Extract from the Makrintsa Travel Guides:
From Portari many buses detour 2km northwest to
MAKRINTSA
, 17km from Vlos, where stone houses straggle picturesquely down the mountainside. Founded in 1204 by refugees from the first sacking of Constantinople, it offers six outstanding churches plus a monastery, and a group of
traditional mansions
- many restored as accommodation. If your time in Plio is limited, Makrintsa is perhaps the best single target, since the village ranks as one of Greece's prettiest. Inevitably, there is blight on the main lane into the centre from tatty souvenir shops, and plenty of (Greek) day-trippers, but both are easy to escape, and... read the whole Makrintsa Travel Guides...
