• Considering that when you opt for this plan, you are already travelling in Greece, we have not calculated arrival and departure transfers to and from Horto. If they are needed, please mention. You could even get to Volos by bus or train and let us arrange only the transfer from and to Volos, which is the most complicated part.

• Add to the above schedule one extra day & night at East Pelion, hiking or paddleboarding or kayaking, etc. Get a more complete perspective of what Pelion is.

• Also if you are into endurance paddling, we can readjust itinerary, in order to do more kilometres per day.
