If you choose to fly, you may make your own arrangements or you can request that we organize your flight and transfer. Flights are available to Thessaloniki, Volos or Skiathos. Aegean Airlines and EasyJet fly daily into Thessaloniki. If you wish to have your own car available during your stay on the Pilion, overland travel through Croatia and Serbia is now possible again without difficulty. Many ferries operate between Italy and Greece, so you may decide to combine the convenience of your own car with the relaxation of a sea crossing.
