Description
Makrirachi, the village of flowers is located among the verdant slopes of Pelion, the Divine Mountain of the Centaurs where it emerges among its rich vegetation. Traveling to Eastern Pelion you come across the village of Makrirachi, a main destination for a dip in the most beautiful beach of Pelion.. "Agioi Saranda"!!!
The name of our village was given by its residents, because it is built on the only long ridge of a hill in Pelion, at an altitude of 250m, with permanent residents that do not exceed 800. The view from the first ray of sunlight that successively bathes the village with light, as it rises from the sea, offers you unique peace.
Turning your gaze to the right, you notice a lush green mountain, which gives you the feeling that it embraces the village, leaving a large gap at both ends so that you can enjoy the view of the endless blue of the sea, reaching your gaze all the way to Halkidiki. As a "CELL OF CULTURE" Some people described it in a newspaper article describing the activities and customs of our village, starting from the eve of the Lights and ending on New Year's Eve, thus completing the cycle of a year.
Everyday life may resemble a village overrun by adults and elderly people, but this view is dispelled by a visit during Christmas, Halloween, Easter, the entire summer and weekends, seeing the streets, the square and every courtyard, who return from the cities to enjoy and relive moments of tranquility and memories. The residents' love for nature has led them to take care of it, transporting their products to every corner of Greece. Hundreds of varieties of flowers and many varieties of fruit are their main occupation.
Many refer to it as "Garden Village" since the gardenia was the first flower that brought economic growth to our village, and continues to be first in everyone's preferences due to its beauty and wonderful aroma. Reaching the end of this journey, we believe we have given you a small taste of the life and beauty that another small village out of the 24 villages of Pelion can offer you!
The distance in kilometers from Makrirachi, Pelion to the beach of Agioi Saranda, Pelion is 3.8 km.
