Where else would you find the Lost Unicorn but hidden behind the village square with the, reputedly, oldest and largest plane tree in Greece? The tranquil platia of Agia Paraskevi in Tsangarada, famous for its magnificent 1000-year-old tree (with a perimeter of about 17 m!), is an enchanting spot, and provides the perfect setting for this small and homey hotel. The century-old building isn’t quite as grand as most historic Pelion mansions, but inside it is absolutely lovely. It first started operating as a hotel in the 1950s and even though it closed its doors twenty years later, it never quite lost the feel of an old-fashioned hotel.

But be prepared: with the exception of the original terrazzo flooring there is little that is typical Greek or even Mediterranean about it – in fact, it looks more like an elegant British country-house hotel. And to some extent, that is just what it is. It was bought in 1995 by a British-American pair, who filled the large living and dining room, the library, as well as the (smallish) bedrooms with gleaming English Victorian antiques, and served their guests English breakfast and afternoon tea with scones. Nine years later they sold the house and all of its contents to a young British-Greek couple, who decided to continue in the same spirit, while adding a fresh dose of enthusiasm. Clare and Christos receive their guests as friends, spoiling them with excellent breakfasts (you can choose between full English or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon), high teas, drinks by the open roaring fire or on the flowered terrace, and wonderful three-course dinners.

How to get there
The easiest way to reach Tsangarada is to follow signs for Southern Pelion from Volos. You drive along the coastal road for about 20 km and continue following signs for Neohori and Tsangarada. Tsangarada consists of four small communities. The Lost Unicorn is in Agia Paraskevi, and it is signposted from the main road. When you reach the square, continue along the cobbled lane past the church and leave your car at the end. The Lost Unicorn is about 50 m to your left.

Activities
Pelion is an all-year-round destination. During the summer, there are many gorgeous beaches to choose from, while in the winter you can try out the Pelion ski centre. And of course throughout the year, there is walking; in fact there is no better way to explore Tsangarada than by foot. If you want to make sure you get to see the most beautiful, hidden spots you can sign up for a guided walk organised by the Pelion Footprints Walking Club..
