As the festive season approaches, dreams of a perfect Christmas getaway come alive. In the heart of the mountain, with cozy moments by the fireplace, twinkling lights, Christmas traditions and the unique aroma of festive delicacies. And of course, there is no better place to experience this magic than Pelion and the 12 Months Resort & Spa.
A magical setting for the holidays
A welcoming resort in the heart of Pelion, with its stone architecture blending harmoniously with the natural environment and the cool winter air carrying the smell of pine trees and the fireplaces burning all around. Inside, every corner lifts the Christmas mood, with glowing decorations, the warm glow of candles, the magical aromas of Christmas sweets and drinks. Can you think of anything better than spending your holidays at 12 Months Resort & Spa? The perfect place to spend the holidays with your other half, your friends or your family and children. You will find exciting activities for everyone!
Christmas getaway and Greek tradition
From the moment you arrive at 12 Months Resort & Spa we have made sure that you are immediately in the Christmas mood. Pelion is a perfect destination for the Christmas and New Year holidays. You can visit the picturesque villages of the area, with their cobbled streets and stone and decorated mansions. Villages such as Tsagarada, Makrinitsa and Portaria are brimming with festive charm that should not be missed. Listen to the sweet melodies of children singing carols from door to door spreading the magic of Christmas and, why not, you can even join in! If you’re a fan of adventure and sports, the Pelion ski resort in Chania offers the perfect setting for skiing, snowboarding or just making a snowman with your family. Alternatively (or if the weather is not conducive to skiers) explore the beauty of Pelion’s forests with a winter hike, during which you will see stunning images that will be unforgettable.
Enjoy the flavours of Christmas
No Christmas getaway is complete without indulging in the culinary delights of the season, and at 12 Months Resort & Spa, we know this well. Start your day with a hearty breakfast of local flavours and festive treats such as traditional pies, brioche, melomakarona, kourabies and many more options. For your lunch we have prepared traditional Greek dishes with modern variations, made from the best local ingredients, as well as for your Christmas Eve dinner. And of course, no Greek Christmas table can be without the vasilopita, the traditional New Year’s cake that hides a coin – a symbol of luck for the coming year. Accompany your lunch or dinner with a glass of local wine or tsipouro.
Festive relaxation
The holidays are a time for relaxation and time with your loved ones, and at 12 Months Resort & Spa you’ll find the perfect environment for both. Spend your afternoon relaxing at the spa. Choose from a variety of massages, facials and treatments that will banish stress and give you that coveted Christmas glow. If you’d prefer something a little quieter, relax by the fireplace in our lounge with a good book and a cup of hot coffee, chocolate or wine. Play board games with family and friends or tell stories of your favourite Christmases as a child. Go out for a walk under the stars or enjoy a drink on the terrace, wrapped in a warm blanket.
