beautiful and virgin island Pra-souda, before unmentioned years a small monastery was built that is a real masterpiece of Vyzantine art, dedi-cated to Zoodocho Pigi. People say that it has been built in the beginning of the 11th century. As soon as the visitor set foot on this warm little island, he meets one old small boat yard the monks from the monastery as well as the fishermen of the region pulled their boats with stormy weather because the island is port less.
