Due to its ease of access, Pelion – also known as the Mountain of the Centaurs – is considered to be a favorite destination all year-round. It offers sites of natural beauty, rich gastronomy and a rich cultural heritage from myths, legends and traditions.

Geo Routes will provide three different 3-day journeys, each available in the region of Magnesia and Mt. Pelion.

The first journey has already launched and is focused on Central Pelion and more specifically introduces the villages of Makrinitsa, Ag.Georgios Nilias, Pinakates, Vyzitsa and Milies.

However, Samaras will now become involved in the process, either meeting or phoning MPs who the government believes might be prepared to vote for Dimas.

The coalition’s aim is to secure at least 165 votes in the first ballot on Wednesday and to then take stock of which lawmakers the coalition might be able to persuade to vote “yes” by the time the final round of voting comes around on December 29. The government needs 200 votes to elect a president in the first two ballots and 180 in the final one.

As the battle for MPs’ votes intensifies, the polarization between the two main parties – New Democracy and SYRIZA – also looks certain to grow.

The controversy was caused when European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker clearly stated his preference for the current government remaining in power rather then being replace by SYRIZA.
