Kelly Beach Hotel is an ideal base for exploring Pelion's coastline and its timeless villages. From nearby beaches and boat tours to hiking, watersports, and unforgettable day trips, our team can help you plan experiences that match your pace: relaxed, adventurous, or a mix of both.
Agios Ioannis and nearby Papa Nero are among the most beautiful beaches on Pelion's eastern coast, known for crystal-clear waters and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere. Papa Nero is just minutes away (around a 4-minute drive or a 13-minute walk), while Damouchari Beach is a short drive (around 13 minutes) and offers a more scenic, cinematic setting. Plaka Beach is also within walking distance for easy, spontaneous swims. With the sea so close, your days can be as simple as stepping out and letting the Aegean set the rhythm.
Pelion's villages preserve a timeless character, warm hospitality, and a cuisine rooted in local tradition.
Explore the picture-perfect stone villages of Makrinitsa and Portaria, stroll through Volos for a seaside promenade and local flavours, or visit Tsagarada and Kissos for authentic architecture, shaded squares, and a slower pace of life.
Beyond the shoreline, Pelion invites exploration for every level of energy.
Spend the day on the water with sea kayaking, SUP, windsurfing, canoeing, jet ski, snorkelling or fishing, or choose a boat trip along dramatic cliffs to discover Poseidon's caves from the sea.
For guests who want to go beyond Pelion for a full-day adventure, there are rewarding longer excursions that make for memorable highlights of the trip.
Meteora is an iconic choice, with its extraordinary monasteries perched high on rock formations, while Thessaloniki offers a vibrant city escape with culture, shopping, and food.
