A peninsula, offers unique sights by combining the two elements of land and sea with villages perched on the side of mountains or laying on the shores of the sea. This intertwining of mountain and sea affects the way that people live their lives. At the village cafe, the goat herder meets with the fisherman, the baker with the wooden boat builder, the carpenter with the fireman, the priest with the greengrocer, and their separate lives are bonded through a common understanding and concern that arise from this unique geographical location.
On the peninsula of Pelion in Greece lying on the north of Athens, jutting out into the Aegean sea on one side and surrounding the gulf of Pagasitikos on the other, one finds traditional villages still unattached, to a large extent and especially outside the summer months, by mass tourism with people doing activities and mostly living their lives in ways similar to those of their predecessors.
