Palladio Hotel
is a hotel in
Portaria
offering a most varied range of services. Its full respect of the
traditional architecture of the region differentiates it from the rest
of the hotels, in one of Pelion's most idyllic villages. Among the most
frequently mentioned destinations in the international travel and
leisure press, Portaria is ideal for a vacation all year round,
offering great variety of choice both to sea and mountain-lovers.
The hotel premises, a model local architecture building complex, stands
out among the old mansions which have been transformed - not always
successfully for that matter- into hotels in Portaria. The traditional
building was built at a first stage, followed by the restoration of the
neoclassical building of 1892. Both buildings operate as of 1990,
consisting of five(5) rooms each. All original woodwork and stonework
material has been preserved, in full harmony with the landscape.
Overlooking the Pagasitikos bay and the village of Makrinitsa, the
distinguished character of our premises can guarantee moments of calm
and relaxation, bringing man closer to nature. Wooden furniture,
fireplaces in almost all rooms, finely handcrafted carpets and
traditional folk items adorn the rooms and the common living areas of
one of the most lavish hotels in Portaria.

Fountains
The word Pelion brings to mind endless expanses of green pasture and
clear, crystalline water. This life giving element actually leaves the
visitor ecstatic. The mind and the eyes relax completely, in any part
of this area. As a result there are many fountains on this mountain.
All over Portaria the visitor may see fountains and springs, simple or
decorated, some with arches, scattered on the main road or in the
narrow cobbled streets.
Reaching the Municipality of Portaria, in front of the low wall, is the
stone fountain which was made in 1965. This fountain is not new, but
was transported from the courtyard of Lambrini Dobas house, where it
was built in 1861. In the ground of the Town Hall there is yet another
exquisite example , made from Propan stones. Further on in the parking
area, one more stone fountain. Here the visitor can stop in peace, far
from the traffic, to taste the cool water, while he appreciates the
sight. Another fountain is near Aghios Nikolaos above the national road
this is whitewashed and decorated with small red tiles.
Going uphill towards Karavos, just before reaching the Devriades
pension, the mayor Vassilis Kontorizos built two together, exactly
beneath the playground. One more small fountain can be seen at the end
of the cobbled street in front of his parental home.
Procceding towards the Red Cross, just as you pass the hotel
"Portaria", under the big plane tree is one more stone fountain.
On the other side, from the Provinical road from Portaria to Makrinitsa
is Adamenas fountain. The unique water is from its own spring. Under
the plane trees in the ravine, meeting place of many residents of
Volos, who come to get water- an excuse I believe- mainly to enjoy the
unforgettable landscape. The beauty, the fresh, cool air, the view.
