Poets sang their praise of the beautiful Pelion Peninsula in ancient
times. Homer referred to it as the summer residence of the Gods. On
Pelion's green mountain slopes the wedding of Pileas and Thetis took
place and the gods of Olymp were invited.
Even today Pelion is the most valued
destination for honeymoon travellers among Greeks.
Early medicin and wisdom were cultivated here. Chiron the wisest of all
Centaurs lived on Pelion.
Among his students to the art of healing were Hercules, Jason and
Achilles, the famous hero of the Trojan war.
It was in Pelion that the Greek God of
medicine, Asklepios, was initiated into the art of healing. |
